We love the different textures that have made their way on the upper of this sneaker. The Parra x Patta x Nike Air Max 1 sneaker is a study of how texture can keep a sneaker more interesting even if it sports a simple colorway.

The Parra x Patta x Nike Air Max 1 sneaker is perhaps one of the best designed sneakers in years. It comes in a mesh and suede maroon upper. You will find the sneaker’s suede side panels and toe panel very inviting to touch. A mesh-like material occupies the toe box providing lots of comfort the wearer.

This sneaker is a combined effort of Dutch artist Parra and Amsterdam-based sneaker shop Patta, thus the confusing name. The dark maroon swoosh comes in a varying material than the upper. It is accented by teal shoe laces and tongue tag. The tongue sports an almost monochromatic maroon color also.

The Parra x Patta x Nike Air Max 1 sneaker has a rich but one-colored upper, but then again, take a look at the outsole and you will see the rainbow.
