Patta and Nike are back with yet another exciting collaboration, proving once again that their partnership is as strong as ever. Following their running-themed capsule earlier this year, featuring the Air Huarache Plus, and the celebration of Patta’s 20th anniversary with a revisit to the iconic Air Max 1 “Chlorophyll,” the duo is ready to introduce a fresh take on the Air Max 90.
This latest project draws inspiration from the successful Air Max 1 “Waves” collection, which debuted in 2021. For this upcoming release, the Patta x Nike Air Max 90 features a striking new black, wave-shaped mudguard—a nod to the design that made their previous collaboration so popular. The sneaker is dressed in a silver upper, complemented by touches of black and blue, while off-white accents on the midsole add contrast. Patta’s branding in blue can also be seen on the tongue tag, further adding to the sleek aesthetic.
With the Air Max 90 turning 35 next year, this collaboration feels like a fitting tribute to the timeless silhouette. While details are still under wraps, the preview suggests that this could be one of the most anticipated drops for both Patta and Nike fans.
At the time of writing, no official release date has been announced for the Patta x Nike Air Max 90 “Waves” edition. However, it’s expected to drop sometime next year. Keep an eye out for updates and official images as the release date approaches. The kicks will likely be available via Nike SNKRS and select retailers worldwide.
Founded in 2004 by Edson Sabajo and Guillaume “Gee” Schmidt in Amsterdam, Patta began as a passion project born out of a love for sneakers, streetwear, and hip-hop culture. Initially a store selling exclusive items they collected on their travels, Patta quickly evolved into a globally recognised streetwear brand. Known for its bold designs and strong collaborations, Patta has worked with some of the biggest names in fashion and sportswear, including Nike, ASICS, and New Balance. Over the years, Patta has maintained its strong roots in Amsterdam’s culture while expanding its influence worldwide, becoming a favourite among sneakerheads and streetwear aficionados alike.
With over a decade of collaborations under their belt, the ongoing Patta x Nike partnership is a testament to their shared creativity, consistently delivering iconic releases that celebrate both street culture and sport. This latest Air Max 90 release is set to continue that legacy.
