Amsterdam brand Patta has put its spin on Nike’s Air Max 1 silhouette. Working with an earthy colour palette, Patta has made tasteful tweaks to the upper, implanting its classic wavy branding.

Most of you will be very familiar with the comfortable Air Max 1 and that remains unchanged here. Grab them from Nike on 15th October.

Bedowin

Nike Be-Do-Win ‘Hyper Royal’

The Nike Bedouin went under the radar when it was originally released in the ’80s. It’s an unlikely silhouette for Nike, tapping into casual wear with a few nods to sportswear. It’s returning four decades later in the ‘Hyper Royal’ colourway but there is a notable change. This release is all about being kind to the planet, putting climate change at the forefront. Be-Do-Win stands for “Be conscious of climate change, Do take action against climate change and Win the battle to prevent climate change.” This mantra carries across to the synthetic upper and cork sock liner. Nike will have them from 14th October.

Ultimately, we come up from the red clay and eventually return to it in the end – the in-between is our life.” The Gel-MC Plus silhouette first dropped in 1995 but it’s returning from the archive updated with the technology of the more recent GEL-CUMULUS® 17.
