EOE x PATTA

Neal Santos has been the inspiration for Supreme since 1997 and has previously created the Oakley x Supreme collaboration Frogskins, as well as starting the multi media collective TeamWorks NYC. Today, Patta is one of few internationally revered, black-owned streetwear brands and consists of a clothing line, Patta Soundsystem, Patta Running Team and, most recently, the Patta Foundation focusing on youth cultural education. The brand is named after a slang term for “shoe” - a nod to the founders’ Surinamese heritage. A creative family to the core, Patta encourages inspiring collaborations, cultural crossover, and unconventional forms.

Inspired by the distinct style of the Nordic environment, and the bicycle culture of New York City, the frames were released in a handmade limited edition in 2013 and made appearances in magazines such as Hypebeast. The eyewear were crafted specially in a reflective material made to pay homage to the reflexes in bicycle lights, and the lenses were custom made for this collaboration by Zeiss.
