Porsche Taps Puma For Sneakers Celebrating Automaker’s 75th Anniversary
Fans of Porsche have a double reason to rejoice as the supercar maker teams up with PUMA to introduce two exclusive sneaker collections.
Celebrating both the automaker’s 75 years in the business and the iconic 911’s 60th anniversary, these limited-edition sneakers are designed to encapsulate the spirit of the brand’s storied legacy.
The Rennsport Reunion 7—Mirage Sport Tech athletic sneakers pay tribute to the imminent gathering of Porsche aficionados, set to take place at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca from September 28 to October 1, 2023.
The footwear offers a seamless blend of racing flair and urban style, boasting special Porsche Rennsport Reunion branding on the tongue, insole, and shoe box.
Its distinctive checkered flag design on the heel, coupled with the iconic red and blue accent colors, further echoes the brand’s racing heritage. Customers can opt for a pair in either black or red.
On the other hand, the Heritage and Retro Sneakers are tailored to commemorate the 60-year milestone of the legendary Porsche 911.
These shoes take inspiration from the 1972 Porsche 911 S 2.5, with a narrow suede leather silhouette in a light blue color scheme, sporting red contrast stitching and the starting number 56 on the heel.
Limited to 1,972 pairs to honor the birth year of the Porsche 911 S 2.5, each sneaker is individually numbered, adding a touch of exclusivity.
In addition, the Heritage Sneaker draws inspiration from the current Porsche 911 S/T, featuring a sporty leather silhouette in a gray hue reminiscent of the anniversary car’s exterior color.
Cognac-brown tones on the lining mirror the vehicle’s interior, while the starting number 63 on the heel commemorates the birth year of the Porsche 911.
Just 1,963 pairs have been made to pay homage to the first generation of the 911. Just like its counterpart, each Heritage Sneaker is individually numbered, creating a unique connection to Porsche’s history.
The Rennsport Reunion 7—Mirage Sport Tech shoes will retail at US$150, while the Porsche Heritage and Retro Sneakers will be priced at US$160.
