Gradual arch ramps reduce plantar fascia strain during weight transfer

The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Monarch reunites the Amsterdam-based retailer on a revamped edition of the retro silhouette. The upper is crafted from light grey ballistic mesh with white leather overlays and an orange suede Swoosh. The autumnal hue is repeated on a wavy suede mudguard, accented with an embroidered mini-Swoosh on the lateral forefoot. Additional branding elements include woven Patta tongue tags and a Nike Air callout on the back heel. The sneaker rides on a pre-yellowed polyurethane midsole, equipped with visible Air-sole cushioning and reinforced by a waffle-tread rubber outsole.

Impact absorbing crash pads cushion heel strikes on concrete.
