ARCHIVE PIECE / HISTORICAL TECHWEAR

An extremely rare piece of technical outerwear history: the 2007 Adidas x Porsche Design Gore-Tex Pro Shell featuring the iconic W.L. Gore AirVantage Insulation System.

Conceived shortly after Porsche Design entered its groundbreaking partnership with Adidas-Salomon AG in 2005, this jacket embodies Ferdinand Alexander Porsche's core philosophy: "Optimising function while reducing form to the essentials." Released at an original retail price of approximately $1,000+ USD in 2007, this piece predates and paved the way for iconic Nike ACG AirVantage releases, making it a true grail for archive fashion and gorpcore collectors.

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS & DETAILS
Membrane: Authentic 3-layer Gore-Tex Pro Shell (100% waterproof and fully breathable).

AirVantage Technology: Features strategic internal inflatable air chambers designed to allow the wearer to manually adjust thermal insulation.

Ventilation & Fit: Integrated pit-zips for underarm climate control, breathable mesh lining, and a concealable hood tucked into the collar.

Storage: Multiple utility zip pockets internally and externally with precision paneling.

CONDITION REPORT & TRANSPARENCY
This jacket is in excellent vintage condition for a 17+ year-old technical piece:

Fabric & Membrane: 100% functional Gore-Tex. No rips, no tears, no repairs, and no structural alterations.

Washing History: Unwashed / Never laundered. The original membrane integrity, DWR coating, and factory seam-taping remain preserved without chemical degradation from washing machines.

AirVantage System: The air chamber bladder network is 100% airtight and fully functional (holds air perfectly without leaks). Note: The original blow-tube attachment is missing, but the valve can easily be inflated directly.

Zippers: All main zippers, pocket zips, and pit zips work smoothly. The main front zipper slightly splits open about 1 cm at the very bottom pin when fully closed, but functions without issue.
