G-DRAGON’s ZO&FRIENDS x Converse sneakers: most now sell near retail on KREAM, from ₱4,100
Quick summary

· Converse Korea: three of the four have sold out, and the Chuck 70 X Blue is down to sizes 220 and 230. The store also sells these limited pairs only to members with Korean identity verification.
· KREAM: all four are available, and three now have a lowest ask at or just below the original retail price. Only the Lift Fable Pink still sells at a premium.
· How to buy: Buy&Ship proxy shopping places the KREAM order for you. Forwarding from our Korea warehouse to the Philippines starts from ₱620 for the first pound.
Converse’s collaboration with ZO&FRIENDS, the character IP G-DRAGON created with LINE FRIENDS, arrived in Korea on 3 September 2026: two high-tops, a low-top Chuck 70 X and a women’s Lift platform, each carrying ZOA the cloud cat and the daisy motif G-DRAGON has used for years.
Three weeks on, the official Korean store has sold out of three pairs and has two sizes left of the fourth. On KREAM, Korea’s authenticated sneaker marketplace, the launch-week premium has mostly gone: the Daisy White and Cool Grey start at their original retail price, and the Blue starts slightly below it. Both sites, however, only serve Korean shoppers.

Converse Korea and KREAM: where the four pairs stand
Converse Korea: three pairs sold out, and limited to verified Korean members
The collection was released through converse.co.kr, the online store run by Converse Korea, which is separate from the global converse.com. Stock for the four pairs:
| Model | Original retail price | Converse Korea, 28 Sep |
|---|---|---|
| (W) Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Fable Pink | ₩95,000 | Sold out |
| Chuck 70 X Cool Grey | ₩119,000 | Sold out |
| Chuck Taylor All Star Daisy White | ₩89,000 | Sold out |
| Chuck 70 X Blue | ₩109,000 | Sizes 220 and 230 only |
Even where a size is in stock, the product pages set a higher bar than delivery. They state that these are limited items for members only, and that only members who have completed Korean identity verification can buy them, with one purchase per account. That verification is tied to a Korean identity, so an overseas shopper cannot complete it.
KREAM: all four available, three at or near retail
KREAM is Korea’s largest sneaker resale marketplace, working much like StockX or GOAT: sellers list pairs they own, and KREAM inspects each one before it is passed to the buyer. Every product page carries KREAM’s guarantee of 100% authentic items, expert inspection and triple compensation if a fake gets through. Because stock comes from individual sellers, all four pairs are still available even though the official store has sold out.
KREAM is a domestic service, however. It has no language or region setting and no option to ship overseas, so it cannot be used directly from abroad.
KREAM prices are live asks, not fixed prices. The headline figure is the lowest price any seller is asking, across all sizes, and it moves with demand. Individual sizes can sell for much more: on 28 September, the Cool Grey’s lowest ask was ₩119,000, yet a size 245 had traded that day at ₩150,000. Give your exact size when you order, and treat the prices below as a guide.
Buy&Ship proxy shopping: we place the Korean order for you
With proxy shopping, you send us the KREAM product link and your size, and our team places the order in Korea. If your size is still listed on the official store, we can check that too. Once the pair reaches our Korea warehouse, it is forwarded to you.
- All four pairs are within reach, including the three sold out at Converse Korea
- No Korean account, identity verification or Korean-language checkout needed on your side
- Shipping is charged by weight, and parcels can be consolidated
Forwarding from our Korea warehouse to the Philippines starts at ₱620 for the first pound and ₱380 for each additional pound. A second delivery option is priced differently; the pricing page lists both. The pricing page always has the current figures.
What is ZO&FRIENDS, and how is G-DRAGON involved?
ZO&FRIENDS is a character IP developed by IPX, the company behind LINE FRIENDS, together with G-DRAGON, and unveiled in July 2025 after nearly two years of work. G-DRAGON was involved from concept through design, and the characters draw directly on his own life:
- ZOA, the lead character, is a slow-moving cloud cat modelled on G-DRAGON’s own cat, Princess Zoa
- A&NE draws on the daisy, G-DRAGON’s long-standing signature motif, which is the theme of the Daisy White pair
- AKI, ZAKI and the other characters complete the storybook world
The Converse range is the IP’s first footwear collaboration and also includes apparel and accessories. Its direct link to G-DRAGON is a large part of why the sneakers sold out so quickly in Korea.
The four ZO&FRIENDS x Converse sneakers, with prices in pesos
1. (W) Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Fable Pink (sold out on Converse Korea)
The women’s Lift platform version: soft pink canvas on a white platform sole, with a ZOA badge and daisy details on the heel and upper. It is the gentlest-looking of the four, and the only one that still carries a clear premium on KREAM — the lowest ask is about 39% above the original retail price.
Retail price: ₩95,000 (about ₱4,380) | Converse Korea: sold out | KREAM: from ₩132,000 (about ₱6,090)
2. Chuck 70 X Cool Grey (sold out on Converse Korea)
A high-top Chuck 70 in grey canvas on a cream sole, with a large daisy patch and a ZOA face patch on the toe — the boldest graphics in the collection. Its lowest ask on KREAM is back at the original retail price, although popular sizes have recently traded higher.
Retail price: ₩119,000 (about ₱5,490) | Converse Korea: sold out | KREAM: from ₩119,000 (about ₱5,490)
3. Chuck Taylor All Star Daisy White (sold out on Converse Korea)
A high-top covered in an all-over daisy print, the motif behind the ZO&FRIENDS character A&NE. It is the most recognisable pair in the set and the most affordable, with the lowest KREAM ask matching the original retail price.
Retail price: ₩89,000 (about ₱4,100) | Converse Korea: sold out | KREAM: from ₩89,000 (about ₱4,100)
4. Chuck 70 X Blue (two sizes left on Converse Korea)
A low-top Chuck 70 X in bright blue canvas on a cream sole, with small ZOA and daisy badges on the sides — the easiest of the four to wear every day. It is the only pair still listed on Converse Korea, but only in sizes 220 and 230. On KREAM, the lowest ask is slightly below the original retail price.
Retail price: ₩109,000 (about ₱5,020) | Converse Korea: sizes 220 and 230 only | KREAM: from ₩107,000 (about ₱4,930)
Prices and stock were checked on 28 September 2026 and change often; the Converse Korea online store and KREAM are the final word. KREAM prices vary by size, so check the live price for your size before ordering. Product images © Converse Korea. Conversions use 1,000 KRW ≈ ₱46.1 (September 2026) and are a guide only.
What one pair costs, delivered to the Philippines
Taking the Daisy White as an example (lowest KREAM ask ₩89,000, about ₱4,100), one pair works out roughly as follows:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Shoes (lowest KREAM ask) | ₩89,000 (about ₱4,100) |
| KREAM delivery within Korea | ₩3,000 (about ₱140) |
| Shipping from Korea to the Philippines (about 3 lb: ₱620 + ₱380 × 2) | ₱1,380 |
| Proxy shopping service fee | Shown when you submit your order |
| Subtotal (before the service fee) | about ₱5,620 |
Shipping is a large share of the total here: on this example it adds roughly a third to the price of the shoes. The rate shown is our lower option; the pricing page lists the other.
The other three pairs work the same way: the KREAM price for your size, plus ₩3,000 KREAM delivery, plus shipping by weight, plus the service fee.
Ordering more than one pair: shipping is charged on total weight, so you can submit several pairs, wait for them all to arrive at our Korea warehouse and send them as one parcel. Two pairs weighing about 6 lb together would cost ₱2,520 to forward (₱620 + ₱380 × 5), or ₱1,260 a pair. Consolidating saves the first-pound difference; most of the cost is per pound, so it does not shrink much further.
Proxy shopping or ordering yourself? Here, only one works
Buy&Ship usually offers two routes: proxy shopping, where we place the order for you, or ordering yourself and sending the parcel to our overseas warehouse for forwarding. For this collection, both places that sell it are closed to overseas shoppers, so ordering yourself is not an option:
| Proxy shopping (we order for you) | Order yourself + forwarding | |
|---|---|---|
| Converse Korea (3 of 4 sold out) | We can check whether your size is still listed | Requires Korean identity verification, which overseas shoppers cannot complete |
| KREAM (all 4 available) | We place the order and receive it at our Korea warehouse | No overseas accounts or addresses, so you cannot order directly |
| Korean-language pages and sizing | Send the link and your size; no Korean needed | You would need to read the Korean checkout and size labels yourself |
| Delivery to the Philippines | Forwarded from our Korea warehouse to your door | Also forwarded, but only once you have managed to buy |
The barrier is at the point of purchase, in the account and identity checks, not in the shipping. That is why proxy shopping is the practical way to buy this collection.
Before you order
Confirm your size first
Both Converse Korea and KREAM list sizes in millimetres (for example 250). Check the size guide on the product page before ordering. Converse Korea sells these limited pairs as no-exchange items (returns only), so double-check your size before you submit.
KREAM prices move
- Give your exact size; the same model can be priced very differently from one size to the next
- KREAM asks change with demand, so the prices in this article are a snapshot from 28 September
- Your final price is the one confirmed when your proxy shopping order is processed
Check the restrictions page
Before you order, check the prohibited items page for the current list for your market.
FAQ
Q1: Can I buy the ZO&FRIENDS x Converse sneakers in the Philippines?
A: The collection was released in Korea, through Converse Korea’s online store and KREAM. If you do come across a listing from a local store or reseller in the Philippines, compare its price with the Korean prices above, including shipping, before deciding.
Q2: Why not just order from Converse Korea?
A: Two reasons. Three of the four pairs have sold out there, and the fourth is down to sizes 220 and 230. And even where stock remains, the store sells these limited pairs only to members with Korean identity verification, which is separate from whether it can deliver abroad.
Q3: What is KREAM, and is it safe to buy there?
A: KREAM is Korea’s largest sneaker resale marketplace, similar to StockX or GOAT. Sellers list their own pairs and KREAM inspects each one before it goes to the buyer, with a 100% authenticity guarantee and triple compensation if a fake is found. Because prices are set by sellers, they move with demand, unlike a fixed retail price.
Q4: I don’t read Korean. Can I still use proxy shopping?
A: Yes. Find the pair on KREAM, copy the page link, and send it to us with your exact size. You do not need to read Korean.
Q5: How is the total cost worked out?
A: Total cost = the shoes (KREAM price for your size) + KREAM delivery within Korea + the proxy shopping service fee + shipping from Korea. Forwarding from the Korea warehouse starts at ₱620 for the first pound and ₱380 for each additional pound; the pricing page lists the second option. Shipping is charged on the weight measured at our warehouse; the pricing page has the current rates.
Q6: Can I order several pairs at once?
A: Yes. One proxy shopping order can include up to 10 items from the same website. Shipping is charged on total weight, so pairs sent together share the first-pound charge.
