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 milestone, the German marque 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 new 911 S/T takes direct inspiration from the 1972 911 S and is the lightest car in Porsche's lineup. What's 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.

Porsche Design pays homage to the classic 911 S 2.5 with the release of the Puma Retro Sneaker. This sneaker is colored in the same light blue exterior as the iconic car, and even includes a retro-grille-bad hangtag design. The 56 starting number on the heel is a nod to the Porsche 911 that participated in GT racing in 1972. Although it didn't officially bear the S/T name back then, it was the first to incorporate "S" special racing components. The red-orange laces of the sneaker give it a Gulf Oil livery look.
