Patta: An Amsterdam Brand and Store
What kind of brand is Patta?
Patta is an Amsterdam streetwear brand founded by Edson Sabajo and Guillaume “Gee” Schmidt. According to the brand’s official website, they opened a sneaker store on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal in 2004 and later launched their own clothing line. The name comes from Sranan Tongo, also known as Surinamese: “patta” means shoe, reflecting the founders’ Surinamese roots.
What is Patta’s connection to Nike?
They have a long-standing collaboration. Nike says the two brands have worked together more than 10 times, including on six versions of the Air Max 1. Patta also runs the Patta Running Team and the Patta Foundation, which focuses on cultural education for young people. Find other models from this Nike line in the Air Max.
Patta x Nike collaborations in the
Air Max 1: The Air Max 1 Patta 20th Anniversary Chlorophyll is a reissue of the 2009 model, released by Nike and Patta on September 13, 2024, to mark the Amsterdam brand’s 20th anniversary. Nike says the new version uses the same material as the original, and the Chlorophyll colorway is complemented by Matte Silver. Some details have changed: the tongue features a special Patta label, and the insole shows a 20-euro banknote instead of a Dutch guilder. Gee Schmidt compared the original Chlorophyll design to a debut album.
Air Max 90 Waves: The 2025 Sapphire and Cyber colorways bring the Waves motif, known from the Air Max 1 series, to the Air Max 90. According to Highsnobiety, the side panel, usually made of solid suede, has a wavy shape inspired by the movement of water. The Cyber version stands out with neon accents, while Sapphire features deep purple tones.
Air Max Plus FC Barcelona: The Culers del Món model comes from the October 2023 collection by Nike, FC Barcelona, and Patta. According to Nike, the upper and midfoot plate are covered in a gradient of Deep Royal Blue and Noble Red, the club crest is placed on the dubrae, and the lace tips reference the stripes of the Senyera, the flag of Catalonia. Highsnobiety adds that the Culers del Món text on the insole is a nod to Barça fans, and there is a Patta patch on the tongue. Nike links this collaboration to Patta’s long history with football jerseys and the decades-long exchange of coaches and players between the Netherlands and Barcelona.
Patta fit and sizing
All the shoes in the collection are Nike models, so it’s best to choose your size based on the recommendations for the underlying silhouette. On the Air Max Plus page, Nike says the model runs small and recommends ordering half a size up. Sneaker sites say the Air Max 1 fits true to size, like most Nike sneakers, but is slightly narrow, so those with wider feet may want to go up half a size. The Air Max 90 is rated similarly: true to size, a narrow fit, and half a size up for wider feet.
