Event Recap! Footpatrol’s Celebratory 20th Anniversary ‘The Blueprint’ Exhibition

Footpatrol was founded in 2002, meaning that this year they’re celebrating their 20th anniversary! Kicking off the party this past weekend, they curated an epic two-day installation at Noho Studios dubbed ‘The Blueprint’. It chronicled the retailer’s 20-year journey, with everything from its early days, to their countless collaborations. Fans who attended the weekend-long exhibition were amazed with the never-before-seen Footpatrol samples on display, sneak peeks at collaborations, and panel discussions with heavy hitters in the sneakersphere.

One of the highlights was a project curated by Helen Kirkum, who deconstructed Footpatrol’s Gel Saga II, Gel-Lyte III 'Squad', Gel-Kayano 'Storm' and Gel-Saga 'Anime’, crafting a unique creation given the moniker ‘HK-FP-91’. Alongside Kirkum, Footpatrol commissioned Lorenz OG to put his signature gradient spin on a pair of New Balance 2002Rs. Alongside the art installations were a duo of Footpatrol collaboration reveals, including the adidas Campus 80s and Karhu Fusion 2.0!

Plenty of the retailer's collaborative samples were also on show, including but not limited to, the ASICS Gel-Saga Grey, adidas EQT Racing and New Balance 1500 ‘Encyclopaedia’. After perusing all the sneakers, fans entered the archival t-shirt room, housing an exclusive KAWS t-shirt and hoodie made for the store in 2002.
