When two creative powerhouses come together, it’s not just about launching a product, it’s about making a statement. The recently unveiled Porsche x Vollebak partnership marks the meeting of two forces driven by obsessive detail, futurist thinking, and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence.
The History of Porsche and Vollebak
From the team that gave the world the design icon that is the 911, and visionary machines like the 550 Spyder, Porsche has long defined what it means to craft an instantly recognisable object. The 911 is a silhouette that sits in the same cultural tier as the first Coca Cola bottle.
Clean lines, functional form, and seven decades of evolution without ever losing its soul that’s what Porsche is all about. Porsche’s design philosophy was shaped by Bauhaus principles, minimalism, clarity, and utility. It’s why the 911 looks like the future, even 60 years later.
The London-based innovators at Vollebak have built a cult following by asking big questions, not just about what clothing can be, but what it should be.
From jackets built with materials used in space exploration, to gear made for surviving extreme environments, Vollebak has never followed the rules. They’ve written their own.
Led by twin brothers Nick and Steve Tidball, Vollebak has quietly redefined performance wear for a new generation. It isn’t fashion. It’s high-function design for the world we’re heading into and that’s exactly what makes them the perfect partner for Porsche.
Where Porsche engineered machines that changed what driving felt like, Vollebak designs clothing that asks how we’ll live, move, and survive in the future.
A Shared Legacy
This partnership doesn’t come out of nowhere. Porsche’s legacy has always been rooted in moving forward. In the 1950s, they created the 550 Spyder: a car so low-slung you could step over it, but so fast it left Ferraris in the dust at Nürburgring and won its class at Le Mans.
That same car, driven by James Dean, could still turn heads today. And the legacy only grew stronger: Steve McQueen raced Porsche’s 917 on screen, and drove his own 911S in real life.
So What’s Coming?
Exact details are still under wraps, but the intent is clear: this isn’t just about a new drop or a limited-edition piece. It’s about pushing both brands into new territory, asking what design can look like in a world where innovation is constant and speed is a necessity. Expect futuristic materials and an expert level for details and performance that only Porsche and Vollebak could deliver.
