Displaying more than a little affection towards our family over there at @footpatrol_ldn this evening, the Soho team worked in partnership with some great people at HOUSE OF ST BARNABAS on a recently rebirthed adidas silhouette -- actually donating all proceeds from the Footpatrol x adidas Originals Forum Low to the organisation’s fund pot.
@hostbarnabas provides support for those heading back into employment off the back of homelessness, making an immensely difficult transition significantly smoother through guidance, courses and mentor programmes. Launching this sneaker in the bosom of the most difficult 12 months on record tells you everything you need to know about FP; their heart is in nowhere other than the right place.
A mere 300 units were produced, clad industriously in clay-cross-grey cement-esque suede-nubuck compounds evenly across the iconic upper; building on what is already a world famous generational unit, each pair dons ‘FAMILY’ and ‘FOOTPATROL’ embellishments on alternating straps, dual-branding at each physically plausible opportunity, down to the smallest yet most impactful decision to include each staff member’s signature scrawled across insoles without exception.
GOOD stuff, from GOOD people, for a GOOD cause.
