BTS’ J-Hope got a little courtside action at the Los Angeles Lakers game on Thursday, and kinda sneak dropped a preview of the highly-anticipated Air Jordan 3 ‘Seoul’ sneakers while at it.
Pulling to the Lakers vs Warriors matchup (which featured the typical high scoring showdown between LeBron James and Steph Curry, as usual), the singer had everybody looking at his kicks, which were the new “Seoul 2.0” colorway slated to hit Nike SNKRS and select retailers this spring. The original “Seoul” silhouette was first released seven years ago to commemorate the 30-year anniversary of the South Korean capital’s hosting of the Summer Olympics, and its sequel takes things up a notch.
Crafted with a grey outsole that contains an elephant print mudguard that contrasts beautifully against the white sole. A mixture of red, white, blue and black color schematics can be seen throughout, and the royal blue ankle collar is specifically stitched with cotton, as it draws inspiration from traditional Korean garments.
