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 occasion, the German automaker has introduced the Porsche 911 S/T and released two sneaker designs.

The new 911 S/T is inspired by the 1972 911 S and is the lightest car in Porsche's lineup. It features a 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 launched 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, and it even has a retro-grille-bad hangtag design and the number 56 on the heel, which represents 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 to incorporate "S" special racing components. The sneaker's red-orange laces give it a Gulf Oil livery look.
