PUMA Shoes & Accessories
HISTORY OF PUMA SHOES
In turbulent Germany between the world wars, the Dassler brothers started a shoe company in their mother’s laundry. From their humble starts as local athletic shoe cobblers, the Dasslers didn’t make their big break until the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, when they proudly sponsored Jesse Owens: the now-famous gold-medal winning African-American sprinter.
With the strain of WWII and American occupation, the Dassler family business broke under pressure. Adi Dassler went on to found adidas, while his brother Rudolf Dassler started RUDA, which later became known as PUMA. These two German shoe brands have been rivals ever since – but at Shoe Carnival, we love them both!
