PUMA

Founded in 1924 by brothers Adolf and Rudolf Dassler, who developed shoes for gymnasiums. The brothers became independent in 1948, with Rudolf establishing his brand "Ruda." The name was changed to PUMA in 1949.

PUMA AG Rudolf Dassler Sport is a global sports brand based in Herzogenaurach, Germany. It manufactures and sells a wide range of products, including sports equipment, shoes, sportswear, and fashion items. In recent years, it has actively collaborated with high fashion.

To trace the history of PUMA, we go back to the early 20th century. The two Dassler brothers began their apprenticeship as shoemakers at their father's urging. Later, they became independent and established the Dassler Brothers Sports Shoe Company in 1920. In 1924, they developed gym shoes using leather soles with rubber instead of shoelaces. In 1925, the brand gained traction when the local sports association placed a large order for shoes.

However, the brand faced a crisis due to the Great Depression but regained momentum during the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

After World War II, production resumed, but in 1948, due to a family feud, the brothers decided to go their separate ways. Adolf founded Adidas, while Rudolf established Ruda, which was renamed PUMA in 1949. The name PUMA is derived from the American lion, the puma. (However, the PUMA logo features a cheetah.)

Along with Nike and Adidas, it is one of the world's leading sports-related product brands.
