A company like Porsche is always looking ahead. If not to avoid crashing around that fast-approaching corner, then to come up with the next advanced feat engineering, from the variable turbocharger to the dual-clutch transmission and everything in between. So while temperatures continue to drop, Porsche Design is already looking to the spring and summer with its latest sportswear collection.

The result of a longstanding collaboration with Adidas, the newest Porsche Design Sport collection features items for driving, running, swimming, sailing, tennis and more. There's a good 26 new items in the collection, which you can check out in the gallery below.

The Diamond Superstar is made of fine leather and is accessorized with real diamonds and Swarovski crystals. The diamonds are found on the shoe sides between the black stripes, and the crystals adorn the lace tips, lace-locks, and the Adidas logo tongue ornament (which also comes with a chain so it can be worn as a pendant if desired).

Nike Limited Edition Futsal Ball

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Nike must be jealous that Adidas got the official sponsorship for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, not to mention that they got to design the official game ball($130), because Nike has released a limited edition soccer ball "to celebrate the spirit of the World Cup." The white leather Futsal balls are decorated with an array of symbols that represent "diversity, behavior and skills shown by players," though Nike does not mention which symbol represents which player or skill. Any guess as to what the gnarled tree represents? Or the unicorn?

Only 64 of these balls will be produced and they will only be sold until the final game on July 9th, assuming that they don't sell out before then. Price: $225.

[Thanks, Dave]

NBA Finals Shoe

Filed under: Shoes

Somehow, it seems that we missed the boat on the NBA Finals Shoes. More than likely, it's because we're more interested in watching the World Cup than in watching basketball. Nevertheless, these limited edition shoes are pretty cool. Only 60 pairs were made - with 12 pairs were sold online and 48 pairs at the NBA store in New York. Each pair was individually decorated by graffiti artist Oscar Gale/Toast and sold for $175.

If NBA fans weren't so fanatical about their shoes, I'd expect to see a pair on eBay soon, but as it is, you might have to wait until after the finals season until anyone is willing to part with a pair.

Top 10 Women's Shoes for Spring

by Dakota Smith (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

What are the top trends in women's shoes this season? Think heels that are very, very high. Think wedges that tower. And think pointy heels that are super-aggressive. But the look isn't all tough, with feminine touches like bows, ribbons and polka dots softening the look for spring.

Look for plenty of fierce-looking, "Gladiator"-inspired footwear this spring, including Alexander McQueen's leather strappy sandal. Price: $695.

Filed under: Shoes

Fashion designer Stella McCartney has teamed up with Adidas to create the a³ Flyride, a new running shoe for women that uses the lightest heel-to-toe a3 cushioning system for women. The a³ Flyride was designed exclusively for women to be lighter, softer and more flexible.It also has breathability through the net mesh upper and sweat-absorbing and anti-odor treatments in the insole. The design includes an asymmetrical lacing system and a muted feminine color scheme including the signature Stella McCartney color of dusty rose. The a3 Flyride will be in stores in May and should sell for around 170 Euros ($205). You'd think for that price is would have some sort of gadgety feature like the Adidas One.
