Winthe South Korean national football team and PEACEMINUSONE put footwear at the heart of their latest federation project with the Cryoshot CTR360 x Korea x PEACEMINUSONE. Traffic revives the Nike CTR360 through a new construction designed for everyday wear, connecting a familiar football silhouette with PEACEMINUSONE graphics and South Korean identity.
Nike developed the Cryoshot concept by returning to football boots from its archive and adapting them for use away from the pitch. The project maintains the recognizable shape of the classic grids while changing the sole for streets and everyday traffic. A transparent outsole covers the studs, allowing the original structure of the football to remain visible while creating a wearable base.
PEACEMINUSONE chose the CTR360 to contribute to the launch of Cryoshot. The South Korean label gives the model a vintage treatment via distressed synthetic suede, which introduces a worn surface to the upper. Embroidered and printed branding completes the design, adding graphic details without detracting from the boot’s football origins. The clean outsole becomes the sneaker’s defining construction feature. Nike encloses the studs within the transparent base, preserving one of the boot’s most recognizable elements while separating them from direct contact with the ground.
The collaboration comes from the larger South Korea x PEACEMINUSONE federation collection, which is inspired by Korean gatherings and the shared energy created when many people gather.
PEACEMINUSONE brings its signature flower into contact with images related to the Korea Football Association. This visual connection is seen throughout the wider release via co-branded prints and patches. On the Cryoshot CTR360, embroidered and printed graphics bring the same relationship between PEACEMINUSONE and South Korean football to the footwear design.
Distressed synthetic suede gives the sneaker an aged finish that supports the vintage direction. Its texture contrasts with the sheer transparency of the outsole, while the visible stud structure keeps the shoe connected to the original CTR360. The Cryoshot CTR360 appears in a wider collection of federations bearing PEACEMINUSONE and KFA graphics, extending the collaboration beyond footwear.
