Over the last few years, Salomon have found themselves gaining themselves an almost cult like following within the sneaker world. Designing and engineering some of the most advanced outdoor ready products, the brand in recent years have found themselves at the centre of a fashion week take over. Spotted on many feet strolling from show to show, their bright colourway options and technical appearance made them a fan favourite to spice up any outfit.
Looking back at their own archive, we see the ACS Pro Advanced. Originally a silhouette first launched back in the mid 2000’s, this trail icon has been reimagined, redesigned and updated for the modern day. Benefitting from an upgraded stride-stabilising Agile Chassis System for a progressive adaptation that you’d find within any trail icons, now in a host of tonal colourways.
Grab a closer look at this latest upcoming duo, set to launch online at Footpatrol on 01.10.22

Think it’s safe to say, the Crocs Clog is in a league of its own, a league which has seen household names within streetwear and art take their own spin to this eye-catching offering. Standalone when it comes to style, divided when it comes to opinions, you can’t deny that the Salehe Bembury offering has caused quite the stir!
After returning a couple weeks back in the ‘Cobbler’ colour way, the Pollex Clog continues its roll out with ‘Tide’.
Crafted from foam, the fit is moulded into an unorthodox fingerprint design – its daring exploration of form is one that is reminiscent of Salehe Bembury’s signature branding. Concaved perforations throughout continues the theme of authenticity as well as keeping things ultra-lightweight. Paired with an adjustable heel strap for added personalisation, while underfoot, the part translucent outsole unit signs off the design with supreme durability made with everyday terrain in mind.

Being a small team of designers and most importantly, enthusiasts All Triangles benefit from the terrain on their doorstep which helps the team design, develop and test footwear concepts in a matter of weeks, not months.

Amongst our long list of collaboration offerings from footwear to apparel, at Footpatrol we believe in the key essentials.
With the changing of seasons starting to arise, Autumn is fully on its way so for our latest apparel collection, we wanted to offer a range of basics from sweatpants, sweater and t-shirts that all come with a stripped back approach with a core offering at mind. Consisting of a monochrome colour palette, the collection focusses itself around a premium offering of heavy autumnal pieces with the Footpatrol Bar Logo taking centre stage.
Take a closer look at the collection below and make sure to grab yours, available in-store and online here!
Unveiling another spectacle of our homeware creations for our 20th anniversary, we thought that there would be nothing more complimentary than a sustainable bit of upholstery to crown our cleaning bench station. Reaching out to North London’s very own upholstery space – Studio Swade – that turned our creative vision into a craftsmanship reality.
With the conscious efforts of upcycling old vintage homeware for creating a sustainably viable future for our planet and furniture. Studio Swade is an upholstery workshop run by creative mastermind Beth who integrates her passion for tools and woodwork with her love of sewing to create bespoke pieces of furniture.
Putting Beth’s impressive artisanal skills to the test, Footpatrol tasked Studio Swade her to create a bespoke knee cushion that could be used when sneaker cleaning at the table that also fits harmoniously in the sneaker cleaning table compartment/s. The cushion is predominantly composed of Calico fabric construction, with Hessian material used on the base of the cushion for added durability.

Continuing our relentless slew of homeware products that celebrates our 20th anniversary here at Footpatrol we thought we would delve into another spectrum of the art world . This time teaming up with London based ceramics studio E.P.C. to create a range of timeless stoneware pieces that we are so excited to share with you. Not only is it the perfect keepsake item to your ornament collection it is yet another relational piece to our exclusive sneaker cleaning bench.
A bespoke start-up by artist and ceramicist Emily Procotor, E.P.C is an authentic ceramic studio based in Hoxton, London. Utilising coarse stoneware and natural earth tones to make simple and imperfect shapes that accentuates the handmade nature of objects. Her rustic and real approach to her artwork makes her the perfect choice to produce bespoke earthenware to complement the sneaker cleaning table.
The brief provided for E.P.C was to design a ceramic bowl that served as multi-purpose item and could be used to aid the sneaker cleaning process. To accompany the bowl, Footpatrol also asked E.P.C to design and produce a bottle that could hold the cleaning solution – creating timeless, long-lasting ornaments for those who appreciate design in all its forms and take pride in cleaning their sneakers.
