Month: October 2021

Patta has been dropping sneaker collaborations since the beginning of 2021 as it has linked with New Balance for an earthy 991 and Vans for a colorful Sk8-Hi and Old Skool collection. However, the Dutch brand is definitely gaining more attention now for its newest collection with Nike, and release information for the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 “Noise Aqua” has surfaced.This marks the 5th time that the Netherlands imprint has lent its touch to the ever-classic Sportswear silhouette, and this makes perfect sense considering that it’s a staple amongst sneakerheads in the Amsterdam community. Aesthetically, they’re extremely similar to “Monarch” makeup as a majority of its leather and nylon upper is treated with a “Pure Platinum” hue, but they deviate with cooler accents as its titular shade dresses up the Swooshes, branding on the tongues and heels and the wave-like mudguards that make this collaboration so unique. Moreover, each pair is packaged in a collector’s box and comes with a silver plated charm bracelet which salutes Patta’s Surinamese heritage and Nike’s signature logo.Dropping alongside the shoes are a handful of apparel pieces including a matching track suit, and two tees that are adorned with Patta branding on the left side of the chest and the words “Get Familiar” on the back.The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 “Noise Aqua” is releasing via Patta on October 29th, while SNKRS and select retailers will launch on November 5. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Patta (@patta_nl)For more news in the realm of kicks, official images of the Supreme x Nike SB Dunk High “By Any Means” in “Brazil” have emerged.

In anticipation of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Siempre Familia” edition release which follows an orange and black buildup, a Dunk Low in a green and blue colorway will be joining the global launch at the end of the month. The black Air Jordan 1 Mid variation made its first debut at the beginning of October as Jordan Brand and Nike have been prepping for the upcoming Día de los Muertos festivities.While the previous designs preferred an aesthetic of abstract patterns and embroidery related to iconic elements of the holiday, the latest offering went for a full-on reptile assemblage with a scaley green faux lizard skin base filling in the toe boxes, quarters and ankle collars while black and olive green snakeskin overlays work its way from the mudguards to the eyestays and heel. A yellow red-eyed lizard latches on underneath the blue lateral Swoosh with a Latin American pattern detail matching the heel tab. The words “Siempre Familia” – which means “Always Family” – along with a skull emblem are printed on the insoles. An off white midsole outfits the design over a translucent rubber outsole to complete the final look.The Nike Dunk Low “Siempre Familia” is set to release on October 29 at select retailers and via Nike SNKRS.Elsewhere in footwear, three Nike Dunk Lows will be joining the “Next Nature” roster.
