Product Information

Full details

The Nike Air Max 1 Kasina Wong-Ang Grey trainers are designed for adult males seeking a premium, culturally inspired footwear option. Their key benefit lies in the unique design that blends traditional Korean symbolism with modern sneaker aesthetics, offering both style and a story. A potential caveat is that these are a specialized release, making them a collector's item rather than a general-purpose athletic shoe. Key features include a premium leather and faux horsehair upper, unique Wong-Ang Duck embroidery, and an icy semi-translucent outsole with a geometric pattern.

FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the Nike Air Max 1 Kasina Wong-Ang Grey?

Clean the faux horsehair gently with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using excessive moisture or harsh cleaning agents.

What does the Wong-Ang Duck embroidery represent?

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Suede appearing dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Faux horsehair material snagged

Gently try to smooth the affected area with your fingers. Avoid pulling or cutting any snagged fibers, as this may cause further damage.

Discoloration of the icy outsole

Prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or intense sunlight can affect the outsole. Clean gently with a damp cloth and store away from direct light.
