Car-Themed Porsche Sneakers Worth Your Attention

Porsche is celebrating not only its 75th anniversary as a brand, but also the 60th anniversary of its iconic 911 sports car. To mark this special occasion, the German automaker has introduced the Porsche 911 S/T and released two new sneaker designs.

The Porsche 911 S/T takes inspiration from the 1972 911 S and is known for being the lightest car in the brand's lineup. What makes it even more impressive is that it features the naturally-aspirated flat-six engine from the 911 GT3 RS, paired with a manual gearbox that has shorter ratios and a single-mass flywheel.

In addition to the 911 S/T, Porsche Design has also launched the classic Puma Retro Sneaker to pay homage to the legendary 911 S 2.5. This sneaker is designed with a light blue exterior, a retro-grille-bad hangtag, and even features the number 56 on the heel, which is a nod to the Porsche 911 that participated in GT racing in 1972. Although it didn't have the S/T name at the time, it was the first car to utilize "S" special racing components. The red-orange laces of the sneaker give it a distinctive Gulf Oil livery look.
