Porsche x PUMA

We partnered with PUMA to create a set of sneakers inspired by the 911 Turbo. Popular period-specific paint colors. The iconic rear wing. Lightbars, interiors, and body lines. All used to create a collection of shoes as loud, fast, and captivating as the 911 Turbo itself. To top it all off, all 8 models of shoe SOLD OUT on the release day. Check out some of the press it garnered.
