FAQs

What is the significance of the 'Won-Ang' in the shoe's name?

The 'Won-Ang' refers to a traditional Korean wedding custom where carved wooden ducks are gifted to newlywed couples, symbolizing good fortune and a happy marriage. The shoe features subtle embroidery nodding to this tradition.

What materials are used in the Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 SP?

The shoe features a premium teal tumbled leather upper, dark grey faux horsehair overlays, and light grey suede mudguards.

How do I clean the faux horsehair material?

Gently brush the faux horsehair with a soft, dry brush. For more persistent dirt, a lightly damp cloth can be used carefully, avoiding saturation.

What is the cultural inspiration behind this collaboration?

This collaboration celebrates South Korean boutique Kasina's 25th Anniversary and draws inspiration from Korean wedding customs, particularly the Wong-Ang ducks, and colors associated with good fortune in Korean culture.

Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?

While the shoe features Nike's Air Max cushioning for comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and collector's item, not for high-impact athletic activities.

What does the geometric pattern on the outsole represent?

The geometric pattern on the icy, semi-translucent outsole adds a unique visual detail to the design, complementing the overall aesthetic of the shoe.

Where can I find information on other available sizes?

This guide focuses on the 'Won-Ang - Grey - UK 6' variant. Information on other sizes can often be found through retailer listings or sneaker marketplaces.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather or suede

Minor creasing is normal with wear. To minimize, avoid bending the shoe excessively when not worn. Use shoe trees for storage.

Dirt on faux horsehair

Gently brush the material with a soft, dry brush. For stubborn dirt, use a lightly damp cloth, ensuring not to saturate the material.

Discoloration of outsole

The semi-translucent outsole can show wear. Clean regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.

Suede becoming matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and texture of the suede. Brush in one direction for best results.
