Porsche Asia Pacific and Puma reveal sneaker venture

By CARSIFU | 28 May 2023


BANGKOK: Sneaker fans, take note. Porsche has teamed up with Puma to create a colourful anniversary sneaker collection for Thailand’s young dreamers, while teaming up with 88rising to discover rising talent in the country.

Porsche and Puma have released a batch of limited-edition sneakers as part of "Dreams in Colours", a celebration of three decades of enduring Porsche passion in Thailand.

Alongside the collaboration, Porsche has partnered with pioneering global music and media company 88rising to run a #Dreamsincolours TikTok competition, which aims to empower aspiring Thai artists to achieve their dreams.

The sneaker collection has been designed to complement the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS – 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition, a limited-edition model created to mark three decades of Porsche in Thailand.

The sports car was unveiled earlier this year in a choice of seven different colours, representing the different days of the week in Thai culture, and sold out shortly after it was launched.

Like the celebratory 911 Carrera GTS, the Porsche x Puma California Pro 911 ‘Dreams in Colours’ Edition comes in seven bright hues: Signal Yellow, Ruby Star, Signal Green, Pastel Orange, Riviera Blue, Ultra Violet and Fire Red.

In a nod to 1993 – the year that Thailand officially began importing and distributing Porsche cars – just 1,993 pairs will be created as part of the colourful new collaboration.

Each Puma California Pro sneaker is panel-matched to the correct Porsche Paint-to Sample colours from the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS – 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition, and crafted using quality materials.

Like the owners of the limited-edition 911, sneaker fans and aspiring young Thai dreamers can pick the sneaker colour that corresponds to the day they were born for an extra dose of good luck.

The sneaker also boasts bespoke asymmetric details, for example the Porsche Paint-to-Sample colour code on the left tongue and the corresponding day on the right tongue.

The insoles on each side are also different: on the left, a Classic Porsche 964 and on the right, the 911 Carrera GTS – 30 Years Porsche Thailand Edition, matching the colour and day of the sneaker.

Intricate details such as the sneaker’s edition number, a contemporary "911" logo on the rear pull tab, a special box and a set of additional exclusive accessories complete the collection.

The limited-edition Porsche x Puma California Pro 911 "Dreams in Colours" Edition will be released today, and will be available from Carnival Bangkok, and at both Porsche Studios Iconsiam and Siam Paragon, as well as at selected Puma stores in Thailand.

The sneakers will retail for 6,500 baht (RM862).
