And they attributed the historic feat which saw 114 wins and nine constructor championships to an independent team of F1. While the team is now miserably struggling, as it finished last in 2022. But a throwback to an F1 sneakerhead’s collector item has the new and veteran fans drooling over the creation, alike.

Tom McCluskey, who himself is a sneakerhead and Formula 1 enthusiast, posted a throwback on his official Twitter account he called a monstrosity. He posted a series of four pictures of Formula racing-inspired shoes that were manufactured by FILA decades ago. While many couldn’t even identify the old McLaren colors and wanted the Papaya colors for the Woking team-inspired shoes, the almost unanimous and echoing among the people was in favor of the iconic British team.

When the Williams family bowed out of the team at Monza a few years ago, Claire Williams described her father’s legacy as an extraordinary one. And the iconic colors and make of the sneakers probably struck a chord with the fans.
