Kasina x Nike Air Max 1
When I first pulled these and the orange pair out of the box, I was honestly blown away. From the packaging, to the attention to detail, and overall quality, this was a beautiful experience.
Materials: the materials & design choices on this sneaker is executed beautifully. If you were to imagine a duck, this shoe looks identical. The toe cap is a grey suede which is nice to touch while also having a nice color change while moving across it. On the suede you have an embroidered mini swoosh with a flower torwards the end. One of the most notable features is the faux fur on both side panels which is similar to what was used on the chunky dunky giving it that realistic look. The rest of the sneaker consists of the this blue & grey tumbled leather that feels nice & durable to touch. Lastly, Kasina carried the same exposed tongue & leather heel collar from the dunk to the AM1
Comfort/Sizing: the air max 1 is one of my favorite silhouettes. It has a classy look to it that I love & would prefer to wear if I were headed somewhere nice. On foot, it has a nice mixture of firmness while also giving you a nice squishy support that makes these a very easy choice to wear all day without any discomfort. In terms of sizing, I grabbed these in a size 8 and I personally feel like these fit me perfectly.
Overall Opinion: Kasina had an incredible execution overall. I truly feel that this will be a classic collab years from now. The story, combined with the design, & all the little details made this feel like a very special Collab for me. From opening the box, to throwing on foot, it was a very beautiful presentation. If you're on the fence, I would honestly grab these. I truly doubt you will be disappointed.
If you made it this far, thank you for taking time out of your weekend to read my thoughts on this sneaker and I appreciate the continued support
