FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the "Kiss of Death" design?

The design is inspired by CLOT founder Edison Chen's desire to bridge Eastern and Western cultures, specifically drawing from Chinese philosophies on medicine and the concept of "Chi" or spiritual energy flowing through the body, with a focus on foot pressure points.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, they are designed for wear and feature Nike Air cushioning for comfort. However, due to their collectible status and unique materials, some owners prefer to wear them for special occasions or keep them as display pieces.

How should I clean the translucent parts of the shoe?

Use a soft, damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Gently wipe the translucent areas and allow them to air dry.

What does the "Chi" concept refer to in this shoe?

"Chi" refers to the vital life force or spiritual energy that flows through the human body in traditional Chinese culture. The shoe's design highlights this by referencing foot pressure points, believed to be pathways for this energy.

Is this the original "Kiss of Death" Air Max 1?

This is a 2021 reissue of the original Nike Air Max 1 CLOT "Kiss of Death" that debuted in 2006. It aims to replicate the original design closely.

What materials are used in the Nike Air Max 1 CLOT "Kiss of Death" (2021)?

The shoe features a mix of materials including leather, faux snakeskin on the Swoosh, ostrich-textured leather on the collar, and translucent materials for the toe box and outsole.

Troubleshooting

Translucent materials becoming discolored

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat. Clean gently with a mild solution and allow to air dry completely. Consider using a protective spray designed for footwear.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Let them air dry before re-lacing the shoes.

Soles showing wear or dirt

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a sneaker cleaner and a brush, then wipe clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: Designed for adult wear, suitable for casual use. Compatibility with athletic performance depends on individual preference, though the Air Max cushioning offers support.

Care: Due to the translucent materials and premium textures, careful cleaning is recommended. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris.
