Patta

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Patta literally means shoes in Surinamese slang, and the coolest shoes and gear around are exactly what the store offers. It was part experiment, part hobby when Edson Sabajo and Guillaume ‘Gee’ Schmidt opened the store’s doors in 2004 at Zeedijk 67, catering to family and friends. Today, it is considered THE place for sneakerheads in and around Amsterdam. And while the store’s vibe is cool and relaxed, its super exclusive shoes and gear are anything but! The brands on offer include staples like Adidas (Consortium), Asics, Nike (Tier 0), Pro Keds, Puma, Reebok, Ubiq and Vans, clothing from Alife, Delta, DQM, HUF, Kangol, MadeMe, Ontour, Ransom, Reigning Champ, Rockers NYC, Rockwell and Stüssy, exclusive collaborations, and products from Awake, Rockwell and Patta’s in-house brand.
