Double celebration for Porsche with Puma collaboration
To celebrate its 75th anniversary, high-performance automotive brand Porsche has teamed up with footwear brand Puma to help celebrate two milestones in the company’s history.
In collaboration with Puma, the release of two limited-edition sneaker collections will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911. The Retro Sneaker, the first in the collection, symbolises the historic 911 silhouette, inspired by a specific model, the 1972 Porsche 911 S 2.5. It comes in a blue suede colour scheme with red contrast stitching and will have a limited production of just 1,972 pairs, in tribute to the birth year of the car. Individual sneaker numbering is found on a leather flap.
The second model in the collection, the Heritage sneaker, takes its motivation from the current Porsche 911 S/T. Featuring a “sporty, leather silhouette”, the grey upper contrasts with a cognac-brown lining, drawn from the anniversary car’s colouring. The starting number 63, representing the 911 birth year, is displayed on the heel for this model. Again, a limited run of 1,963 pairs is being made.
