FAQs
What is the cultural significance of the Wong-Ang Ducks?
Wong-Ang Ducks are a traditional Korean symbol of marital harmony and are often gifted to newlywed couples as a wish for a lasting and prosperous marriage.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
These are lifestyle sneakers designed for comfort and style in everyday wear, not for high-impact athletic activities. They feature Air Max cushioning for comfort.
How do I clean the faux horsehair material?
Gently brush the faux horsehair with a soft brush to remove dust. Avoid wetting the material excessively, and use a damp cloth very carefully for any spot cleaning if necessary.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed with a combination of premium teal tumbled leather, dark grey faux horsehair overlays, and light grey suede mudguards.
Is this a limited edition shoe?
Yes, the Nike Air Max 1 Kasina Wong-Ang Grey is a special collaboration released to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the South Korean boutique Kasina.
What does the geometric pattern on the outsole represent?
The geometric pattern on the semi-translucent outsole is a design element intended to complement the overall aesthetic of the shoe and is not tied to a specific cultural meaning mentioned in the product description.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather and suede offer some protection, it is not recommended to wear these premium sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their materials and color.
Troubleshooting
Fading color on leather or suede
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If fading occurs, consider using a leather conditioner or suede protector spray specifically designed for the material.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is natural with leather and suede. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases. Avoid overly tight lacing.
Dirt on faux horsehair material
Use a soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush or specialized shoe brush) to gently remove loose dirt. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and brush very gently, being careful not to saturate the material.
Traction issues with the outsole
Ensure the outsole is clean from excessive dirt or debris. The geometric pattern can trap dirt, so regular cleaning will maintain grip.
