[Porsche](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-and-puma) Design Sport and [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-adidas-x-moon-boot) worked together to bring even more to some of the most well-loved adidas models -- using the gear worn by spies for inspiration.

In order to do so, both teams reconsidered the sneakers and added more useful elements, making for products that are ultra-sleek in design, [weatherproof and incredibly comfortable to wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-gazelle). Although the former adidas models aren't lacking in comfort and functionality all that much as is, the revitalized versions make the sneakers more suitable to the winter season -- allowing consumers to trudge through snow and slush without getting their socks wet.

These versions are available in both mid and high-tops as well, meaning that consumers can choose a style that best suits their look and the levels of snow that they think they might encounter.
