Patta and Nike work in collaboration to launch yet another iteration of the Air Max 1 sneaker model, this time, in a Monarch colorway update. It is also complete with hues of Pure Platinum and Metallic Silver. The shoe gives off a gray tone at the base foundation of the upper made using mesh materials.
It is then overlaid with white details in the form of leather overlaying on top and reworked nubuck makes up the mudguards in a light brown color. The same detail travels to the midfoot Swoosh accent and smaller branded Swooshes on the toe applied with embroidered details. Completing the shoes are the tonal eyelets, branded tongue tags, printed insoles, and contrasting rubber outsoles.
