No stranger to footwear collaborations, Korean streetwear gods Kasina will be bringing their charisma to two Nike Dunk Lows for Fall 2020.
Having previously worked with Reebok, adidas, New Balance, Vans and Puma, this will be the first time the label has worked with Nike, although they did dabble with the Nike-owned Converse back in 2018. The two colorways of the Dunk Kasina both reference travel through Korea.
The Neptune green colorway explicitly pulls from the signage that lines the Gyeongbu Expressway, the main highway between Busan and Seoul. During the mid-’80s, the same period the Dunk was introduced, Seoul experienced a population boom. This growth, symbolized by travel across Korea’s highways, underpins the Kasina journey. “Busan” and “Seoul” are written on the left and right heel tabs respectively.
Similarly, the industrial blue colorway draws inspiration from ’80s Korean transport. It mirrors the look and feel of Seoul’s vintage buses, down to a unique hangtag that reimagines the steering wheel. “Kasina” is written on the tongue of both shoes, and its logo appears embroidered on the heel and inside the tongue tag. Additionally, both shoes are packaged with custom tissue prints inspired by roadsigns to round out the story.
The Dunk Kasina in Neptune green releases September 18 exclusively at Kasina. The industrial blue colorway is available on September 25 at Kasina and Nike SKNRS in Asia.
