The Nike Air Max 90 Applies Patta-Like Waves To Two Mashup Variations

Coincidence or connection?

The Nike Air Max 90 Applies Patta-Like Waves To Two Mashup Variations

​​It’s officially Air Max Month. A wide celebration of “Neon,” both on the Air Max 95 and its catalog peers, started that brand holiday, while on Air Max Day proper, the Air Liquid Max will serve as 2026’s addition to the lineage.

New colorways in the family are never in short supply by any means, but it’s become evident that Beaverton has far more in store than just those high-profile bookends. Now surfacing via overseas channels is a two-pack of mashed-up colorways, split between a “Photo Blue/Cyber” and an “Infrared 23” with light blue interplay.

Though the shades differ, the blocking is identical across each Air Max 90 here, leaving the bulk of their synthetic panels to cooler shades while tacking on hi-vis contrast on the branding notes. Perhaps more eyebrow-raising is how that hardware appears: the usual rigid linework on the back tab and the front eyelet is warped and curved on these two pairs. We’d be remiss not to mention the shared DNA between the “Photo Blue/Cyber” and last year’s Patta collaboration; the “waves”-like style on these ostensible GRs only piques our interest further.

Stateside information on these Nike Air Max 90 colorways hasn’t surfaced just yet, but both are queued up for March 16th in Asia. Check out official images below and watch our Sneaker Release Dates page for updates as this story develops.
