FAQs

What does the Wong-Ang Duck symbolize?

In Korean culture, Wong-Ang Ducks (Mandarin Ducks) are traditionally gifted to newlyweds as a symbol of peace, fidelity, and enduring love.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these are not waterproof. They are constructed with leather, suede, and faux horsehair, which can be damaged by excessive moisture.

How do I clean the faux horsehair material?

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the faux horsehair. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as this can damage the material.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is icy and semi-translucent, revealing a geometric pattern on the bottom of the midsole. It provides traction and visual interest.

What is the significance of the collaboration?

This collaboration between Nike and Kasina celebrates Kasina's 25th anniversary and draws inspiration from traditional Korean wedding customs and symbols of good fortune.

Can I wear these for athletic activities?

While they feature Nike Air Max cushioning for comfort, these trainers are primarily designed as a lifestyle and collectible item, not for intense athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Fading of color on suede or leather

Minimize exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause fading. Store in a cool, dry place away from light when not in use.

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can occasionally happen with new shoes. Try flexing the shoe or wearing it for a few more hours to break it in. Ensure no debris is trapped between sole layers.

Difficulty with the wooden lace lock

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the lock. If the fit is too tight, you may need to slightly loosen the laces around the lock area.
