HEEL TREAD HT-PASHA-ON-Socks
10,00€
Vintage Porsche fabric for your feet.
Let’s face it. Car interiors have become dull. One look at the inside of a modern car and chances are you’ll be instantly bored.
But once upon a time, the good fellows at Stuttgart fought (and won) the battle against dull interiors with some pretty wild pattern and color options on their car seats.
One of the most notorious became known as the Porsche Pasha. Designed in the late 70’s and first released on the 928, it combines racing and disco-psychedelic genes, a pattern that evokes the movement of a checkered flag waving – come on… use your imagination!
We love the excess of it all and went a little crazy ourselves with the color combinations.
For the discerning Petrol Head. Nerdy but stylish.

The car that invented the hot hatch set a pretty high bar for all that came after it.
But its birth wasn’t easy…
The prototype was based on a Scirocco, with an EA827 engine with dual carburettors and a lowered and stiffened suspension. When this prototype was driven by Volkswagen’s Chief of Research, he objected to the harsh suspension and excessive noise from the intake system and declared the car “undriveable”. Nevertheless the VW Golf GTI team preservered and ended up assembling a truly special automobile.
Gunhild Liljequist was tasked with creating a set of features that would set the GTI’s interior apart from the normal Golf. Her contributions became car interior design legends: the bright Tartan plaid upholstery and the dimpled golf-ball-like gearshift knob, making this sock design sort of a no-brainer for us.

Although beautifuly styled by Pininfarina and a huge commercial hit in Europe, the Peugeot 405 family saloon was not exactly what most would call an exciting car.
But then came Peugeot Talbot Sport with the turbochargers. The 405 T16 Grand Raid became a jaw dropping coupé with top rally capabilities and, in the hands of Ari Vatanen, broke the Pikes Peak record in 1988 and had two consecutive wins of the Paris-Dakar in the following years.
We went with the the impossibly cool Dakar livery as the inspiration for this design,
because… look at it!

“Racing is the best way to test production cars and victory is the best sales tool.”
– Jean Rédélé, Racing Pilot and Founder of Alpine
The Alpine A110 has been recreated for the modern era, but its original story began six decades ago with Jean Rédélé and the first A110 – and, évidemment, a lot of racing in the Alps (hence, the name Alpine) while eating baguettes au fromagge. Rédélé, also knew that lighter cars go faster, because the A110, although sometimes equipped with less powerful engines than its direct competitors, weighed about as much as a soufflé.
In its many versions throughout the 60’s and 70’s, it won almost every rally it competed in, including Monte Carlo Rally and was crowned the first World Rally champion in 1973. Couple that with a Le Mans win and it’s easy to understand why the A110 remains the stuff of folklore in France.
A glorious racing history stretching back over 60 years, that only received its coup de grâce by the introduction of the revolutionary mid-engined Lancia Stratos.

The maddest hot hatch of the 80s makes its way to our garage. The Renault 5 (R5) Turbo designed by Bertone, was at the time the most powerful production French car with its 160 hp 1.4 turbo engine mounted in the trunk and insanely big wheel arches and air vents. Originally built to replace the aging Alpine A110 and compete with the dominating Lancia Stratos, it enjoyed immediate, although limited, success in the european rally scene, with its crowning achievement being a 1981 Monte Carlo Rally victory at the hands of Jean Ragnotti – fun fact, Carlos Sainz also drove one! Unfortunately it would soon be outclassed by the emergence of Group B and its monstrous machines, especially the 4-wheel drive competitors with a clear dirt track advantage over the 2-wheel rear drive R5 Turbo, even with the 350 hp evolution of the Maxi Turbo. Proof that cult status can be achieved even without a long list of victories. Only 1600 were ever produced but you can still get a pair of them right now! 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane. We use seamless knitting to create a sock with no stitches.

It gave us the first BMW M3. It is by far the best looking 80’s sedan, it has the coolest stance and the coolest DTM paint job that made our life very very easy… Can you tell it’s one of our favorites?

With ten official versions set apart by roman numerals, each new one poised to rule over all that came before it, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is one of the great Japanese dynasties.
Despite it’s humble origins as a family sedan, with the help of Mitsubishi’s performance division Ralliart, that transformed it into a car-shaped toy, it won 4 consecutive WRC titles at the hands of Tommi Mäkinen, from 1996 to 1999.
All hail the Emperor of the Rising Sun!

“If God was a machine, it would definitely be an F40” – Enzo Ferrari *
The best Ferrari’s were always built with a particular purpose. The F40 was designed for speed and performance, a car specifically engineered to beat the Porsche 959. This meant that it that it would need to become the first production car to reach the mythical 200 mph mark – not to mention the, at the time unheard of, 0-62 mph time of 4.1s. To achieve its purpose, a 2.9L twin-turbo V8 putting out close to 500 hp was mounted in the back and extensive use of carbon, kevlar and magnesium made it race car light. It also probably didn’t hurt that the expression “true Ferrari” was commonly thrown around by the team that developed the F40.
It was also, from the very beginning, the last Ferrari to have Enzo’s touch. Both him and the team knew at the time that this would be the last Ferrari that “Il Commendatore” would ever personally sign off on.
No wonder then, that it turned out to be a “true Ferrari”.

From back when watching Formula One was like watching a soap opera – it had no lack of controversy, cheating, moral conflict, tragedy and more than a few plot twists. Michael Schumacher drove it like he stole it and ended up taking the Benetton B194 to his first of many, many Drivers’ Championship titles in 1994 – although the FW16 was able to secure the Constructors’ Championship for Renault-Williams that year.
For us it was the Benetton/Mild Seven gorgeous livery that sealed the deal – cigarettes might be bad for you but didn’t they use to make all the best liveries?
* a very special thanks to Wout Jonasse for this great design idea!

Esprit. Lotus Esprit.
The Lotus Esprit S1 was the first version of the mythical british model, a car that became known for its avant garde shape and great handling mostly due to Lotus’ relentless weight reduction obsession.
But it was when it plunged into the Mediterranean and transformed in to an impossibly cool submarine in one of the most surprising car chases in any 007 movie, a move that made Bond and car fans around the world gasp. As well as being an amphibian it could shoot torpedoes, drop sea mines and launch surface to air missiles. If only modern SUV’s could keep up with 1970’s technology…
