Puma shoes have been very popular since the nineteen eighties. They are marked by a small picture of a puma and a formstripe that lies across both sides of the shoes. Rudolf Dassler started the company in 1948. His brother Adi was the founder of the Adidas line of footwear, which is also a very popular line of sneakers. Rudolf and Adi first formed the company Gebrder Dassler Schuhfabrik that consisted of both the Adidas and Puma entities. The two entities were separated in 1948.

The first pair of Puma shoes was the Puma Atom, which were cleats for sports like football and soccer. These were followed up by the Puma Formstripe, which were a more normal pair of footwear for casual wear.

What Makes Pumas so Popular?

Pumas became so popular during the break dancing era of the eighties. The eighties was one of the most fashionable eras of all times. These sneakers caught on so well because of their very stylish and cool look. They also provided the wearers with comfortableness that not many brands of footwear have. Customers were able to wear Pumas for any activity, which made them a very versatile brand. Break dancing was an art form in which the dancers engaged in various moves on the floor. These fast movements required a very strong and vibrantly colored shoe. Puma provided that.
