Fifteen years after its initial release, the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Chlorophyll was re-released in September 2024 to the delight of Air Max 1 fans.
If you're not familiar with Patta, it's an iconic Dutch shop that reinvented streetwear in Amsterdam and has built a worldwide reputation over the years.
Its various collaborations with brands such as Stüssy, Vans, Converse, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike & many more make it a fashion reference today.
In case you didn't know, the Nike Air Max 1 is one of the most popular sneaker models in the Netherlands.
The country's history of releases and heats has forged a strong association and love for Tinker Hatfield's 1987 silhouette.
After the first 5 collaborations in 2009 with Patta, and the 2 others with local artist Parra (in 2005 and 2010), it would be hard to do otherwise.
The return of Patta x Nike Air Max 1 'Chlorophyll' is therefore far from a simple re-release.
More than a decade later, it reaffirms the influence of Patta (and more broadly of the Netherlands) on the world of fashion and sneakers.
Once in hand, the release does not disappoint. Very faithful to the original version, the pair is of excellent quality in terms of both materials and finish.
Patta made sure to reuse the same chlorophyll-green denim fabric as in 2009. The upper includes premium mesh and leather.
Co-branding can be found on the tongue patch, while the insole has been updated to reflect the 20 euro bill. A special box encloses the whole with the celebration of the shop's 20th anniversary.
Last but not least, you can feel that the shaping has been meticulously taken care of on this release and that the expertise of the Netherlands has not been lacking.
Where some GR releases have banana shapes and coarse cut-outs, the latest AM1 'Chlorophyll' has an elongated shape with a forward-pointing tip. As for the top cut, it's a refined toe shape that AM1 fans will love.
If you're still undecided, enjoy the on-foot photos of this 2024 must-have.

The resale market price remains very reasonable at the time of writing (200€-220€). This will undoubtedly increase with time.
