AN EPIC STORY,
CARRIED FORWARD.
Two limited-edition designs, inspired by the Porsche 550 Coupé #152 and Guatemala’s victory in the 1953 Carrera Panamericana.
152 collection
What would Perera have crafted for that race?
That question became the starting point for PERERA 152. Looking back at the Porsche 550 Coupé that José “Chepito” Herrarte and Carlos González raced in the fourth Carrera Panamericana, we imagined how its story could take shape in footwear. The result is two original designs, bringing the character of the period into the present through proportion, material, and craft.

152. A Guatemalan Victory.
Behind the number were two Guatemalans taking on one of the most demanding road races of their time. Their story gave this collection its starting point, and a connection that reaches from the roads of Mexico to our workshop in Antigua Guatemala.
An original design, developed from the ground up.
We began with a new last, exploring proportions and lines that could carry the character of the era. Brown leather, cream stitching, and measured touches of yellow became our vocabulary. Each decision translated something of the car’s presence into footwear with an identity of its own.
Two expressions of the same story.
GT 152 and GTX 152 began with the same question. Each explores it through a different silhouette, sharing a palette, an attention to construction, and a connection to the car that inspired them.
