Car-Themed Sneakers Worth 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 mark this special occasion, Porsche has introduced the Porsche 911 S/T and released two sneaker designs.

The Porsche 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, paired with a manual gearbox with shorter ratios and a single-mass flywheel.

In addition to the 911 S/T, Porsche Design has unveiled the classic Puma Retro Sneaker to pay homage to the oldie but goodie 911 S 2.5. The sneaker is colored in the same light blue exterior as the car, with a retro-grille-bad hangtag design and the number 56 on the heel, reminiscent of the Porsche 911 that went GT racing in 1972.

Although the 1972 Porsche 911 didn't officially bear the S/T name, it was the first to incorporate "S" special racing components. The sneaker's red-orange laces add a touch of the Gulf Oil livery look to complete the design.
