South Korea is the only Asian country in Nike’s top-tier World Cup collaboration program for 2026 — and the kit that got it there has G-Dragon’s signature daisy logo stitched across the back.
Nike calls the tier “X2,” reserved for national federations paired with a fashion-name collaborator — joining federations such as France, England, the Netherlands, and the United States, according to Footy Headlines’ reporting in late May 2026. Korea’s collaborator is G-Dragon’s own label, PEACEMINUSONE, and the resulting capsule — officially unveiled in Seoul on May 30, 2026, per Footy Headlines, and displayed publicly at Seoul’s 63 SkyPicnic May 30–31 per House of Heat — is built entirely around his signature daisy mark, its petals colored red and blue to echo the Korean flag, with the Nike Swoosh worked into the center of the flower.
The capsule went on direct sale in Seoul first. It reached nike.com globally on June 12, 2026, according to FINALLY OFFLINE’s report that day — by which point it had already expanded well past the original pre-match jersey into a track jacket, a polo, lifestyle tees, and a headline sneaker: a Cryoshot built on the silhouette of the 2010 CTR360 Maestri II boot, finished in distressed suede with PEACEMINUSONE branding worked in. That shoe carries SKU HQ1460-100, retails for $210, and was slated to drop on Nike SNKRS on June 16, 2026, per House of Heat’s June 1 coverage.
None of this is separate from the actual match kit, which is where the X2 placement really shows up. The performance home jersey builds its print from the Taegukgi trigrams on the national flag rendered in tonal red, while the away kit shifts to white with a navy print drawn from traditional nubi silk weaving — both reported by FINALLY OFFLINE, which also notes the 2026 crest update commemorates South Korea’s 2002 World Cup semifinal run, still the country’s best finish at the tournament. Nike has held the Korea Football Association’s kit contract since 1995, making this its 11th edition of the national kit. Globally, the performance match kit prices at roughly $165, with the fan version running $50 to $70 depending on market, per the same report.
Put plainly: this is the first time a Korean designer’s own label has been handed a World Cup kit tier alongside the likes of France and the Netherlands, rather than just supplying a guest collab layered on top of someone else’s kit. If a PEACEMINUSONE x Nike piece shows up in your feed between now and the tournament, that’s the context behind it — it’s not a side project, it’s the actual commercial bracket Nike put Korea in for 2026.
