In total, G-Dragon's Paranoise sneakers were sold out all across 44 countries in the space of 30 minutes.G-Dragon's collab with Nike was his first project after he was discharged from the military last year.
Feedback for the latest project was mainly positive from fans who commented on G-Dragon's post. Some fans said that they liked the versatility of the design because they can be worn as everyday shoes but they could also be worn for high fashion events.
Some fans said that they were even better than the last ones. Some said that the daisy logo looked so good with the shoes.
While fans were preoccupied with the shoes, G-Dragon's good friends, Taeyang and former 2NE1 leader CL, took time out to greet him a happy birthday as he turned 32 on August 18, Soompi reported.
In his post, Taeyang posted cute images of himself and G-Dragon when they were still kids, which showed just how long they have been friends. CL, similarly, posted a throwback black and white photo of herself with the birthday boy, which she complemented with stickers of a dragon and a cherry. The stickers were allusions to GD's name and CL's name, which sounds like cherry.
G-Dragon, also, posted some random snaps to celebrate with VIPs on social media. Most of his photos were related to peaceminusone.
