New Porsche-adidas collection

15/12/2008


Porsche Design and adidas have presented a new sports clothing, footwear and accessories collection for spring-summer 2009. This is the fifth collection that the two companies have worked on together, following the launch of the first range in January 2007.

The latest collection has five categories: water-snow, running-fitness, driving, golf and tennis.

Among the highlights are the products specially developed for sailing and water-related activities, including a Storm jacket that features the c_change membrane technology from Schoeller.

The Horizon is one of the highlights in footwear. It is adidas’ first luxury shoe, specially engineered for sailing and water related activities. Exclusively developed for the Porsche Design Sport Collection it features a drainage system throughout the foot-bed and sole for optimal deviation of water. In addition a non-marking and high abrasion resistant rubber sole with multidirectional grip enables a quicker response over a wet deck.

The colour palette of the fifth Porsche Design Sport range extends its focus beyond its signature colours of classic black, white and titanium to also include light sand, cedar green and light scarlet.

The collection will hit retail in January 2009 and will be available in selected high-end stores, adidas Sport Performance concept stores and Porsche Design Stores worldwide.
