Nike Air Max 1 Kasina Won-Ang Orange

The Nike Air Max 1 Kasina Won-Ang Orange with style code DQ8475-800 is a storytelling collab that links the iconic 1987 runner to Korean culture and Kasina’s 25th anniversary. Inspired by traditional “Won-Ang” (mandarin) ducks, which symbolise unity and good fortune, the sneaker blends rich materials and colours with subtle heritage details. Released in June 2022, the Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 Won-Ang Orange quickly became one of the most sought-after Air Max 1 collaborations thanks to its mix of premium craft, bold colour blocking and cultural references. With its visible Air unit, layered upper and unique duck branding, the Nike Air Max 1 Kasina Won-Ang Orange DQ8475-800 is a true centrepiece for any Air Max rotation.

Colorway: Orange / Green / Blue / Off White

The Nike Air Max 1 Kasina Won-Ang Orange is built on a premium brown leather toe box that sets a warm, earthy base for the design. Around the front of the shoe runs a rust-toned orange suede mudguard, while the rear section of the mudguard and heel panel switch to a deeper burgundy shade for extra depth and contrast. The midfoot features blue pony-hair or faux-horsehair quarter panels, adding a luxurious, furry texture that stands out against the smoother leathers. Dark teal or green accents on the side panels and heel tab tie into the official Orange/Green/Blue-Off White colourway and echo the natural tones of Korean wooden furniture and traditional screens that inspired the project. Off-white and cream hits on the tongue, collar and midsole keep the palette balanced and highlight the sculpted Air Max 1 lines, while mini floral Swoosh details on the mudguard soften the look with a subtle graphic touch. At the heel, embroidered mandarin ducks complete the “Won-Ang” story, turning the sneaker into a wearable tribute to Korean craft and symbolism.

How does the Nike Air Max 1 Kasina Won-Ang Orange fit?

The Nike Air Max 1 Kasina Won-Ang Orange fits true to size; retailers specifically recommend choosing your regular Nike or Air Max 1 size. The combination of leather toe box, suede mudguard and textured pony-hair panels creates a structured upper that locks in the midfoot while leaving standard room in the toe box. Underfoot, the classic Air Max 1 midsole with visible Air unit in the heel delivers familiar cushioning that feels comfortable straight out of the box. If you have very wide feet or sit between sizes and prefer a more relaxed fit, going half a size up can add a bit of extra space, but for most wearers true to size offers the best balance between a secure feel and all-day comfort on the Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 Won-Ang Orange DQ8475-800.
