Porsche Design has launched today the new Sport Bounce:S2 collection which includes various luxury sportswear items. The Porsche Design Sport Bounce:S2 collections offers two designs of running shoes which represent a sequel of the January 2008 success. Back then, the previous model Porsche Design Sport Bounce:S2 running shoes received the Plus X Award and the German Red Dot Design Award. Times magazine also awarded them as one of the best 50 inventions of 2008. The Porsche Design Sport Bounce:S2 shoes feature a car-inspired suspension system that is able to transform vertical impact into forward propulsion. To do this, they are equipped with a specially engineered pivot mechanism.
Apart from the shoes, the new Porsche Design Sport Bounce:S2
collection also includes a jacket, a cap, a back pack, pants and other items.
The Porsche Design Sport Bounce:S2 price list will be announced at a later date.
Porsche Design Press Release:
Porsche Design and adidas mark their eighth season of collaboration with the debut of the
Porsche Design Sport Fall/Winter 2010 collection. This season spotlights a range of next-generation apparel, accessories and footwear inspired by the brand’s award-winning Bounce:S™ running shoe. The Bounce:S² collection embraces leading-edge technologies executed in premium materials and features the iconic mesh “exoskeleton” of the line’s namesake shoe.
Porsche Design Sport’s Bounce:S² running shoe is the touchstone of the new range and the latest issue of the revolutionary Bounce:S™. The original was launched in January 2008 and has been subsequently recognized with Europe’s
prestigious Plus X Award and the German Red Dot Design Award. That same year the renowned “Time” magazine awarded the high-tech running shoe as one of the best 50 inventions of 2008. Exclusively designed and developed for Porsche Design Sport, the Bounce:S™ features a car-inspired suspension system that transforms vertical impact into forward propulsion through a specially engineered pivot mechanism. The result is superior cushioning and elasticity with a higher rate of energy return. The upper’s innovative approach to comfort and design features a virtually seamless one-piece mesh shell that maximizes breathability and step-in comfort, while a flexible mesh “exoskeleton” builds
structure and guards against abrasion.
Executed in sleek, minimalist black and white, the Bounce:S² apparel range is engineered with obsessive attention to technical detail and an eye toward maximizing fitness and running performance. The Bounce:S² Jacket and Bounce:S² Pant fuse breathable, weather-resistant GORE™ Windstopper® fabric with stretchy tricot microfiber to deliver targeted weather protection with enhanced movement and fit. Both garments feature a soft brushed lining for warm, luxurious next-to-skin comfort. Complementing the apparel Bounce:S² products are the two Tech Tees which come in a short and long sleeve version.
The whole Porsche Design Sport Bounce:S² range of
accessories is defined by intelligent design, superior craftsmanship and clean, refined styling. The Bounce:S² Backpack features a zippered bottom compartment to separate shoes or wet clothes, a protective laptop pocket and stow-away hip holster padding. The Bounce:S² Gym Bag maximizes functionality with a large main compartment, quick-entry side pockets, and an easy-access slip zipper pocket. The Bounce:S² Necessaire’s sleek, geometric design optimizes function with interior mesh organizer pockets and a hidden shower-rail hook. All three incorporate the signature mesh “exoskeleton” detail.
The Porsche Design Sport Bounce:S² package exemplifies the brand’s relentless pursuit of comfort and style. The Porsche Design Sport collection will be available worldwide from July 2010 in selected high-end boutiques, adidas Sport Performance Concept Stores and Porsche Design Stores.
