Men's Puma Fashion Brand

One of the largest shoe, clothing, and sportswear brand. The company was founded in 1948 by Rudolf Dassler. Puma files in this directory as one of the largest shoe, clothing and sportswear brands - all three categories named, in that order - and as a 1948 founding by Rudolf Dassler, a date whose full meaning only arrives with the brother story below. A men's buyer meets few labels whose founding is a family division, and the division is the brand's first fact.

In 1924, Rudolf and his brother Adolf Dassler had jointly formed the company Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik. The relationship between the two brothers deteriorated until the two agreed to split in 1948, forming two separate entities, Adidas and PUMA. Twenty-four years of joint work in the Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik - the Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory, in the name's plain sense - ended in an agreed split, and the two entities it formed, Adidas and PUMA, became two of the world's great sport houses. The story is told without taking sides: the deteriorated relationship and the agreed split are the record.

PUMA SE of Herzogenaurach

PUMA SE, branded as PUMA, is a European multinational company that designs and manufactures athletic and casual footwear, apparel and accessories, headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria. The modern filing mirrors the opening's three categories with a multinational's precision: athletic and casual registers both named, footwear, apparel and accessories all manufactured and designed in house, and a headquarters that never left the Bavarian town of the brothers' factory. A men's Puma purchase therefore files two ways at once - athletic or casual - and the wording insists both are first-class lines of the same house, not a performance brand and its sideline.

PUMA has established a history of making fast product designs for the fastest athletes on the planet. PUMA is one of the world's leading sports brands which designs, develops, sells, and markets footwear, apparel and accessories. The speed sentence is the house motto in all but name - fast designs for the fastest athletes - and the closing summary widens the verb list to the full commercial cycle: designs, develops, sells and markets. Together they give the men's buyer the brand's own two tests: was it designed for speed, and does it belong to the footwear, apparel or accessories lines the house itself runs end to end?

Reading This Puma Record

Read as a buying guide, file the piece first as athletic or casual, then by line - footwear, apparel or accessories - and judge it against the speed record the house claims for itself. The directory's own About Puma company page, linked from this page, is the deeper company record behind this profile. The official Puma route is linked in References below.
