Patta x Nike To Drop Collaborative Air Max 1 "Monarch"
Releasing alongside a film series titled ‘The Wave.’
After much speculation, Nike and Patta have officially announced their collaborative Air Max 1 sneaker.
Dubbed “Monarch,” the shoes are a reinterpretation of the OG silhouette with splashes of orange throughout. Arriving with a light gray mesh upper, the kicks feature white leather overlays and nubuck material on the wavy mudguards. The accent “Monarch” hue is spotted on the Swooshes, while Patta and Nike’s logos appear on a silver chain embellishment hanging from the lacing system.
“We’re excited to launch the Air Max 1 and The Wave as the ignition point for a more purpose-driven evolution in our partnership with Nike,” Gee Schmidt, co-founder of Patta, shared in a statement. “Product will always remain a thread of what we deliver, and together, we’re committed to developing nuanced projects and narratives that aim to truly serve and drive change for our community.” The shoes are introduced alongside a new film series titled The Wave, which is broken into four chapters exploring the concepts of freedom and creativity.
Watch The Wave below. The Air Max 1 “Monarch” will drop via Patta’s website and stores, and Nike SNKRS on October 8 at 1 p.m. CET (7 a.m. ET). A further release will follow on October 15 at select retailers.
