The Porsche Design Sport Spring/Summer 2010 Collection
Stuttgart/Herzogenaurach. Porsche Design Sport – the collaboration between adidas and Porsche Design – fuses performance technologies with highly refined male style. With the Spring/Summer 2010 collection Porsche Design Sport enters its seventh season.
Functionality, top quality technology and striking design set the Porsche Design Sport Spring/Summer 2010 range apart. "Driving", "Golf", "Running/Fitness", "Tennis", and "Water/Snow" are the categories that make up the collection of apparel, footwear and accessories. With each piece, exclusive materials are combined with performance-enhanced details and superior craftsmanship to create a signature look that is cutting-edge, modern and timeless.
For Spring/Summer 2010, Porsche Design Sport focuses on the "Water/Snow" category, with "Water" being the seasonal highlight. To test and develop the perfectly crafted Porsche Design Sport sailing range, 3-times Olympic gold medalist and 2-times America's Cup winner Jochen Schümann provided significant support, testimonials and advice.
The footwear highlight product is the "AC Bowman". Engineered in cooperation with Jochen Schümann, it is tailored for fast, flexible agility using shock-absorbing adiPRENE®. The fast-drying mesh upper and sticky rubber outsole for wet deck traction make this high performance item the perfect fit for inshore as well as offshore racing. The "Horizon II" marks adidas' 2nd approach to luxury sailing. Its premium design and innovative drainage system have made it a favourite of Jochen Schümann and his team.

In apparel, the "Spray Light Top" fuses technical outdoor performance with timeless style. The wind and waterproof GORE-TEX® Paclite® Shell offers superior breathability and includes a 28,000 mm-water column, while remaining extremely lightweight and packable. The "Spray Light Top", also engineered in cooperation with Jochen Schümann, includes other details such as a stow-away storm hood, waterproof half-zip and neoprene accents. Rounding off the highly functional sailing range are exceptional accessories like the "Navigator" and "Cargo" bags; these use waterproof materials in combination with the latest in bonding and seam sealing technology.
In "Running/Fitness" Porsche Design Sport introduces the "Bounce:S²" – the next generation of the premium running shoes "Bounce:S". The first of these was launched in January 2008 and has been recognized with several awards, including the "Plus X Award 2008", Europe's biggest technology, sport and lifestyle competition. That same year, an international jury of design experts granted the "Bounce:S" the German "Red Dot Design Award" for innovative design and the renowned "Time" magazine awarded the high-tech running shoes as one of the best 50 inventions of the year. The "Bounce:S²" takes a new approach to comfort
and design: a one piece and virtually seamless mesh outer layer engineered for breathability and step-in comfort is affixed to a futuristic RPU exoskeleton that brings structure to the shoe, while guarding it against abrasion.
The Porsche Design Sport collection will hit retail in January 2010 and will be available in selected high-end boutiques, adidas Sport Performance Concept Stores and Porsche Design Stores worldwide.
