Piaggio has previewed their upcoming Vespa 46 at the EICMA 2011 in Milan. Based on the MP6 prototype, which originally released in 1946, the brand combines vintage styling and modern technology in the scooter. The scooter is set for a 2012 release, coming in both 125 and 155cc versions. The aluminum body, seat construction and overall choice of materials looks fantastic. This might be your best bet when it comes to a new scooter, in terms of design.

After presenting to you already a couple of styles of the adidas x Vespa Spring 2009 collection, which is part of the adidas 60th anniversary celebration, we show you the remaining footwear from the collection today.

There are a couple of nice new styles in the line-up. Overall we think adidas did a pretty good job, translating the classic Vespa feeling into footwear. These days you can never be sure, but other brands might have started printing Vespas all over the shoes. The rather discrete metal Vespa logo is definitely the better way to go.

Have a look at the new adidas x Vespa sneakers, that will be releasing in the next couple of weeks, after the jump.
