Kasina is the magic of a chaotic Seoul, made of noises, frenzy, energy, young and always more fashion. This Korean reality has been hosting for a couple of years the Seoul fashion week, a week where the best of the Eastern culture walks on the catwalk and on the street, granting streetstyle shots that can't go unnoticed.
One of the most interesting worlds in this city is without a doubt Kasina, a concept store that made streetwear its mission, mixing different brands and inspirations, but blending them and prensenting them in a refined and polished way. Born in 1997 as a skate store in Busan, it can now boast 6 different stores in the peninsula and a Instagram profile with 53.2k followers.
And what can happen if a trend setter brand like Kasina join forces with another lifestyle, contemporary and fashion label like Converse? A collaboration without precedent.
Skate is the main topic of this partenrship, along with that playfulness that has always distinguished these two brands. Chuck 70 Ox and One Star were the blank canvas to work on to spread the Kasina touch, with the opposition between leather graphic and contrast stitching. The detail that stands out is undoubtly the "女", the Hanja font that symbolizes the name of the brand, along with the year of the establishment, "1997".
Both sneakers feature black and white nuances, with a transparent sole and the Converse Star in the middlle.
