2022 has proven to be a year full of anniversaries. Whether thats sneakers celebrating their birthdays or stores like ourselves, there is a lot going on to celebrate within the sneaker, streetwear scene.
As you’re all aware, 2022 signals 20 years of Footpatrol but not only that, it also shines a light on our friendly Soho neighbours Dukes Cupboard who find themselves celebrating 10 years.
To celebrate these two milestones, we popped round to Dukes Cupboard with the latest offering from Reebok, the LX8500. We tasked them with no only what they do best, sourcing and piecing together two outfits that would do the shoe justice but also, bring the Reebok and outfits to live…
CREATIVITY IS THE ENEMY
When it comes down to collaborations, the Tom Sachs NikeCraft colabs are built on the foundations of usability and innovation. Whether it’s from the Mars Yards that utilise years of studying and testing including the shape, weight and colours before getting anywhere near the public domain.
For their latest efforts, they release the ‘General Purpose’ shoe. A sneaker that is made to be worn on peoples feet day in, day out. Delving into the archive, Sachs takes what works, wore it and saw what needed revising before ending at this final product.

We’re here, sadly, this week is the last week of Bone Sodas Phonox London August residency. It’s been great and has definitely created some memorable nights.
For this week, we’re highlighting Charisse C. NTS Resident, DJ, and the founder of Abantu over on No Signal radio, Charisse C draws on her unique admiration for the soulful and bass-heavy options with a sprinkle of playfulness that makes a DJ memorable.
Take a listen below and make sure to get yourselves down to Phonox this Friday to catch the final night of these 4 eventful evenings.
We continue our long list of 20 year anniversary celebrations this year at our authentic sneaker fraternity here at Footpatrol by enlisting the help of London based 3D artist and animator Joseph Melhuish – creating his own distinctive take on our signature gas mask design.
Donning a fluid artistic flair with and presenting an all new conceptual lane through his witty tone that transcends through his artwork. Melhuish utilises his digital canvas through an array of exaggerated designs that builds a compelling scene for those who witness it. Working with the likes of Cheerios, Adult Swim, Spotify and Vice – just to name a few, we believe he would be the perfect fit for our latest commissioned communi-T series.
Remastering our signature branding, the dual T-shirt design includes the respective Footpatrol bar logo branding debossed to the front with an eclectic graphic coating the reverse. With the other tee, arriving with a graphic adorned to the front, accompanied with a small gasmask insignia that signs off the design with a dose of FP heritage.
The Utopia t-shirt collection is now available in-store and online here.
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!
Well now, the Pollex Clog is back in a new colourway dubbed ‘Cobbler’.
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.

The YZY FOAM RNR ‘SAND’, which is made in the U.S.A., features injected EVA foam to provide lightweight durability. This model is made using algae harvesting technology that helps to keep lakes clean. The soft top layer in the footbed offers immediate step in comfort. The strategically mapped vents around the foot provide air flow and breathability. Additionally, the YZY FOAM RNR will usher in a new box construction that requires less material, which leads to less cardboard material waste.

With Nike exploring the past with the return of the Nike Air Kukini, we thought we’d combine this archival silhouette with the present, the future of London’s street culture scene. When we heard upcoming London based artist, Brian Nasty (Assisted by Tylar Gardener) was taking a month long trip to New York, we thought we’d equip him with the Kukini to document his trip.
Take a look at Brian’s New York adventure with the Air Kukini below and why not add this classic silhouette to your rotation?
The Nike Air Kukini is available to shop in-store and online at Footpatrol here!

Now though, JJJJound have become a staple name within the world of street culture thanks to their collaborative design studio that focus on longevity and construction and that all important word ‘timeless’. With the help of these projects, JJJJound have built a back catalogue of collaborations with some of the biggest streetwear, sportswear brands and artists out there. From BAPE, Reebok, to New Balance, JJJJound now add ASICS to the ever growing list with a ultra clean take on the GEL-KAYANO 14.
The execution is simple yet unique with subtle JJJJound touches to signify the collaboration but staying true to that ASICS look and feel we’ve all come to know, it definitely feels like a timeless piece.

Cooking up another round of tasteful iterations with South Korean label thisisneverthat, New Balance continues to deliver a new leash of life to its heritage inspired running silos. Integrating the brand’s commitment to performance with a touch of East Asian street style.
This dual shoe collaboration now turns its attention to the lauded 2002 and 1906 models – injecting that extra hint of running nostalgia with each step as this latest revamp promises to keep that much-loved greyscale design on our shelves this season.
Echoing a range of features from its early predecessors, both fits retain a breathable mesh knitted body with premium slabs of suede and leather panelling added in to mix , while ‘N’ labelling secures that extra bit of brand legacy. However, it is all in the details for the 1906 – bold metallics hits characterise the upper that sits blissfully upon an aged midsole, while the 2002 takes a more contemporary approach with its crisp white midsole – forming that extra bit of groundwork for running innovation.
Limited availability of the thisisneverthat x New Balance collection will be launching in-store on Friday 19th August!
