It's not like Puma is a "fashion label" just trying to look cool. They make other stuff for motorsports and have for years. It's only natural they'd get into this after the launch of their boots. |

And by and large the reviews of their gear have been excellent.

Puma is an "athletic" sports gear company, in that they make money selling running shoes, soccer shoes, athletic apparel, etc. They aren't making the bulk of their profit off their motorcycle gear, which makes it kind of gimmicky. I tend to stay away from gimmicks. Just my PP. |

Although Puma is largely a lifestyle athletic company. They have many dealings in motorsports.
"Puma is the main producer of enthusiast driving shoes and race suits. They are the prime producer in both Formula One and NASCAR especially." Just because it isn't the only thing a company does doesn't mean they don't do it well. I see what you're saying, I just think it's a narrow view. |
