Patta and Nike are back at it—like your favorite duo who just can’t stop making hits. After the “Sapphire” and “Cyber” colorways, the Patta x Nike Air Max 90 Waves returns in a smooth “Black/Particle Grey” finish.

While it may look like your standard Air Max 90 from afar, this version hides some stylish secrets. Patta’s famous wavy mudguard adds motion, drama, and just the right amount of sneaker flair. The black perforated leather looks sleek, while the grey mesh adds cool contrast.

Cream laces bring a vintage vibe, and that crisp white Swoosh? It cuts through the darkness like a flashlight on a midnight snack run. The branding gets a twist too—lenticular logos shift and shine depending on your angle, adding extra fun. A gum rubber outsole and two-tone midsole finish things off nicely.

This playful twist on a classic sneaker silhouette proves Patta and Nike know how to remix history. If you’re a fan of Air Max, Waves, or anything remotely stylish, you don’t want to miss this drop.

Both styles showcase textured wavy black mudguards inspired by the original Patta Air Max 1s and follow classic Air Max color blocking with shades of grey, black and white. Patta tongue labels confirm the collaboration, completing the look.
