On December 22nd, the much anticipated new collaboration between Asics and Amsterdam boutique Patta on the GEL Saga will release.

For the occasion Team Patta presents a nice video, once again giving you a recap of all their sneaker collaborations with Asics. Check it out!

As we get closer to the release of the next collaboration between Patta and Asics, we sat down with Gee from Patta to get a bit more background information on the project. It is not the first team-up of the two, and the Amsterdam store is known for very strong shoe collaborations, especially with Asics. As many of you might remember, their Asics Gel Lyte 3 was probably the shoe to put the Asics brand back on the map in the sneakerhead market.

Therefore, as usual, the Patta crew set the bar high and presents an extremely well executed Asics GEL Saga as part of this latest collaboration. Limited to 400 pairs, the shoe will go on sale on December 22nd, 2011, at Patta and select retailers.

Check out the full photo feature and interview with Gee here.

After our initial teaser preview, we get a better look at the upcoming collaboration between Patta and Asics on the GEL Saga. The sneaker landed on the cover of the latest issue of Sneaker Freaker magazine and well deserved. Next to rubberized leather, perforated leather and suede and other great details, the cover also reveals the pony hair panels that the Amsterdam store placed on the sneaker. All in all a fantastic color combination and probably not for the first time, one of the strongest Asics to come out this year. More information on the release and a further look at the sneaker will follow here soon.

Asics and Amsterdam’s Patta boutique continue their fruitful relationship with a third collaboration. Patta has been a key partner in reintroducing the GEL-Lyte III and GEL Lyte Speed styles, and this forthcoming release sees the two parties reworking the GEL Saga. The preview images show applied materials such as rubberized leather, perforated nubuck and ponyhair. The ASICS x Patta GEL Saga is set to release next month. Stay tuned to Highsnobiety for more details, as we get closer to the drop.

Patta continues to display a level of consistency throughout all of their special projects. This time around, the Amsterdam-based retailer creates this PxK Hiking Collection in partnership with KangaROOS. Patta dipped into the their archives and pulled out two hiking styles, the K2 and Woodhollow models, and reworked them with the application of CORDURA® Nylon fabrics and premium leathers. Both look really nice and if you are not completely sold, the Woodhollow comes with a double branded Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Knife. The worldwide release date is November 12the at selected retailers including: Avenue, Brothers & Sisters, Colette, CNCPTS, Footpatrol, Hanon, Norse Store, Overkill, Pigalle and Sneakersnstuff.

Amsterdam store Patta presents their new Fall/Winter 2011 collection of snapback caps. The drop includes overall 5 styles, each coming in several colorways and with different embroideries/patches applied to the upper. The caps are now available for 40 Euros

New from Patta is a duo of Kangol Mixed Yarn Beanies in blue or red. A perfect choice for the winter. We like the washed out look and the small, yet premium looking embossed leather tags. These are available online now.

We like Nike. We like Patta. We like the beautiful game. We like stripes. Now all four are coming together in celebration of AFC Ajax 30 League Victories to create this dope jersey. Thumbs up.

This Fall/Winter 2011 season, the Patta and KangaROOS co-branded collection makes its debut. When we first heard about it, we were rather skeptical, we have to admit. While we always do trust the judgement of Patta, we cannot say that we stand behind much of the current KangaROOS revival. When looking through the collections recently, we come across a mix of classics and interpretations of whatever is hot in the market at the moment, which did not seem true to the brand, nor appealing in terms of quality or style.

Not paying too much attention to the heritage of the brand, Patta presents this season the K2 and Woodhollow boots. While integrating trademark KangaROOS features, such as the pocket, Patta managed to build two premium boots, featuring quality leathers and Cordura nylon on the upper in solid colors. The outcome are two modern outdoor boots in classic colors, yet with some nice color accents. They managed the unexpected and the result we certainly find appealing. To further add to the message of the pack, Patta produced a Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Knife to come along with each boot.

Patta and KangaROOS have a 3 year contract – let’s see what else this partnership will come up with. We are not sure it will make KangaROOS a more appealing brand again by itself, but we are 100% sure that Patta will be selling out these boots in no time.
