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 occasion, the German automaker 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 and 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. These sneakers are colored in the same light blue exterior as the car and feature a retro-grille-bad hangtag design. The heel of the sneaker even bears the number 56, which is a nod to the Porsche 911 that participated in GT racing in 1972. Although it didn't officially carry the S/T name at the time, it was the first to incorporate "S" special racing components. The red-orange laces of the sneaker give it a Gulf Oil livery look.
