Sneaker Startup Clints Partners with Patta to Launch the 'Stepper'
Niko Pajkovic — March 19, 2022 — Fashion
Clints, an emerging UK-based streetwear label founded by Junior Clints, has teamed up with Dutch brand Patta to launch an all-new sneaker called the 'Stepper.'
Up until now, Clints has been a lesser-known but well-respected label with a small cult following. The company began producing limited-run retro pieces that it would exclusively sell to its loyal fans via Instagram. However, with its new Patta co-sign, the company has entered the big leagues, expanding its offerings and showcasing significant growth as a brand.
Like its previous models, the new Stepper sneaker draws inspiration from '90s-era skateboard silhouettes, delivering an eye-catching canvas and suede design. In terms of color, the sneaker is dressed in a combination of green, black, teal, and brown hues. In addition, the sneaker features both embroidered Clints branding and the Patta logo on the tongue.
