Nike works together with Amsterdam-based brand Patta on the collaborative Patta Air sneaker model. It celebrates the Huarache sneakers which were first launched back in 1991 as a chunky silhouette. The shoes are remixed various times and the latest by Patta features three colorways to join the Running Team capsule.
The collection is rooted in culture and the world of running as a whole. The shoes blend the classic Huarache Plus upper at the top with the Nike Pegasus at the bottom. It is also applied with premium leather materials overlaying throughout and mesh underlying for a breathable base. The closure over the forefoot is secured by a nylon webbing and the tongue is marked with the Patta Air graphic.
