Porsche 911 S/T Puma Sneakers: The Must-Have Car-Inspired Shoes

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

The new 911 S/T is a lightweight car that takes inspiration from the 1972 911 S. It features a naturally-aspirated flat-six engine from the 911 GT3 RS, paired with a manual gearbox. The car's shorter ratios and single-mass flywheel provide an exhilarating driving experience.

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, with a retro-grille-bad hangtag design. It even features the iconic 56 starting number on the heel, reminiscent of the Porsche 911 that participated in GT racing in 1972.

Although the 1972 model 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, further enhancing its retro appeal.
