On 29th August we hosted a Mizuno Neo Vista launch run which included the Mizuno fam bringing down some try-on pairs for the Footpatrol Run Club to take them for a spin on our 6K run.
We had the Mizuno team talk us through the technology and use cases. Mizuno Wave midsole technology provides expert cushioning and stability with a X10, durable carbon rubber, allowing for longer wear and lower impact in pressure areas.
We had post-run refreshments provided by Liquid Death and Jubel.

Runner Beans is a Greenwich-based run club founded by Lydia and Joel, who have built an inclusive and safe space for people to meet, run, and drink great coffee! So we did exactly that. Bringing together Footpatrol Run Club and Runner Beans Club runners for a 10km scenic run, starting out at Cutty Sark Ship and running to the Footpatrol London Store in Soho for a post-run chat, drink and pastries provided by Sanctuary Coffee.

The Clot x adidas collaboration notorious for doing things differently and the ‘Linen Khaki’ version is absolutely no different. Produced by Edison Chen and inspired by Chen’s European travels, this is a Summer shoe through and through.
There is no debate that this is premium rendition, featuring a luxury nubuck overlay, with a perfect for summer, espadrille sole. Adding to the intricate details, the classic 3 stripes have been given a beaded take. The perfect mix of “East meets West” combining the iconic silhouette with traditional Chinese craft techniques.
Available online and in-store at Footpatrol on 23/08.

Returning with a unique take on Reebok’s iconic Club C, Footpatrol is here to transport you back to the early ‘90s. Drawing inspiration from the grunge scene, this exclusive edition of the Club C references the well worn denim and plaid shirts synonymous with the era.
Designed with this movement’s identity in mind, hairy suede has been incorporated to symbolise the natural ageing process of footwear as if it has been sat as dead-stock, with the washed blue a subtle nod to the ever present denim on show- all whilst maintaining the unkempt charm of ‘90s grunge. For a personal touch on the Reebok x Footpatrol Club C, artwork has been done by hand on the woven label – reflecting the sub-cultural demand for ‘This Generation’s Shoe’, rather than just another shoe for athletes.
Continuing on the DIY theme, the reimagined hand-drawn logo falls in line with the popular printed zine culture of the day, while, touches of plaid on the heel tab, inner lining and footbed nod to the infamous flannel shirts. The considered choice to combine a gum sole with chunky laces was an ode to the skateboarding scene, alongside the prevalent bands and live music that ignited the ‘90s alternative era.
Available in men’s and women’s sizes.
Launching on the 3rd August 2024 online at 8am BST and in-store at 10am BST.
