Patta Joins the Paris Party with a Friends and Family Nike Air Max 1 Waves Collab

It’s already Friday, but the Paris Fashion Week heat isn’t done yet, and we’re not just talking about the temperature. Fresh off a train from Amsterdam, the Patta team brought out another addition to its long-running Nike Air Max 1 Waves collection. But instead of previewing a new collab pair on the runway, Patta and Nike took advantage of the curated crowd in Paris, doling out a friends and family exclusive to some carefully selected homies.

Made for Friends in France

The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Waves F&F takes after the White Hyper Crimson colorway from the collab’s fifth anniversary pack that dropped in March. Keeping the top half of the upper intact, the limited pair from Paris adds a sleek black leather panel to the wave-cut panel running along the lower portion of the shoe.

Grey mesh and leather mingle above the black waves, with Hyper Crimson on the Swoosh and Pure Platinum on the tongue, laces, sockliner, and midsole. More black is added to the tongue tag, with orange Patta co-branding popping against the contrast and more orange on the lace aglets.

Is the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Waves Friends and Family Dropping?

The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Waves Friends and Family won’t be released to the general public, so if you’re not in Paris with a pair stashed in your hotel safe, don’t count on seeing these in person. For all the latest Nike collab news, download the Sole Retriever App.
