Patta are without a doubt one of the strongest European presences in our industry today. Having a hand in so many great products over the years, they reach a milestone in 2009 as they celebrate their 5th Anniversary. However, beyond many of their awesome sneaker releases of the past, and upcoming, comes a more comprehensive story to the Amsterdam-based retailer. We recently had a chance to speak with Guillaume “Gee” Schmidt (pictured right), co-founder of Patta and Nathan Jobe of Converse regarding an upcoming project involving the two, as well as music group Le Le which features the likes of artist Parra (pictured left). The three-way capsule includes a Pro Leather, Chuck Taylor All-Star and varsity jacket. Beyond just this solitary collaboration, Patta shine through the bringing together of various acts beyond just apparel. The intersection of art, music and culture have inevitably created a rock-solid foundation for the Patta crew, which should yield many great years ahead of them.
