Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Dutch boutique Patta, Nike & the famous Dutch brand offer us a re-edition of the Nike Air Max 1 'Chlorophyll', one of the most coveted and iconic Air Max 1 collaborations of all time.
Established in 2004 by two young Surinamese hip-hop culture enthusiasts, Patta opened its doors in the heart of Amsterdam.
The word Patta comes from the Surinamese word 'Pata', meaning shoe, with the double T adopted for universal pronunciation.
Passionate about music, fashion, sneakers and travel, 2 founders Edson Sabajo and Guillaume 'Gee' Schmidt will make this new store a center of attention in the country and around the world, elevating the Dutch streetwear scene.
First released on the occasion of their 5th anniversary in September 2009, the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 'Chlorophyll' marks the very first collaboration between the Swoosh brand and the Dutch label.
It will be the first in a series of 5 legendary Nike Air Max 1s: Chlorophyll, Denim Corduroy, Purple Denim, Lucky Green & Parra 'Cherrywood'.
To this day, this series remains one of the most iconic and beloved by the sneaker community.
The main idea behind the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 'Chlorophyll' can be summed up in one word: 'Dopeness', said Masta Lee, who was the footwear designer at the time.
The green color, also known as 'Patta Green', was the signature color of the logo at the time.
For the rest, the design simply pays homage to the 1987 OG colors, retaining the same colorblocking, gray overlays and mesh on the toe box and tongue.
This 2024 re-edition remains very close to the 2009 original, since Patta has used the same Chlorophyll green denim fabric.
New features include a sole inspired by the 20-euro bill, a direct reference to the original 5 guilder-inspired sockliner.
Finally, the shoe comes in a special box illustrating Patta's 20 years of existence.
The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Chlorophyll will be released exclusively on the Patta website on September 13th at a price of €160.
An SNKRS release is planned for a little later.
