The relationship between Patta and Nike dates back all the way to 2006 — the very year that it teamed alongside State Magazine to curate the Dutch brand’s first sneaker collaboration in the Air Max 90 “Homegrown Grass.” And fast forward 15 years later, the two have joined hands on a plethora of models, and they’re just about getting ready to unload its newest Patta x Nike Air Max 1 “Monarch” installment.For this new design, Patta remixes the classic Tinker-made model with wavy mudguards which gives the shoes a subtle-yet-effective deviation from the original. It also is a call out to the “thematic references to the cultural shifts and enduring influence that Patta has had on its greater community and industry.” A majority of the uppers of the kicks stick to their original design cues such as the mesh underlays, nubuck overlays and forefoot Swooshes, but the tongues and insoles now feature branding from the European entity. Additionally, the kicks come packaged in a special black shoe box that has “Team Patta” written on the outside and branded tissue paper on the inside. A chain link that features Nike, Patta and a flag charms is also included with each pair.Patta’s seventh Nike collaboration is dropping drop via Patta stores, its website, and on Nike SNKRS on October 8 at 1 p.m. CET/12 p.m. BST/7 a.m EST. Select retailers will also be releasing pairs starting on October 15.In other news, Nike SB revealed a Blazer Mid “Acclimate Pack” in “Triple Black.”Click here to view full gallery at HYPEBEAST
