FAQs
What is the inspiration behind the Nike Air Max 1 Kasina 'WonAng Orange'?
The design is inspired by 'Wong-Ang Ducks', traditional carved wooden ducks gifted to Korean newlyweds, symbolizing love and good fortune. It also celebrates the 25th anniversary of the South Korean boutique Kasina.
What materials are used in this sneaker?
The sneaker features a premium brown tumbled leather upper, dark green faux horsehair overlays, and brown and orange suede mudguards.
How should I clean the faux horsehair material?
Use a soft brush, similar to a suede brush, to gently lift and clean the faux horsehair. Avoid excessive moisture.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While built on the comfortable Air Max 1 silhouette, this is primarily a lifestyle and collectible sneaker due to its premium materials and unique design elements. It is not intended for rigorous athletic training.
What does the 'Won-Ang' refer to?
'Won-Ang' refers to the style of carved wooden ducks that are traditionally gifted to newlywed couples in Korea, symbolizing marital harmony and good fortune.
How do I care for the semi-translucent outsole?
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage or discolor the material.
Can I replace the wooden lace lock if it gets lost?
As this is a limited edition collaboration, exact replacement lace locks may be difficult to find. Check with specialized sneaker accessory retailers or the secondary market.
Troubleshooting
Color transfer from upper to socks
This can happen with new dyed materials. Wear darker socks initially or use a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede.
Suede or horsehair texture becoming matted
Gently brush the material with a suede brush to restore its texture. Avoid getting these areas excessively wet.
Creasing on leather mudguard
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in wear.
Wooden lace lock feels loose
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the lock. If it persists, a tiny drop of wood glue can secure it, but this is a permanent modification.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For the leather, consider a leather cleaner. For suede and faux horsehair, use a suede brush or appropriate cleaning products to avoid damaging the texture.
- Outsole Care: Clean the semi-translucent outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could discolor or degrade the material.
- Lace Lock: The wooden lace lock should be handled with care. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
