Patta has teamed up with Nike on the X2 capsule collection, bringing a distinctly Dutch perspective to the intersection of football and identity. The collection launches exclusively at pattaxnike.com and Patta Chapters on 12 June, followed by Nike stores, Nike.com, and select retailers on 16 June.
Seven key pieces anchor the collection: a pre-match jersey celebrating Nike community partner Favela Street, founded by street football legend Roxane Hehakaija Perremuto; a jersey; an anthem jacket; a black Nike Tech Fleece hoodie and matching pants; orange and white socks; and a Patta-designed Cryoshot. Orange runs through the collection as the defining colour of Dutch football, but it also carries attitude and cultural memory. The embroidery across the Tech Fleece pieces is a first of its kind for Nike.
The design draws on the symbolism of different heritages, representing unity and the coming together of many backgrounds into one collective identity. A necklace pattern appears on the pre-match jersey and anthem jacket, mixed with Dutch iconography. The Surinamese Ala Kondre necklace, traditionally worn as a symbol of protection and belonging, is one of the references woven into the collection. For Patta, the collaboration marks the first time the brand has been able to tell a story around the Dutch national team from its own point of view. “The storytelling is based on a reinterpretation of Dutch culture,” said Patta creative director Vincent van de Waal. “The Surinamese brass band could be seen and heard as the Patta drums of joy going into battle.”
The campaign, directed by Paul Geusebroek and Vincent van de Waal, moves between dark and upbeat, opening with Virgil van Dijk draped in the Dutch flag. Edgar Davids, a longtime friend of Patta with Surinamese-Dutch heritage, brings another generational layer. Luciano Valente represents the new generation, and the film closes with a young keepie-uppie record holder whose control and skill serve as a metaphor for what is ahead. Suriname runs through the entire project, connecting back to Patta founders Edson Sabajo and Guillaume Schmidt. The result is not a single image of national pride but a layered expression of what being Dutch can be.
The collection proposes a wardrobe where freedom and construction are not in opposition but in conversation. Spring 27 is about lightness, in every sense of the word.
