With the quote “Reminding us that success is achievable regardless of obstacles“, Patta and Converse, have teamed up on another limited-edition collection that sees classic style cues and weather-ready materials converge to transform the Converse Weapon Ox, Chuck 70 Marquis, and an assortment of apparel into expressions of modern utility.
While the Patta x Converse collection is meticulously designed with durable fabrics and reflective prints, the “Rain or Shine” collection isn’t just about battling the elements, it’s about harnessing their energy. It’s a powerful collaboration, built with tough fabrics and reflective accents, but the true strength lies in the message. This isn’t your typical collaboration. Converse and Patta are weaving a story of resilience. Inspired by the Patta spirit, the collection champions the idea that obstacles are inevitable, but success is a journey fueled by dedication and the right perspective. The “Rain or Shine” mantra isn’t just about physical weather, it’s a call to navigate life’s storms with perseverance and a winning mindset. This collection is more than clothes; it’s a wearable reminder that challenges are stepping stones, not roadblocks. It’s a beacon for those who chase their dreams, come rain or shine.
The lookbook features up-and-coming musician, Sam Akpro, from Peckham, South London —home to many of the United Kingdom’s most iconic hip-hop artists. Sam defied expectations to become a prominent figure within the punk music scene, exhibiting the confidence to stand out and be himself regardless of what his environment expected from him. Alongside Sam is Caleb Femi, the campaign’s director. He’s a creative powerhouse – photographer, director, poet – who knows a thing or two about overcoming hurdles. His work is raw and real, a celebration of those who rise above the noise and chase their vision with unwavering confidence. Together, Sam and Caleb embody the “Rain or Shine” spirit – not just weathering the storm, but thriving in it.
This campaign isn’t about showcasing clothes, it’s about showcasing the power within. It’s a rallying cry for those who dare to be different, to chase their dreams with unwavering belief, because success isn’t about the absence of obstacles, it’s about how you navigate them.
The limited edition Patta x Converse “Rain or Shine” collection will be released March 29, on the Patta website, the Patta mobile app, as well as Patta stores in Amsterdam, London, and Milano. On April 4, the collection will be available at Converse website, and select stores.
