Premium Leather Used for This Collection

Rudolf Dassler, the founder of PUMA. To honor his achievements, PUMA has released the "RUDOLPH DASSLER LEGACY COLLECTION" sneakers, named after him.

The design is based on PUMA's acclaimed past masterpieces, rendered in a pure white. Premium leather, developed specifically for this collection, is used for the materials.

The tongue is made of nylon and features the blue, red, green, and yellow colors used as contrast in sports shoes. The white and contrast colors create a palette that enhances each other.

Additionally, the logo registered when the brand name and first logo were established in October 1948, the early days of the company, is included as a gold charm. The design features the classic logo with a puma crouching over the letter "D." This further emphasizes the special nature of the collection.

The laces are also made of cotton, just like the originals. Notably, the "ROMA" model in this collection is produced in its 1968 specification, lacking the F.O.T (Free Of Tendon) on the heel. The lineup includes a total of five models.

The "Rudolf Dassler Legacy Collection" is a truly luxurious collection, packed with meticulous attention to materials, details, and manufacturing methods.
