Air Max 90 SP Patta Waves Sapphire

Nike Air Max 90 SP Patta Waves Sapphire is a reinterpretation of the classic Air Max 90 silhouette created in collaboration with the Amsterdam-based boutique Patta, featuring a reworked panel layout and a distinctive wavy trim. The design retains the proportions of the original but has been redesigned to give the silhouette a more dynamic and fluid character inspired by the movement of waves.The color scheme is based on a neutral base in shades of Particle Grey and Neutral Grey, paired with bold Sapphire accents in an intense, cool blue-violet hue. Light-colored panels provide the backdrop for a contrasting, black, wavy mudguard, which is the most recognizable element of this version. The look is complemented by Coconut Milk-colored details and a subtly shimmering Swoosh, which add an extra visual layer and highlight the texture of the materials.The upper is crafted from a combination of mesh, leather, and synthetic materials, creating a multi-layered construction with varied textures. The textile base ensures breathability, while the nubuck and leather panels stabilize the structure and reinforce critical areas. This arrangement of materials maintains a balance between the lightweight and durable construction.The midsole features a Max Air unit positioned in the rear, which provides cushioning and reduces impact during movement. The foam construction works in tandem with a rubber outsole featuring a classic waffle pattern, enhancing traction and stability on various surfaces.The design features details characteristic of the collaboration with Patta, including the wavy “Waves” side panel and a lens-shaped element that transforms the Air Max branding into the Patta logo when viewed from different angles. The overall design evolves the classic Air Max 90 construction through a distinctly altered panel layout and the distinctive visual elements of this collaboration.
