Jovani Hernandez Patta and Nike can do no wrong. Since the 2000s, the duo has reimagined several heritage running models. Recently, pictures of an unconfirmed sample have surfaced via social media, suggesting the partnership will bring forth a project under the “nike fi impact 2 wolf grey paint colors blue kiss” banner.
Lover of all-things-Air Max, Amsterdam’s Patta has opted for lifestyle makeovers of Tinker Hatfield’s iconic silhouette from 1987. In recent history, however, the label has promoted its Patta Running Team more, aiming to encourage close friends and followers from afar to exercise and challenge themselves. Co-founder Edson Sabajo has led the initiative since 2010, which admits to not placing so much emphasis on fast finishes as it does “having fun.”
At quick glance, the newly-surfaced Patta-branded shoe resembles Nike’s Air Huarache Trainer 94, a classic design that hasn’t seen to much retro action since its debut. Mesh and neoprene construction divvy up base layers while a series of leather panels are overlaid atop the lighter and more breathable materials. Lockdown straps connect medial and lateral sides, indulging in a punchy pink that would fit in perfect with Hatfield’s Air Huarache designs of the ’90s. A special, never-before-seen “By Patta” emblem replaces traditional branding on the top of the tongue, afore a red-colored “X” and black panther graphic as well. Pull tabs at the heel also enjoy retro flair, but components underfoot fast-forward to the modern age. Interestingly enough, the midsole and outsole setup is directly borrowed from the Pegasus 40 running shoe. A beloved daily trainer, the sneaker has emerged in dozens of styles over the past year. Soon enough, however, it’ll be replaced Nike’s Pegasus 41, which is rumored to deliver a visual and technology update to the running line. If the sample is genuine, it’s strange that Patta would use “old” tooling. Then again, it’s possible the shoe was part of a scrapped project originally intended for 2023.
Enjoy in-hand photography of the pair ahead. If the shoe – or something similar – releases, it’ll likely hit the Nike SNKRS nike free 5.0 women 2014 medium mint shoes 2017.
