At Footpatrol, we’ve been dealing with the very latest and great in footwear for the past 20 years and we love nothing more than getting our hands on the latest offering from the brands we stock and putting them to the test.
To welcome The North Face to the Footpatrol brand offering, we wanted to invite some of you along for one of these tests. Heading out to Epping Forest, a took a handful of you, the community with us to check out their latest product within their ‘VECTIV‘ trail running range.
Meeting up with Mark Parry at our starting point, Mark took us all through the different variants of ‘VECTIV’. Here he explained the benefits of each silhouette and which ones may be better suited to an individuals running needs whether that’s speed or comfort. After, we of course headed out into the forest for a friendly 10km run to see what it was all about!
Take a closer look at the day below and make sure to keep your eyes peeled for The North Face coming soon to Footpatrol…!
We’ve all come to know and love the Air Force 1, a silhouette that the majority of us have owned at some point throughout our years. Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, Nike look back at the history of the AF1 and some of it stand out memories.
The ‘Colour of the Month’ Air Force 1 is an anniversary edition that looks at two distinct moments in its history. The first? Well that goes back to 1984 when the Air Force 1 may have not become the giant it became. Potentially saving it from extinction, shops in Baltimore couldn’t get hold of product fast enough due to the demand they were facing. This led to shop keepers asking, begging for custom colour ways to sell within their store and you could say, that was that for the Air Force 1. It went on to become an icon off the court and took the fashion and street culture by storm.
The second is that crisp white upper. Though its had an abundance of collaborations and in-line specials, the all white Air Force 1 is something that will forever go down in sneaker history.
So that’s that, we come back to 2022 with this special anniversary edition that celebrates all things Air Force 1! Take a closer look at this latest iteration below which is now available to shop in-store and online here!
Just in time for those summer months…
The YEEZY SLIDE features an injected EVA FOAM for lightweight durability, whilst the soft top layer in the footbed offers immediate step in comfort. The outsole utilises strategically mapped grooves for optimal comfort and traction.

The Air Jordan 1 needs no introduction. The relationship between Jordan and Travis Scott needs no introduction so lets get into it with their latest creation, the Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Reverse Mocha’.
We all know that for a lot of you, the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 High ‘Mocha’ was a must have, a grail well now Travis Scott and Jordan Brand return once again with this recipe using different ingredients.
First off the bat, the duo have this time opted for a Air Jordan 1 Low silhouette, something we’ve become similar with from this partnership and always shines a light on the simplicity and easy-to-wear nature of the low. They’ve also opted for a reversed colourway with the Mocha and white hues changing places and featuring across their opposite panels to that of the High creating a super clean iteration that’s going to be a perfect addition for your summer get ups.

Footpatrol meets the outdoors with yet another coveted collaboration for our 20th anniversary. Introducing our latest partnering with Mizuno on the renowned Wave Rider 10 silhouette. With this project inspiration from mother Earth – honing in on the weathering process of rocks and minerals.
Weathering is a fundamental process on Earth and many things surround us like water, ice, salt, acids and plants are all agents of weathering, therefore our iteration of the Wave Rider 10 is the perfect way for us to showcase the natural processes of the world.
Focussing on the geographical element of erosion, the Footpatrol Wave Rider 10 ‘Rust’ is readied in a mixed material construction, long nap-hairy suede embellishes the toe box and lateral ankle collar. An airy closed mesh heel further adds depth and texture paired with washed suede overlays all subdued in Driftwood Brown, Berry Conserve and Green Milieu – reminiscent of the colours seen through the varying stages of erosion.
Runbird insignias sit in its original place on the lateral sidewall alongside a rust-inspired jewel detail on the heel graphic complete with respective Mizuno & Footpatrol brand logos. Packed with Wave Technology, a thermoplastic plate insert that provides a unique combination of cushioning, stability and energy return in every step for maximum comfort. Speckled midsole detailing and a durable rubber outsole that sits underneath completes this look with multidirectional tread – perfect for those off-terrain adventures. Each pair comes with tri-colour hiking cord laces and is housed in a special edition, custom designed Mizuno & Footpatrol shoe box (available exclusively at Footpatrol).
The Footpatrol x Mizuno Wave Rider 10 ‘Rust’ is now available in-store and online here, priced at £135.
The New Balance 9060 was shot into the limelight thanks to the help of frequent collaborator Joe Fresh Goods. The silhouette is a lively, modern expression within the New Balance lineup that withholds traditional details throughout the upper. The midsole and outsole however is where the real redesign comes into it. Bringing in inspiration from the ‘chunky sneaker’ trend, the outsole wraps it’s way over the midsole for a exaggerated look. Now to follow on from Joe Fresh Goods effort, New Balance stick with those traditional roots by using a subtle all over suede and mesh mix with a wealth of brown, creamy tones.
Launching online on Saturday 16th July (Available 08:00AM BST), priced at £130.
Have Jordan Brand won summer with this latest Air Jordan 3?
Throughout their history, Jordan Brand have always delved into an array of unique and special iterations whether that’s an in-line collection or their latest collaboration and this latest 3 looks like its straight from the local ice cream van. With its near Neapolitan choice of colour ways from the soft pinks, to the soft creamy midsole through to the chocolatey ‘Dark Mocha’, this could be the perfect colour combination for this summer.
The WMNS Air Jordan III ‘Dark Mocha’ is now available to shop in-store and online here!
Defying his own lane of hyperrealist style as well as being continuously lauded for his ostentatious display of music inspired illustration, we have enlisted the help of artist Miles Wintner for our latest commission project. We tasked Miles Wintner to create a series of graphics inspired by era’s of music.
From his satirical use of humour to his spanning catalogue of eclectic album covers, Miles Wintner is always finding new ways to deliver a new lease of life to the archives – mainly fulfilling the artistic needs for the indie music scene and many others alike.
Utilising his own experimental ambition and vision of album art, he has come out with three lively t-shirt iterations: ‘Illusions’, ’Time Stretch’ and ‘Radials’ accompanied by a hoodie that are all inspired by different generations of music.
Nodding to the 80’s music era and surrealist design the illusion T-shirt arrives in a crisp white cotton body with neighbouring Footpatrol branding that is adorned to the chest. Paired with a sleek and abstract graphic moniker that coats the reverse that completes this conceptual fit. The Time Stretch tee is emblematic of the electronic music realm and includes Footpatrol branding with a graphic accented to the back that is also offered in a white hue.
The radials T-shirt draws inspiration from the outdoor music festival and comes in a tempting black and white option, followed by branding aforementioned and a stylish graphic that sits on the reverse. This ample design is also previewed in a black hoodie form.

Renowned for its Swoosh-less design and iconic legacy, the Air Jordan 2 has always been in its own lane of biting b-ball style. Designed by Peter Moore and released to the masses in 1986, it quickly became a first choice on and off-the courts. This season, the famed Jordan brand joins creative forces with Parisian fashion label Maison Château Rouge to reimagine this icon.
Readied in a full grain leather upper in a crisp white hue, the shoe is neighboured with tonal African-inspired designs on the lateral walls. Airy perforations on the toe linger on the toe cap with inaugural Wing branding on the tongue. Vibrant colours feature too with bespoke patterns and a speed lacing system offering quick on-the-go adjustment.
The silhouette is injected with Air cushioning at the heel and a decorated polyurethane midsole that sits underneath for unbeatable levels of comfort. On-court ready, the fit is finalised with a rubber outsole for grippy tread action.

This year is a strong year when it comes to anniversaries… Not only is it Footpatrol 20th anniversary but there are also some special silhouettes that are celebrating huge milestones. Most notably, the Cortez! The Cortez this year turns 50, yes 50 and with this latest introduction we’re hoping it signals just the start of collaborations and retros for what is such an iconic shape and style.
So, to celebrate this 50th anniversary, Nike team up with good friends UNION L.A. who reimagine the upper with a vintage, cultural twist. With its woven overlays and subtle colour palette that pays tribute to the visual tones of Los Angeles, its a collaboration that instantly takes you back in time.
