Like sneaker freaks, who need to have those Nike high-tops they had (or didn't) as a child. Or Porsche, with their obscenely bright-colored 911 GT3 RS. The two may seem at diametrically opposite ends of the spectrum, but it was only a matter of time before someone brought them together.

Doesn't that cover anyone who buys an overpriced Beetle?

these aren't really fancy shoes, these air max could probably be made on nike id for 100 bucks

As you're standing next to your 911, waiting for the tow truck because you engine just grenaded for the second time, it important to have high visibility footwear...for safety.
