A História Ilustrada do Walkman da SONY - série Sports - ep.23- 2001: WM-FS221

 

2001 WM-FS221: The Last Yellow Sports Walkman

The WM-FS221 closed the original Sports Walkman era. It offered up to 32 hours of battery life, digital tuning, auto preset scanning, and expanded radio bands including TV and weather. After this, Sony dropped the industrial yellow identity and relaunched Sports Walkman in softer white forms for a different design era.

For more than 15 years, the yellow Sports Walkman held its place as one of Sony’s most recognizable looks. It began as a practical answer to rain and splashes, then stayed in the lineup long enough to become a symbol of the 1980s and early 1990s on its own.
