The Wave Returns: Patta x Nike Air Max 1 "White Hyper Crimson" Release Info

The iconic Patta "Wave" series is officially back, and the upcoming Nike Air Max 1 "White Hyper Crimson" might just be the cleanest iteration to date.

While we do not have a concrete release date locked in just yet, the sudden arrival of official Nike images guarantees that this drop is right around the corner. Serving as the direct follow-up to the recently released and highly successful "Hyper Crimson" pair, this brighter alternative is priced at $150 (Style Code: II7055-100). Here is a detailed breakdown of everything you need to know to secure this highly coveted collaboration.

Design Breakdown: Crisp and Classic

Patta has mastered the art of subtly tweaking the Air Max 1, and this colorway relies on a flawless, ultra-wearable palette that lets the unique structural changes shine.

• The Upper: The base of the sneaker is constructed from a breathable, light grey mesh. This is overlaid with smooth, premium light grey leather on the mid-panels and heel.
• The Wave: The defining feature of the collaboration—the redesigned, wavy mudguard—is executed in a stark, crisp white leather, wrapping around the entire shoe and featuring the signature embroidered mini-Swoosh on the lateral toe.
• The Accents: To break up the neutral base, vibrant "Hyper Crimson" (orange) provides a massive pop of energy on the lateral Swoosh, the top eyelets, and the Nike Air branding on the heel. The co-branded "Patta Air Max" tongue tag also features this striking crimson hue.
• The Tooling: A pre-yellowed, "Sail" colored midsole and matching laces give the shoe a perfect vintage touch. Underneath, the outsole features a tri-color mix of grey, white, and a bright splash of Hyper Crimson near the toe.

Hype Check: The Cleaner, The Crazier

Market Demand 
The previous "Hyper Crimson" colorway sold out instantly and currently commands a respectable premium over retail on secondary markets. However, historically in the sneaker world, exceptionally clean, white-based colorways tend to draw even higher demand because they are infinitely easier to style. If you miss out on release day, expect to pay a significant aftermarket price for these.

Release Strategy: Be Prepared

• Where to Buy: Do not expect a wide array of boutique raffles for this release. If the drop follows the exact same playbook as the previous colorway, this will be highly exclusive. The primary release will likely happen directly via the Patta webstore. Following that, we anticipate a very limited drop (potentially in the form of a Shock Drop or SNKRS Pass) on the Nike SNKRS App.
• Sizing: Like standard Air Max 1 models, we recommend sticking true to size for the perfect fit.
• Price: $150 USD.

Conclusion

The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 "White Hyper Crimson" is a flawless addition to one of the best collaborative series in modern sneaker history. By letting the wavy architecture speak for itself against a clean white and grey backdrop, Patta has delivered an absolute essential for any Air Max enthusiast.
