Porsche 911 S/T Puma Sneakers: The Ultimate Car-Themed Footwear

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

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, paired with a manual gearbox and a single-mass flywheel. This combination creates a thrilling driving experience.

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 participated in GT racing in 1972.

Although the car did not officially bear the S/T name at that time, it was the first to incorporate "S" special racing components. The Puma Retro Sneaker also features red-orange laces, giving it a Gulf Oil livery look.
