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, the German automaker 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 is a lightweight car that draws inspiration from the 1972 911 S. It features a naturally-aspirated flat-six engine sourced from the 911 GT3 RS, paired with 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. 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. This number represents the Porsche 911 that participated in GT racing in 1972, although it did not officially bear the S/T name at that time. The red-orange laces of the sneaker give it a Gulf Oil livery look.
