PUMA sports shoes

Puma is a globally recognized German multinational corporation that designs and manufactures athletic and casual footwear, apparel, and accessories. The brand was founded in 1948 by Rudolf Dassler following a split from his brother Adolf 'Adi' Dassler, who went on to form Adidas. Since its inception, Puma has established itself as one of the world's leading sports brands, particularly known for its iconic 'formstrip' logo and its jumping cat emblem, as seen on the shoe in the image.

Most Puma products are manufactured in major production hubs across Asia, including Vietnam, China, Cambodia, and Indonesia, which account for the vast majority of their footwear production. The brand is headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, Germany. Today, Puma SE is a publicly traded company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. While Artemis S.A. (the holding company of the Pinault family) was previously the majority shareholder, Puma operates as an independent entity with a diversified global shareholder base, maintaining its identity as a premier European sports performance house.
