Activewear brand PUMA and luxury carmaker Porsche collaborated on the Porsche Design RCT Shoes, which are high-performance sneakers made predominantly from sustainable materials.
The Porsche Design RCTs feature XETIC cushioning technology, which was developed in partnership with MIT that naturally adapts to the wearer's step for enduring comfort all day long. The micro-adjusting PUMA DISC dial closure system allows the wearer to rapidly strap into the shoe while maintaining a secure fit that is specifically tuned to the wearer's foot.
The Porsche Design RCTs have a yellow-accented light gray esthetic that projects an easygoing style. Branding on the sides of the shoes sport the Porsche and PUMA logos subtly, allowing the shoe's futuristic design concept to stand out. The rubber soles feature a unique wavy pattern that accentuates the streamlined look. The Porsche Design RCT shoes come in 'Glacier Gray.'
