Patta was founded by Edson Sabajo and Guillaume ‘Gee’ Schmidt. Both were instrumental in the Dutch hip-hop and nightlife community in the 90s and early 2000s—Edson as a DJ and Gee as an MC and event host. The music-minded pair also shared an obsession with hunting internationally for sneakers and records. They soon found themselves funneling a steady supply of gear from their travels back home to their community in Amsterdam, which grew naturally into a business partnership. Before they knew it, the demand started growing, and a cult favorite brand was born. Today, Patta is one of the few internationally revered, black-owned streetwear brands. It consists of a clothing line, Patta Soundsystem, Patta Running Team, and, most recently, the Patta Foundation, which focuses on youth cultural education. The brand is named after a slang term for “shoe” - a nod to the founders’ Surinamese heritage. A creative family to the core, Patta encourages inspiring collaborations, cultural crossover, and unconventional forms.
