The origins for Puma, one of the leading athletic footwear, apparel and accessories companies in the world, began in 1924 when Rudolph Dassler, Puma's original founder, started a manufacturing company with his brother Adolf. Their family-owned business originally produced slippers and outdoor shoes, yet they soon saw a need for athletic shoes in the market. Despite the economic depression of the late 20s, their business took off. And, during the 1928 Olympics they gained national attention when nearly half of the participating athletes wore Dassler shoes.
The Dassler's business continued to grow in the 30s, and reached epic proportions when Jessie Owens won four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics while wearing their shoes. Everything was going great for the Dassler brothers until 1948 when a bitter family dispute divided the brothers and the company split in two. Rudolph started Puma Schuhfabrik Rudolf Dassler (currently known as Puma), and Adolf founded Adidas (derived from his nickname "Adi" and the first three letters of his last name "Das").
Puma continued to thrive under Rudolph's guidance (and Adidas hasn't done too badly either). Throughout the years they were the first to introduce many new footwear innovations, including vulcanized soles on soccer shoes, uniquely shaped soles on running shoes to enhance natural motion, athletic shoes with a Velcro strap, and the Puma Disc system, which replaces laces with a series of wires. After Rudolph's passing in 1974 his son Armin was appointed CEO, and in 1986 Puma went public.
Today, Puma has an impressive and versatile collection of footwear, apparel and accessories. They have collaborated with top designers, including Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalayan. The motorsports collection includes co-branded sneakers with industry leaders Ferrari and Ducati. And, the fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt, endorses the innovative Faas, Puma's latest, technologically advanced running sneaker.
Although Puma continues to evolve and diversify their collection, they still remain true to their origins by re-releasing the classics. The Puma Suede, Basket, Easy Rider, Roma and more are now available in a wide array of colors, patterns and materials. Whether you are looking to lace up a classic, get stylish with a pair of sneakers, or enjoy the comfort of modern footwear innovation, Puma has a style to fit your style.

It's a very well put together shoe. The color scheme works well with most of the clothes that are in stores during summer or spring seasons, so it'll match a lot of things.

Puma and sneaker store/brand Undefeated have teamed up once again on a sneaker that has undeniable appeal. The Puma Clyde X Undefeated Luxe is a contemporary take on the classic Puma Clyde, the signature sneaker for the always stylish Clyde Frasier. The first difference you'll notice on this design from the original Clyde is the removal of the Puma Formstripe, which is how they got the nickname, the "Stripe Off." But, the differences don't stop there. They also feature a leather tongue tag with an embossed Undefeated logo, gold Puma Clyde text on the side of the heel, and a contrasting leather accent piece on the back heel. The Puma Clyde X Undefeated Luxe is available in 4 coloways, including White, Gray, Black and Forest. Find the entire colorful collection at Sneakerhead.com.
