The Nike x Patta Air Huarache is part of the broader Running Club collection, a capsule line that presents a perfect combination of Nike’s signature tech and Patta’s inimitable style. The collection is launching to celebrate 14 years of Patta Running Team. Established in 2010, the Running Team has evolved into a global collective, and it’s only natural that Patta turns to long-time collaborator, Nike to mark the occasion.
This isn’t the first time the two brands have joined forces. This is their seventh time collaborating and have released grail-status kicks like the ‘wavy’ Nike Air Max 1.
The most anticipated part of the collaboration is, of course, the shoes. Launching in three colorways, this version of the shoe is a hybrid sneaker that takes the classic Nike Huarache Plus to the next level, pairing the OG design with a Nike Pegasus sole. It’s crafted in premium leather overlays, mesh underlays with Bootie construction for a secure fit, and a closure protected by nylon webbing.
The three colorways are available to purchase from April 27 on Patta or from May 2 on Nike SNKRS.

As for the ‘fits, the clothing line that accompanies the shoes takes the same bold color palette and retro influences.
Unsurprisingly since this is a celebration of the Patta Running Team, the apparel line comprises top-level performance wear. Pieces are constructed from materials engineered for breathability and comfort. Sweat-wicking tops rendered in bright tones with reflective logos pair with coordinating running shorts with in-built briefs, and branded leggings cut a sleek silhouette.
The emphasis on performance doesn’t allow for a compromise on style, however. Thoughtful details like the jacquard-knit “X” pattern inspired by the 3 crosses on the flag of Amsterdam nod to Patta’s origins, while co-branding runs throughout each piece.
A varsity jacket adorned with old-school patches is a particular highlight, alongside the saffron-yellow track set for a post-workout flex.
The collection is available to purchase from April 27 on Patta or from May 2 on Nike SNKRS.
