PUMA Mayze Sneaker

Puma is a global sportswear brand recognized for its iconic feline logo and innovative athletic gear. The shoe depicted is characteristic of the Puma Mayze collection, known for its distinct stacked platform sole and street-wear aesthetic.

Puma was founded in Germany after a split between brothers Rudolf and Adolf Dassler, with Rudolf establishing Puma while Adolf founded Adidas. Today, the brand remains headquartered in Germany but operates a massive global supply chain. Most Puma footwear is manufactured in major textile hubs including Vietnam, China, and Indonesia.

As of the mid-2020s, Puma SE remains a publicly traded company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. While it was previously owned by the French luxury group Kering, Kering spun off most of its stake to its shareholders. The Artemis Group (the Pinault family's holding company) remains a significant shareholder, but Puma operates as an independent, publicly-listed entity.
