Peace Minus One X Nike Air Force 1 Low Paranoise F&F sneakers designed by G-Dragon is being resold for almost 40 million KRW (~32,018 USD)

Peace Minus One X Nike Air Force 1 Low Paranoise F&F sneakers, designed by Big Bang's G-Dragon as a limited gift to family and friends, were trading at high prices in the resale market.

On February 1, the sneakers in size 270 (size 9 US men) were being resold for 39,999,000 KRW (~32,009 USD).

The sneakers, which were named 'F&F (Family & Friends),' are said to have been produced by G-Dragon in a limited edition of 88 pairs with special numbering and handed out to his closest associates. For that reason, it is also a sneaker that is rarely seen in the used market.

But last year, the same sneakers in size 280 were already sold for 33 million KRW (26,423 USD) on a used luxury goods site, and there is a history of the sneakers being sold for 35 million KRW (28,024 USD) on another second-hand trading site. Additionally, it is said that the sneakers were only gifted to G-Dragon's close friends, so it would be possible to find out who sold the sneakers because the dust bag, tag, and box were customized to have the acquaintances' social media tags on them.

G-Dragon first revealed these shoes on his Instagram on November 3, 2019, but the sneakers began showing up on used items sites around July 2022.

After seeing the sneakers being sold, online users commented, "He found out who his real friends were through 40 million KRW," "I'm surprised they would think about selling them. I wonder if they needed money," and "I would stop being friends with the people who sold their shoes."

The Peace Minus One X Air Force 1 Paranoise series, also known as 'GD Force,' is gaining immense popularity not only in Korea but also among global stars. Even world stars such as soccer players Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland have gotten in line to get their hands on the G-Dragon-designed shoes.

Kinda douchey to re-sell a gift that was personally given to you.

Obviously, they sold them for money. But, they're solding their friendship or family relationship at the same time. So sad actually...
