Brands like Patta: 6 alternatives, from store-led labels to sneaker collaborators

The closest matches to Patta, in our view, are CLOT, Alife and Undefeated. Complex lists Patta's sneaker collaborations with Nike, adidas, ASICS, Converse and Reebok; HBX lists CLOT with Disney, Nike and adidas, Hypebeast lists Alife with Nike, Reebok and adidas among others, and Sneaker Freaker covers Undefeated's work with Nike and Jordan Brand. No reputable source we found compares these brands to Patta directly, so the ranking is our judgement.

Patta is an Amsterdam label that Mixmag says Edson Sabajo and Guillaume Schmidt founded in 2004. Prices are the weak spot for any comparison: Patta's online store prints a $ sign with no currency code, so we can't say any pick is cheaper like for like.

What 'like Patta' usually means

In our view, people searching for alternatives tend to want one of three things: a store-led streetwear label with a community feel, sneaker collaborations, or music-rooted culture in the clothes.

Mixmag describes Patta as fusing art and music with a clean aesthetic, and Patta's own site describes Sabajo as a DJ and Schmidt as an MC and event host in the Dutch hip-hop and nightlife scene. Complex lists a Nike Air Max 1 'Amsterdam' in 2005, an adidas Superstar 3Way in 2009, an ASICS GEL Saga in 2011, and a Converse Pro Leather and Reebok Workout in 2012.

On Patta's online store in October 2026 the Black Patta Hoodie was $160, the Carhartt Patta Jacket $250 and the Converse x Patta T-shirt $120, each with a $ sign and no currency code. END. lists Patta in euros, for example a Tricot Track Jacket at €65, down from €129. Because Patta's currency is unprinted and the END. prices we noted are sale prices, we call a pick cheaper only if it lists the same item type on an official store in a confirmed currency, which none does here.

A note on dupes and replicas

We don't list replicas or sellers of Patta look-alikes. In our research we found no source describing counterfeit Patta or how common it is, so we make no claim about that. Patta's online store appears to be pattaofficial.com, and END. also lists Patta.

If you want the store-led, collaboration-heavy feel without Patta, a genuine alternative is a different brand with its own designs; the picks above were chosen on that basis.
