L'Art de L'Automobilie works in collaboration with Salmon on a special speedy trail running shoe in the form of the Porsche 911 GT1. As the namesake suggests, the shoe is inspired by the iconic racecar and it is designed by its bright elements and components that nod to the rare vintage cars.
The details of the car can be seen throughout the silhouette starting with the noticeable colorway palette that sees hues of blue, red, and white on both sneakers. It nods to the Porsche 911 GT1 car and to the colors on the French flag as both brands that are joining in this collaboration are French companies. Other details include the dots on the shoe inspired by the BBS racing wheels.
