Out of love and necessity rather than profit and novelty, Patta opened its doors in 2004. Situated right in the city heart of Amsterdam, the store literally became the center of attention by bringing new excitement to the Dutch streetwear scene. Founded by Edson Sabajo and Guillaume ‘Gee’ Schmidt as a means to provide themselves, as well as their friends and family, with a steady supply of footwear and gear, that which has started as a hobby has now flourished into a thriving business and recognizable brand. Both prominent figures in the Dutch hip-hop scene in the 90s and early 2000s, Edson as a DJ and Gee as host/MC, it was these common interests that grew into a strong friendship and viable business partnership. Before the Tier 0, Quickstrike, and Consortium accounts, the team traveled across the planet with wads of cash in their pockets, visiting obscure sneaker stores and buying vast amounts of footwear that was unavailable to the Dutch public.
