A few days back, we brought you a sneak peek of a new Parra Nike Air Max 1 collaboration that was initially thought to be a Patta creation. It turned out to be a Parra, further adding to many people’s confusion between French artist Parra and Dutch retailer Patta. Now that that’s hopefully all cleared up, we present a look at an actual Patta Air Max 1 collaboration that will be dropping as a Quickstrike some time after the green and purple AM1s that we have already shown you.  This colorway features a nice blend of rich colors and materials, using sections of corduroy, denim and suede splashed with varied shades of blue, green and red. Specific release info on these is yet to be announced, but for now, you can check out some more pics after the jump. Photos via MusicSkins.com.

Update: These are Parra Air Max 1, not Patta as we previous wrote.

At this point, Dutch sneaker heavyweights Patta are no strangers to Nike collaborations or the Air Max 1. They have recently revealed two different colorways of the Air Max 1, adding some fresh shades of green and purple canvas to the shoe’s classic color blocking for a new look. Now, thanks to the recent Patta interview feature on Complex, we get a brief, but enticing preview of another Air Max 1 collabo in the works between Patta and Nike. As you can see, this new version sports a solid burgundy suede upper with a white midsole, light blue accents and a multi-colored outsole. There isn’t much else known about this project at the moment, but stay tuned for more news as soon as it breaks.

The beet red Nike Air Max 1 is a good example of a shoe so perfect, it’s cruel that Nike only released it for ‘women’ (read:smaller size run).  If you can relate to your author’s pain, Nike iD might have the remedy.  Not only is the ‘Eighty-Seven’ up and ready to be customized, but you can put pretty much whatever coloured speckles on whatever coloured base on whichever parts of the shoe you want!  Peep some more designs after the jump, then head to the Nike iD site to design your own.

Nike and Patta seem to be collaborating on not one but two different Air Max 1 Premium sneakers that are hitting retailers this month. The first we showed you was the White and Chlorophyll colorway that is a Quickstrike release at select Nike Sportswear accounts worldwide. This second colorway is similar to the Chlorophyll in that the materials used are almost identical however instead of Chlorophyll, Purple is used as a replacement. The team at Patta wanted to pay homage to the original Air Max sneaker from Nike that was released in 1987 and designed by the infamous Tinker Hatfield but make it more “street-friendly”, thus Purple Denim, canvas, and nubuck was used while keeping the color blocking similar to the original Air Max 1. These White and Purple Nike x Patta Air Max 1 Premium TZ sneakers are available now exclusively at Patta in the Netherlands.

While a lot of collectors focus on the Air Jordan, Air Force 1 and Dunk aspects of the Nike catalog, the Air Max line is just as beloved by many sneakerheads. Although many of these styles have been around for the last two decades, Nike still finds new ways to keep the classics fresh. Sometimes it’s just new color schemes or materials, but lately many OG models have been updated with new technology like in the case of the Air Maxim 1 and Air Max 90 Current. Here we have a look at some Air Max models that Nike Sportswear will be dropping next spring, and as you can see, there is a nice mix of new and old, as well as some eye-catching new colorways.

We have already previewed some of these kicks, but now you can get a broader idea of what will be coming next year. There will be three new colorways of the classic Air Max 1, as well as the new Torch edition of the Air Maxim 1. Joining the AM1’s will be two new Air Max 90’s sporting a combination of materials on the uppers and finally, a crazy new version of the Air Max 90 Current that sports a Moire pattern and a bold color scheme. Keep reading for a closer look at the upcoming collection and be on the lookout for specific release info. Photos via UrbanIndustry.
