The Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 “Wong Ang – Grey” is a collaboration between the South Korean based outfit and Nike on a collection of colorways of the retro running shoe inspired by Wong Ang—which means the unity of people in the Korean language. The two-shoe collection tells the story of the traditional Korean custom that involves Wong Ang Ducks, a set of carved wooden ducks given to newlywed couples. As for the shoe’s design, a combination of materials rendered in light and dark shades of grey are found on the upper. Specifically, a dark grey faux pony hair textile can be found on the eyelet panel, mid-panel, collar, and heel. The mudguard is constructed in grey hairy suede. The hues of green and blue on the shoe’s upper evoke the duck’s natural surroundings. Overall, the colors and materials used on the “Wong Ang” Air Max 1 by Kasina are a tribute to traditional Korean culture. Release date: June 8, 2022
