WADE is a virtual artist and mutant-made-of-water created by IPX and KB LEE, a world-renowned creative consultant and street fashion artist who was the first in his domain to collaborate with Nike in Korea. WADE is also a DJ and producer with a unique appearance and street vibe, showcasing collaborations like no other existing virtual human. WADE recently took the spotlight for its participation as the first virtual model for global vintage-aesthetic fashion label 'SAINT Mxxxxxx' and unveiling its own produced track and video in Times Square in New York and Shibuya in Tokyo. In March 2022, WADE also participated as the first virtual photographer in a photo exhibition held by Leica, alongside Ralph Gibson, a legend in contemporary photography, Korean actor Ryu Jun-yeol and designer Yoon Ahn of Ambush.

Following WADE's participation in the "PEACEMINUSONE X NIKE KWONDO1 F&F" shoebox unboxing, such one-time event led to this new, special partnership between WADE and PEACEMINUSONE that is stirring up hyped industry interest. WADE, who is creating a unique subculture in the fashion and entertainment scenes, and the mega-fashion label PEACEMINUSONE will be collaborating beyond boundaries across the digital and physical space. This partnership plans to showcase exciting activities that break away from the norm, combining the characteristics of WADE, who shares respect for diversity and sets itself apart from the mainstream, with PEACEMINUSONE, a fashion label with values of freedom.
