The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 ‘87 Waves Pack is making waves again with the announcement of its return this Spring 2026. The iconic collaboration is known for its historical influence on sneaker culture, and the new edition once again features Hyper Crimson—a powerful color that reflects the national identity of the Netherlands and its deep connection to football and street music.
The collection features two versions with the signature wave mudguard, which has become the hallmark of the series. The first pair features a Pure Platinum base that allows the bold crimson wave and black Swoosh to stand out. Meanwhile, the second design is more subdued, using white and platinum tones combined with a multi-colored Swoosh for a more artistic counterpoint. By returning to the Air Max 1 silhouette, Patta solidifies the foundation of their global legacy.
Beyond design, this collaboration carries a personal and cultural story. Each pair includes a gold bracelet with Nike branding and a Suriname flag, in homage to the origins of Patta's founders. With this detail, the “Waves” Pack becomes more than just a shoe—it's a statement of identity, culture, and emotion. With the return of the wave, it proves that collaborations with true meaning are the ones that stand the test of time.
