This is a nice excerpt from the ADC Hall of Fame gala presentation, celebrating John C Jay. As a partner and Executive Creative Director at
Wieden + Kennedy, possibly the world’s most influential advertising agency, John is a huge inspiration for many in the creative industry.
Stadium status, salute.

Patta is proud to announce the launch of the Patta F/W 2011 Collection.
The first drop of this second season collection consists of a melton wool/leather sleeve varsity jacket,
a wool knit pullover, a graphic crewneck sweater, various graphic and logo t-shirts and cotton socks.

The collection will be available in store at Patta November 12th as well as online at patta.nl and at
selected Patta-retailers worldwide on November 19th. The second drop is scheduled for launch
early December. More images coming soon.

We have partnered with Chinese sporting shoe brand Warrior Footwear and German writing instruments company Staedtler to present a mini collection for back-to-school season. Warrior’s classic and affordable silhouettes have made them a household name in China for decades, so it was only right to bring this cultural icon to Europe.

The plimsoll Club model comes in 3 basic colors: red, blue and black. All three feature canvas uppers atop a white midsole, pen-scratched by hand with Staedtler permanent markers and waterproof coated, which means every pair is unique. The woven side tag carries Amsterdam’s signature triple X and Patta branding can be found on the sockliner and on the midsole tab. Each pair comes in custom packaging, and includes a set of Staedtler stationery containing a corresponding Lumocolor 318 Permanent marker, Mars Lumograph HB pencil, Mars Plastic slide sleeve eraser and a mini writing pad. Matching Patta Script logo t-shirts (sold seperately) have been produced to complete the set.



The Patta x Warrior x Staedtler mini collection goes on sale on Saturday July 30th and will be available in store at Patta and at warriorfootwear.com.

Two weeks ago my friend Frank the Butcher of Butcher’s Block/Concepts Boston-fame asked me if I was interested to produce a mix for him. As if my hands weren’t full enough already, I said “yes” cause that’s fam. I hadn’t made a mix or even touched my turntables in a minute, so this would be fun. Frank sent me 50 of his favorite 90′s Hip Hop records for me to work with, and being that I know 99% of them inside out, I decided to take on the challenge and use all 50. The result is one dense continuous mix. Recorded in two sessions. Enjoy!

The kind people from Hypebeast dropped by Amsterdam a little while ago to shoot a short video piece about the natural progressions from Patta to Precinct 5. The final result is very fresh if I might say so! Big cheers and thank you to Kevin, Eugene and Chris!

“Starting with Patta, the Amsterdam-based retailer developed a strong foothold as a local destination for those looking for their sneaker and streetwear fix. Following natural growth and progression, Patta extended its reach with an all new retail point…”
