Towards the latter half of 2020, Patta began teaming with an extensive roster of brands. With names the likes of Reebok and Vans, the Amsterdam-based imprint offered up Pan-African Club Cs, script-heavy classics, and some standout runners. And now, for the very first month of the new year, we’re already set to see a collaborative New Balance 991, one hued in a Spring-appropriate palette.
In terms of construction, the upper exhibits NB’s usual penchant for premium quality. Suedes wrap throughout in visually evident luxury, colored with a muted pink shade that directly contrasts the earth tones used on previously released collaborations. Underneath, the foundation builds of a grey mesh, and when paired with the matching laces and tongues, the offering reminds of the Boston footwear label’s most signature color scheme. Reflective Ns do well to continue such a connection, while the embroidered “Patta” text and natural trims do their best to set it apart.
Grab a detailed look at these right here, and as reported by certain retailers, a release should be coming on January 29th.
