The Dassler Brothers

Long known as the premium brand of athletic footwear and sportswear, Puma’s origins go back to 1924 when the Dassler brothers founded Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik (Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory). Dassler shoes became a huge success with world class athletes sporting their products in Olympic Games. In 1948 the two brothers parted ways and established separate companies; Rudolf Dassler initially named his company Ruda, and later changed it to Puma.

Booming success after World War

Puma produced its first ‘Atom’ football boots during the same year marking the company’s long term association with the sport. In the first post-war football match, Herbert Burdenski, scorer of West Germany’s first post-war goal wore Puma boots, escalating the brand’s popularity well into the 1950s. What followed was a series of innovative breakthroughs in the football shoes arena with screw-in studs and refreshingly original designs that stamped Puma’s leadership in the athletic footwear space.
