Established in 2010 by Patta’s co-founder Edson Sabajo, the Patta Running Team has evolved into a global running collective. Now Patta and Nike, are joining forces once more, for a jubilant fusion of togetherness, culture, and achievement. Beyond merely garments and shoes, this collaboration symbolizes a collective journey toward excellence, igniting a fire within athletes of every generation and origin to carve their path in the realm of running.
“Patta Running Team was born from a desire to connect with like-minded individuals around the world through the universal language of running,” (…) “It’s about discovering new places, forging new connections and embracing freedom. Running transcends borders. Because when you run, your mind and spirit are set free to think and dream.”
– Edson Sabajo, co-founder of Patta
In a unique convergence, the line intertwines the characteristic ethos of Nike and Patta, deftly navigating the intersection of high-performance running gear and sophisticated lifestyle essentials. Yet, its essence lies deeper, resonating with the call for the burgeoning wave of runners to embrace their boundless capabilities while paying homage to the trailblazers who paved the way before them. That speaks to the heart of the Patta Running Team’s mission: inspiring athletes with different backgrounds and ambitions to come together as a group; help each other over the finish line; see new places; and, most importantly, have fun.
Highlights within the unisex collection include leggings made from lenticular three-color material and a heavyweight wool and leather varsity jacket that incorporates nods to Patta Running Team achievements and dedication. Track and race suits, tops, shorts and a running vest are also included in the capsule, and its campaign features Nike runner Sifan Hassan, who embodies strength and resilience as a two-time gold medalist for the Netherlands.
Completing the collection is an updated Air Huarache hybrid sneaker, offered in three colorways, that seamlessly blends a classic Huarache Plus upper with a Pegasus sole and incorporates premium leather overlays, a mesh underlay featuring a bootie construction, and a closure secured by nylon webbing. The tongue of the shoe showcases the “Patta Air” graphic, and each pair comes with a Patta custom towel included in the packaging. Premium reflective graphics and the Patta Panther running mascot are evident throughout the collection.
