Amsterdam’s Patta is once again reshaping Nike heritage through its own design lens, this time by reworking the classic Air Max 90 with a twist that merges archival attitude and modern craftsmanship. While the silhouette remains intact, the details tell a richer story.
This collaborative pair features a muted but layered mix of Light Smoke Grey, Burnt Sienna, and off-white Phantom tones, brought to life through a carefully curated material palette.
Mesh underlays, tumbled leather swooshes, and soft suede overlays give the shoe an elevated tactile quality, but it’s the wavy mudguard, a signature hallmark from Patta’s famed Air Max 1 projects, that signals this is no ordinary 90.
The fluid, undulating edge flows along the lower half of the shoe, introducing motion to an otherwise structured build.
Hits of Burnt Sienna on the eyestay and heel badge add a vintage warmth, while a glossy black Swoosh injects contrast without interrupting the neutral harmony.
Underfoot, a cream-tinted midsole and gum outsole round out the lifestyle-ready vibe, while visible Air cushioning keeps performance in the DNA.
