Product description

The Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 Won-Ang Grey sneakers celebrate the 25th anniversary of South Korean brand Kasina, which also marks the 35th anniversary of the iconic Air Max 1. Inspired by a pair of Mandarin ducks (Won-Ang), symbolizing unity and lasting partnership—a motif that permeates every detail of this shoe, from the embroidered heel to the graphic on the transparent sole. These sneakers are for collectors and those who understand the value of premium materials and refined craftsmanship. At Aplug, you'll find authentic, verified pairs from a limited drop that will be a true investment for your wardrobe.

The upper blends several contrasting materials into a harmonious whole: thick, shaggy ponyhair in gray tones covers the panels, and soft navy tumbled leather on the side panels, while short-haired suede on the collar adds a touch of delicacy. Dense, long-haired gray nubuck on the mudguard and smooth, light sail-colored leather on the inner instep create layers of texture that are visible to the naked eye. A cream Swoosh provides a subtle contrast against the darker background, while a small floral motif on the toe box and a laser-engraved wooden dubrae on the laces are details that speak volumes about the designers' attention to detail. The heel features an intricately embroidered image of a female mandarin duck, while the translucent, light blue outsole reveals a graphic of two ducks on a pink background with the words Nike Air and "Kasina" in Korean. A cream midsole with a visible Nike Air unit in the heel complements the muted palette of grey and navy with cream accents.

These sneakers thrive on texture—they're perfect for showcasing in outfits that prioritize clean materials and minimalism. Cropped or tapered jeans, neutral-toned cargo pants, oversized puffer jackets, or classic baseball caps provide a perfect backdrop for these shoe details. The cream midsole pairs well with beige and khaki, while navy accents complement navy and traditional denim. If you decide to buy them, consider them a rotational shoe. Premium materials, especially ponytail and suede, show signs of wear more quickly, so it's worth rotating them with other pairs in your collection.

What makes the Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 Won-Ang Grey different?

  • Pony-hair in a modular structure - the hairy texture on the panels and rim adds a unique, tactile character; requiring gentle care and cleaning with a soft brush, but gives a premium, artisanal look unavailable in mass-produced models.
  • Tumbled leather on side panels – Soft, grained leather softens natural wrinkles and signs of patina, meaning the shoe improves with age without losing structural integrity.
  • Layered nubuck and suede materials – dense nubuck on the mudguard and short-grain suede on the collar create a deep, three-dimensional silhouette; each element has technical features that enhance comfort and protection for the foot.
  • Visible Nike Air unit in the heel – The classic Air-Sole cushioning system provides walking comfort and a distinctive springy feel, while visually confirming its authenticity and connection to the Air Max 1 DNA.
  • Transparent graphic outsole – the rubber outsole in a light blue shade reveals an illustration of mandarin ducks and branding; it's not just aesthetically pleasing, but also functional – gripping city asphalt and easy to clean without losing the design.
  • Wooden, laser-engraved dubrae - a unique aluminum accessory for laces; the handmade character and natural material provide a contrast to modern sneakers and emphasize the craftsmanship of the design.
  • The embroidered Won-Ang motif on the heel – a symbolic image of a mandarin duck – is a reference to the importance of collaboration; the embroidery is executed with precision, which requires special cleaning techniques, but guarantees uniqueness and a connection to the Kasina brand narrative.
  • Cream PU midsole with lightweight cushioning - the foam cushion works with the Air unit to provide a smooth ride and a vintage tone throughout the colorway; this material is durable and resistant to color change, making the shoe a collector's investment.

How to choose the size of Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 Won-Ang Grey?

The Air Max 1 typically runs true to size for a standard fit. However, with this model, it's worth considering sizing up half a size (+0.5), especially if you have a wider foot or prefer more room. The reason? Thick materials—pony hair, layered padding, and a dense nubuck mudguard—can create a slightly more form-fitting feel. If you always know you're wearing your sneakers with extra space, you can safely go up half a size; if you're between two sizes, opt for the larger size—lacing will achieve the perfect fit without the risk of tightness.
