Puma
The Puma company also know as Puma SE and officially branded as PUMA is a well known multinational company from German which is especially know for the production of footwear and sportswear.
Originally the company was formed in 1924 by two brothers from Germany, who started as the Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik. When the brothers were not getting along very well anymore they decided to split up in 1948 and started two different companies. Adidas and Puma. After the split up of the brothers Dassler, Rudolf Dassler started out with the company called Ruda. Later he changed this name into Puma, which was registered in 1948. In Puma shoe designs you can always distinguish the distinctive “formstripe” which is also used with clothing and other sports products made by the Puma brand.
Puma is mostly known for the production of high quality football shoes and sponsored various well known football heroes like Johan Cruijff, Pelé, Eusébio, Diego Maradona, Lothar Matthäus and Samuel Eto’o. And in the United States for example Puma is known for the suede basketball shoe which they introduced in 1968.
