With 2022 being our 20th year as a footwear-led retailer, we’ve become fully emerged within the global sneaker community and this year, our 20th year, we’ll be hosting a physical and digital exhibition, a line-up of community talks and new exclusive brand collaborations.
To celebrate this 20th anniversary, we’ve created a Blueprint exhibition marking our prominence within sneaker culture. Charting our collaborative history from inception on St Annes Court through to our now current home on Berwick Street, London, and of course Rue Du Temple, Paris, the exhibition will spotlight the unique people and stories that made this all possible.
During the course of the exhibition, we’ll showcase our rich product chronology, unveiling new anniversary styles and revisiting rare archival and unreleased pieces throughout the years. During the two-day event and installation at Noho Studios, Soho, defining collaborative projects including the iconic adidas Superstar 35th Anniversary, Asics Gel-Lyte 3 ‘Squad’ and Nike Air Epic styles will all be on display. From groundbreaking Nike collaborations to being the original UK adidas consortium stockist, much of what’s recognised as top-tier sneaker retail today originated right here; including the first foray into the art world with KAWS.
With three key values at the core of what we do, Community, Design and Culture, The Blueprint will see a series of daily programmed talks with industry pioneers. Launching in 2002, we were at the heart of London’s sneaker scene and continues to cultivate community today through local initiatives, such as the recent re.GENERATION workshops. Stay locked for more information on these talks coming soon!
The Footpatrol 20th Anniversary Blueprint Exhibition will open to the public on Saturday 5th November, running until Sunday 6th, at Noho Studios, Soho, London.
For those that are unable to attend, there will be an opportunity to join in the celebrations with an exclusive digital exhibition. We’ll also be offering a new In-app experience over on the Footpatrol Launches App (Download the Footpatrol Launches App here), with exclusive online content and behind-the-scenes stories from the last 20 years of brand collaborators.
