After the huge success of previous Patta x Nike collaborations – think of the iconic Air Max 1 ‘Wave’ – the Dutch streetwear label returns with a new wave of heat. This time the Air Max 90 takes center stage, and they do so with two stylish colorways: the ‘Particle Grey Gum’ and the ‘Black Gum’. Both silhouettes drop on Friday, June 27, 2025, and as always, they are expected to sell out in no time.

From Air Max 1 to Air Max 90: same vibe, new silhouette
Where previous Patta x Nike drops mainly focused on the Air Max 1, it is now the Air Max 90’s turn to carry the signature ‘Wave’ design. The characteristic wavy mudguard, which first appeared on the AM1, is also found here – and how. It gives the sneaker that typical Patta touch: unique, dynamic, and recognizable to the community.
Both colorways combine classic elements with contemporary flair, making it clear that Patta is far from finished with their sneaker story.
The details of the ‘Particle Grey Gum’
The Patta x Nike Air Max 90 ‘Particle Grey Gum’ comes in a fresh combination of light grey mesh, soft suede overlays, and contrasting beige details. The black Swoosh provides balance, while the rubber gum sole gives the sneaker a retro edge. This colorway is a perfect choice for those who love neutral tones with subtle flair.
The ‘Black Gum’: understated with an edge
The ‘Black Gum’ version opts for more contrast. A deep black base is combined with cream-colored accents, including the iconic Wave mudguard. Here too, the gum sole adds an old school touch, while the dark upper creates a more edgy, statement-worthy look. This version feels a bit tougher and more outspoken – perfect for those who dare.
Patta's message remains strong
As always, this collection breathes the philosophy of Patta: “Patta Got Love for All.” The sneakers are supported by a collection of apparel and a strong visual campaign centered on inclusivity, creativity, and identity. The collaboration with Nike is more than a drop – it is a cultural moment.
