UPDATE 8/10/25: According to @brandon1an on X, two Patta x Nike Air Max 1 colorways are expected to release in Spring 2026. One comes in “White/Hyper Crimson-Pure Platinum” and the other in “Hyper Crimson/Black-Pure Platinum.” No images have surfaced yet, but more details are expected later this year.

Original Story 7/30/25:
Patta and Nike might be teaming up once more, on an updated version of the Air Max 1 ’87, which is set to release in Spring/Summer 2026. This comes not long after the announcement of Patta’s Air Max Dn8 project, but this alleged drop will go one step further in Nike’s archives.

According to reliable source @bubblekoppe, the Amsterdam-based label is set to revive the OG-style Air Max 1, steering away from the modern Big Bubble variation. Creative directors Edson Sabajo and Guillaume “Gee” Schmidt are said to be fans of the vintage design, not unlike previous Patta drops like the 2009 “Chlorophyll” and the highly sought after “Waves” series.

Although the Big Bubble tooling has been receiving a lot of attention from Nike recently, there has always been a strong preference for the OG ’87 model amongst Air Max collectors. That is what this potential collaboration is expected to play off on. The duo will likely come in a minimal “White/Hyper Crimson/Pure Platinum” palette, a safe yet effective combination.

If true, the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 ’87 would be one of the most anticipated drops of 2026, as the two labels have consistently proven to be a great match in recent years. Both are known for producing sneakers of cultural value, that transcend hype culture.

The drop is set to be available in Spring 2026 on the Patta website, select retailers and Nike.com.
