Launched in December 2017 by Brazilian-Japanese creative Felipe Matayoshi in São Paulo's east-zone Vila Carrão, PACE began as a small line of sneakers, bags and accessories before expanding into apparel and sportswear. Matayoshi describes the brand's voice as 'Brazilian improvisation with Asian discipline,' a sensibility shaped by his mother's sewing workshop and a sneaker obsession. PACE has produced sought-after collaborations with ASICS, New Balance, Budweiser and TikTok, and in 2024 opened a flagship store in São Paulo that anchors the brand's growing global community.
