Puma Shoes - Sponsors Of Half The Worlds Football Teams

Dictionary meaning : Puma : A large solitary cat belonging to the feline family, having the greatest range of any terrestrial mammal and an extremely capable stalk and ambush predator. Hardly something to be worn on your feet! No people, I am not talking about poaching and animal hunting. Like its namesake, Puma, is a German based multinational company that is equally respected in its field of expertise. One of the earliest shoe manufacturing companies, PUMA started off in 1948, just before the end of the World War II. The history of the setting up of the company is a very interesting read. Let me try to explain it to you.

Born to a worker in a shoe factory, Rudolph Dassler and Adolf Dassler were brothers with big dreams in a war ravaged Germany. Wanting to do their part for the fatherland, both brothers served their time in the army and found a small shoe factory in the back of their house in their mother's laundry. In the 1936 Olympic Games, Adolf Dassler drove to the Olympic Village and persuaded American super star sprinter Jesse Owens to put spikes on the bottom of his shoes. After Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals, the success story of the Dassler shoes become a global phenomenon.

But their success was short lived. Before the fall of Germany, tension was rife between the two brothers and after Rudi Dassler was captured, both brothers had split for good. Adi Dassler set up his company and named it Adidas, the second largest shoe manufacturing company in the world, and Rudi names his RuDa.

Later that year Ruda changed name to PUMA, and sponsored many footballers of Germany's national football team. So much so, that the scorer of Germany's first post war goal was wearing PUMA boots. Over the years, Rudi's expertise and willingness to work aid off great dividends and soon the world was wearing PUMA shoes. Football star Pele, stopped the final minutes of the 1970 FIFA world cup to tie his shoelaces thus giving the world precious minutes of his PUMA boots. These days, Puma sponsors half of the world's football teams, tons of players worldwide and sponsors a myriad of other sports and players. PUMA also specialises in creating sports apparel football apparel, jump suits and track suits. You can find out more about nike and puma shoes at http://www.retronikeairshoes.com

PUMA's famous Complete series provides a wide variety of features to customers worldwide. PUMA's other famous shoes involve shoes designed for sports like running, basketball and most importantly football. PUMA has tie ups with 2006 FIFA world cup winners, Italy and are the main sponsors for the team. They are also main sponsors of Formula 1 teams like Ferrari and BMW and have released their PUMA - Ferrari and PUMA BMW apparel series. PUMA since its inception as a small company on a hillside has Germany has come a long way but never really forgotten its roots. For PUMA, it's always customers first.

Only Buy A Designer Prom Dress That Fits Your Body Shape

It's tempting to see a beautiful designer prom dress and then go straight out and buy it. However, beautiful it may be, but not every dress is going to look gorgeous on every woman. Certain gowns are made for certain body shapes and you need to make sure that the dress you buy complements your figure, complementing, rather than emphasizing certain parts of your body. Here are some tips to help you avoid buying the wrong gown.

Prom Night is incredibly important for many girls, with many seeing this night as a right of passage from childhood to adulthood. With such importance being placed on this one night, it's of little surprise that many girls want a designer prom dress. They want to be a princess or Cinderella for that one, special night and a designer gown will help make that night something they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

However, many soon discover that the dress they've paid so much for was a costly mistake. It doesn't fit, it's uncomfortable and, worst of all, it just makes them feel unattractive. All confidence is lost and the night is ruined. They've made the mistake of buying the wrong dress for the wrong girl.

This is all avoidable if some thought is given to body shape. Certain designer prom dress styles will flatter some figure types while other will not. Let's have a look at the different figure types and what sort of dresses work best.

If you're one of those rare women with the perfect hour-glass shape figure, then you'll look good in anything. Very few can wear a mermaid prom dress and look stunning. Also sheath dresses look great. Definitely go for either a strapless or halter neck dress.

For those with fuller or rounded figures a dress with a low neckline and dropped waist is very flattering. The low neck line enhances the bust line and the dropped waist lengthens the torso. An empire dress - no waist, instead the skirt begins under the bust - also flatters this body shape.

For women with a boyish figure tight fitting dresses are best avoided. Instead go for an A-line dress that is slightly fitted at the waist. Also, slimmer women look great bare shouldered, so go for a strapless dress. If you're conscious about small breasts then chose a dress with a halter neckline.

Most women are pear shaped. Again, A-line or empire dress styles will flatter as they accentuate the torso but de-emphasize large hips and thighs.

Choosing the right size is difficult when buying any sort of clothing. This can be even more of a problem when buying a prom gown, especially online. To make matters worse, manufacturers' sizes vary; a size 10 from one manufacturer may be a size 12 from another. Fortunately, many online retailers provide a size chart for the brands they sell. If you follow the instructions carefully, you should find one that fits perfectly.

Buying a designer prom dress is definitely to be recommended as they are better designed and crafted to others you find in department stored. If you buy correctly, only buying dress styles that suit your body shape, you can ensure that on the night, you'll look unique, beautiful and elegant.
