Fresh off the official unveiling of their “Night Maroon” colorway, legends of the Air Max 1 collaboration Patta have teased a fourth (and likely final) colorway for 2021 – this one coming in an ultra-simple mix of grey, black, and white.
After peering through the top left corner of yesterday’s official reveal photography, it didn’t take long for Photoshop mock-ups of the projected release to the surface — including by yours truly. Though early mock-ups reverted back to the color blocking seen on the first two “Monarch” and “Noise Aqua” releases, Unions’c Chriss Gibb has proven us all wrong, revealing the sneaker today in all of its glory.
Instead of suede, the pair’s overlays arrive entirely in black leather, inclusive of the midfoot, vamp, heel, and wavy mudguard. It’s liners, tongue, and laces follow suit before a striking white Swoosh is layered on top. Grey mesh uppers reside underneath, with matching silver stitchwork at the heel and forefoot mini Swoosh wrapping up the upper. Underfoot, you’ll find sail midsoles atop a black and white rubber outsole to complete the design.
Expect to see a first full look at the pair soon, as the fourth Patta x Nike Air Max 1 “Black” is expected to release in December, with Patta confirming a drop for the 10th, and likely a global SNKRS rollout to follow.
Update // Both Patta and Nike have unveiled their official imagery for the release.
