About PATRICK
Its history begins in 1892 with Beneteau, a shoemaker, and his sons in the village of Pouzorges in western France.
“Putting passion into each pair of shoes” was a mantra that my father passed down to his son and grandchildren.
In 1930, PATRICK received high acclaim for its sports shoes, mainly soccer cleats, and in 1972, the “2” sharply engraved on the back of the shoes.
This line was born, making the brand’s image even more powerful. After that, PATRICK’s colorful sports shoes attracted attention from the fashion-conscious people of Paris, and in 1978
It will arrive in Japan for the first time in 2019.
Among the sneakers that were attracting attention only for their functionality at the time, PATRICK
Its vivid coloring and sophisticated form have secretly attracted the attention of fashionistas who don’t follow trends.
“Make-up on the feet” is a copy of PATRICK at the time.
We aim to be a brand that faithfully inherits this tradition and expresses sophisticated adult fashion that is not influenced by trends.
