Initiate a conversation about shoes, and PUMA's name is bound to surface. With its German origins dating back to 1948, Rudolf Dassler, after having a falling out with his brother (who later started Adidas), registered the company called "PUMA Schuhfabrik Rudolf Dassler”. Since its inception, its elemental design and smart updates have strived to redefine athletic potential, and the brand soon did so with its many accolades, the first one being with Heinz Fütterer, who matched the 100-meter world record in Yokohama, Japan. 

Anyone who's into fitness, hiking, or just generally leads an active lifestyle surely owns a pair of PUMA shoes. If you are someone who's looking to invest, here is our curation of the best PUMA shoes that should definitely be on your radar.
