Puma made a shoe celebrating BMW's bizarre fabric-covered concept car
#HTE
Puma has collaborated with Designworks — BMW’s for-hire design agency — to make a new shoe that pays homage to one of the stranger concept cars of the last decade.
The X-CAT DISC takes styling cues from BMW’s GINA Light Visionary Model that debuted in 2008, a roadster with a seamless, silvery fabric pulled taut over a substructure where you’d normally expect metal panels. The car was ridiculous in all the ways you want a true concept car to be: when the swing doors opened, the cloth simply bunched up; when the headlights weren’t needed, they disappeared behind cloth “eyelids.” Whether you liked the design, you had to give credit to BMW for doing something radically different.
