Porsche is celebrating not only its 75th anniversary as a brand but also the 60th anniversary of the iconic 911 sports car. To commemorate this milestone, the German automaker has recently introduced the Porsche 911 S/T. Along with the car's launch, Porsche also included a stylish and luxurious watch. Now, they have taken it a step further by releasing two sneaker designs that pay tribute to both the 911 S/T and the original 911 S that served as its inspiration.

The new 911 S/T is a lightweight car that draws direct inspiration from the 1972 911 S model. What makes it even more impressive is that it features the naturally-aspirated flat-six engine from the 911 GT3 RS, paired with a manual gearbox that boasts shorter ratios and a single-mass flywheel. This combination results in an exhilarating driving experience.

In addition to the 911 S/T, Porsche Design has also launched the classic Puma Retro Sneaker to honor the beloved 911 S 2.5. These sneakers are designed with a light blue exterior, reminiscent of the original car's color. They also feature a retro-grille-bad hangtag design and the number 56 on the heel, which pays homage to the Porsche 911 that participated in GT racing in 1972. Although it did not officially carry the S/T name back then, it was the first to utilize "S" special racing components. The red-orange laces add a touch of the iconic Gulf Oil livery look to the sneakers.
