Last week we were at the Ritzy in Brixton for the Premier of Project Run Jamaica, The Documentary which we powered alongside Puma. Leon took on the feat of a 340KM+ run across the island in 4 days, a feat that has never been done before. The Documentary takes us throughs the highs and lows of his journey, as well as his inspiration, his days building up to it and the cultural importance of this feat.
Jamaica has been seen as a country that excels in short distance running, developing some of the greatest track-stars to date. Leon’s mission is to not only bring the community together but, also introduce long distance / ultra distance running to the Island in the hopes of inspiring others.
The first episode of the documentary is out now HERE

Recently Footpatrol teamed up with runner Leon Lewis to support his latest challenge ‘Project Run Jamaica’, a 345KM+ run across the island in 4 days, a feat that has never been done before.
Jamaica has been seen as a country that excels in short distance running, developing some of the greatest track-stars to date. Leon’s mission is to not only bring the community together but, also introduce long distance / ultra distance running to the Island in the hopes of inspiring others.
It only felt right to partner with PUMA, who are Jamaica’s biggest sportswear sponsor to bring this project to life and support Leon.
To kick things off, we hosted a send off community run from the Footpatrol London store with a series of wear test pairs, giveaway merch, food and beverages. Thank you for all that attended, stay tuned to the Footpatrol Run Club page where we will be sharing coverage of Leon’s journey on this Project Run Jamaica challenge.

Following up on the all-pink Family and Friends edition at Paris Fashion Week, Footpatrol joins forces with Reebok and Hiking Patrol to offer a refreshed take on the Instapump Fury that’s guided by a connection to the natural world. The design, a symbol of ’90s futurism, is reimagined by swapping out the air pump for a utilitarian zip-up cage and integrating a reinforced toe box. Drawing from the dramatic colours of our landscape and nature in spring, the palette opts for saturated yet muted shades and colour blocking that evoke stillness and calm. Tonal Reebok branding stamps the sidewall, while Footpatrol and Hiking Patrol logos take the heels.
To (reconnect) is found within a triangle of Nature, Balance and Harmony, by this we can re-establish a connection or relationship with someone or something. In this context of our collaborative effort, to reconnect with nature could involve spending time outside, immersing oneself in the beauty and tranquility of nature and developing a deeper appreciation for the environment that surrounds us. The act of reconnecting with nature can act as a powerful way to improve our health both mentally and physically, alongside this developing a greater sense of purpose and connection to the world around us ultimately balancing and harmonising us wholly, to (reconnect).
The Footpatrol x Hiking Patrol x Instapump Fury 94 is now available exclusively at Footpatrol HERE

Here’s a recap of what went down!
Earlier in the week the FPRC crew embarked on a cold, wet and dark run around central London. It wasn’t all doom and gloom though, as our friends over at Nnormal joined us in hosting a wear test event for their much loved trail shoe the Tomir 2.0.
We gave our runners a chance to take these consciously made trail shoes out for a test drive and a friendly natter on the streets. Rain or shine the FPRC team got the job done and the miles in to get their week set off right.
Huge thank you to the Nnormal team for teaching us a bit more about the brand and letting us share your message to our community.

The modern marathon is rich in history across the globe. Before we delve deeper into its roots, there are few key points to highlight for those who aren’t quite sure what a marathon is:
- The total distance of a marathon is 42.2km (26.2miles).
- Predominately a road race, although you are able to find marathon races that are trail based.
- Most cities host their own marathon.
- There are only 6 races (now 7) considered to be world majors – New York, Chicago, Berlin, Tokyo, Boston & London (Sydney has now been added to the list for 2025).
Some of these races have been taking place for 50+ years but the origins of this historic distance dates back to a greek legend from 460BC. Where an Athenian messenger by the name of Pheidippides ran from the battle grounds of Marathon to Athens to pass on a message of victory. Pheidippides soon died after arrival to Athens.
It wasn’t until the founding of the Modern Olympics in 1896, where the story of Pheidippides was later used as catalyst to create what we now know as the Marathon during the first games hosted in Athens. A true endurance test to push athletes above and beyond.
Fun Fact for our sneaker enthusiasts! The first gold medal was given to a greek competitor by the name of Spyridon Louis. His name was later used as the inspiration and title of the famed Nike Air Spiridon.
This week, FPRC had the pleasure in hosting adidas for an adizero wear test session celebrating some of the best innovation to grace the running market.
Our community had the chance to try out a great mix of runners from Takumi Sen, Adios Pro 3 and adistar BYD. The adidas team were also on hand to give everyone a little more insight and understanding into what each pair caters for.
