Car-Themed Sneakers That Deserve Your Attention

Porsche is celebrating not only its 75th anniversary as a brand but also the 60th anniversary of the iconic 911 sports car. To commemorate this milestone, Porsche has introduced the Porsche 911 S/T and released two sneaker designs inspired by both the 911 S/T and the original 911 S.

The 911 S/T is a lightweight car that draws inspiration from the 1972 911 S. It features a naturally-aspirated flat-six engine from the 911 GT3 RS, coupled with a manual gearbox that offers shorter ratios and a single-mass flywheel. This combination makes for an exhilarating driving experience.

In addition to the 911 S/T, Porsche Design has unveiled the classic Puma Retro Sneaker to pay homage to the legendary 911 S 2.5. The sneaker is designed with a light blue exterior, a retro-grille-bad hangtag, and the number 56 on the heel, reminiscent of the Porsche 911 that participated in GT racing in 1972. Although it didn't bear the S/T name at the time, it was the first to incorporate "S" special racing components. The sneaker is further enhanced by red-orange laces that give it a Gulf Oil livery look.
