Patta 
Out of love and necessity rather than profit and novelty, Patta opened it's doors in 2004. Situated right in the city heart of Amsterdam, the store literally became the center of attention by bringing new excitement to the European streetwear scene. Patta maintains a strong buying policy and presence online and in the real world through fashion, travelling, products, collaborations, music, events and parties.

Flymotion@290SQM

To commemorate Nike’s iconic 1972 Cortez shoe/new 2009 Flymotion Cortez shoe and it’s release in the form of a double pack yesterday, Nike Europe held a little presentation and pre-launch the day before at Ido’s place, 290SQM. Mila and I went to check that out. And the Foodware catering, of course (what up Sanders!).

Weyo a Parra bookje! Ze best of… Slightly off balance, slightly off key, slightly crooked, barely readable, barely sane, lots of blues, lots of pinks, lots of blacks, floating letters, naked girls, dressed girls, odd creatures, men with beaks, shoes that talk, inspired by daytime tv, inspired by nightime tv, inspired by listening to music, inspired by making music, falling on his face skateboarding, falling on his face partying, breaking his brain filtering garbage, breaking his hand drawing.

In 2009 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Dutch underground. Today still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem. If no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire, The A Team.Friday was a fun little day as a highly trained special ops unit of 7 well rested men and 1 lethal woman embarked on an
high riskeducational journey to the Nike Europe Headquarters. Some of us have been there before, but others haven’t, so for the latter it should’ve been extra interesting to get a little behind the scenes and learn about some ins and outs and forthcoming product from the Swooshed corporation.Say hello to Franklin bka FS Green, latest addition to the team, staring out the window trying to wake up. He has soom free goods for y’all, which you can pick up right here. Jazz and World in the back as well. Ed and Eke too. Not pictured are Anti Inter, Ashley the Navigator and myself.
This is just a fraction of the complex. Behind these buildings you can find all types of things such as running tracks, tennis courts and football fields and the Converse and Nike SB buildings as well.
If you never heard of Bill Bowerman, go get your Wiki on.
That’s him right there, coaching Phil (Knight). Get your Wiki on.
Spyed around the corridors and offices… This particular one belongs to the homie Jim S. What up! He has some cool shit in his office: pebble stoned floor, Chesterfield couch, Erika typewriter, Atari 2600, Akai multiband boombox, Academy cabinet phonograph player…
Did some more walking around.
This section is dope.
At Pim’s office. Pim is our friend and Tier Zero rep. Sorry about the blurs, you know the deal.
Too many secrety thingies laying around, so I’ll leave you with this.
Shouts to all the Nike staff we met! Thank you Pim, thank you Juan Carlos, thanks for your time, knowledge and promotional goods.

Finally released as the Beastie Boys and the Dust Brothers originally intended, digitally remastered and visually expanded. Did you know more than a 100 samples where used producing this album? Do that today, you’d get sued for the rest of your life. Can’t believe this album is already 20 years old though. I think the place pictured on the cover (corner of Ludlow/Rivington, NY) is a dodgy falafel joint today.

A footwear jam named saturdays
January 31st 09, 8:15
Sharing some images of the Patta x Asics release today. Cats in Amsterdam don’t do cues, they man their positions and hold that spot down, ain’t nobody moving them but themselves! Nah, actually there was a well kept list so all went smooth and peacefully. Boswottels I see you!
As they say on the internets: FIRST! We would like to tip our fitted hats to this young man who already started cueing up yesterday and stood in line for 21 hours give or take, below zero temperatures included. Chuck Norris is a pussy.
Team France (and a little bit Belgium) was in the building as always, representing Patta releases. Thank you for the hardcore support! Land Rover baby.
Massive thank you’s go out to the fine people at Asics Europe: Mister Yutaka, Remco, Remko, Arlette, Shuhei and all others who have contributed in making this project a success.
Happy weekend y’all.

Not Leonidas’ army either, even though we did put in work like the Spartans tonight… More about that later. With the hours counting down til launch of our latest collaboration project with Asics, the usual last minute stress started to kick in. First task: Create space for the arrival of 300 pairs of shoes, 300 backpacks and 30 jackets. If you have ever been to Patta, you will understand that that is not an easy job to accomplish. Then, wait for the product to arrive around 6pm. But it didn’t, ha! Around 8:40pm an unidentified vehicle finally shows up.
Relieved, but the best part is yet to come: Move the dozens of heavy boxes up the stairs, pure unadulturated fun, don’t you all agree ladies and gentlemen?
Unfazed, we divided into Team Delta, Team Elms and Team Parra. It took us 2 hours give or take to sort sizes, unbox every single pair, insert them into the corresponding backpacks, barcode every package, re-box them and then dispose of all the wasted packaging material. Sorry Ma Nature, I promise we will do an environmentally friendly collaboration in the future. Patta x Greenpeace tree hugger coat?
Not making any promises of any kind, but some of the artists who helped out might just be present long enough during the launch to get your package signed (pause)? Hope to see y’all saturday!

January 28th 09, 6:34
For domestic promotion of the forthcoming Patta x Asics Gel Lyte Speed Pack we joined forces with Dutch Hip Hop label Top Notch to produce a series of music videos featuring prominent artists from said label.
