Puma Palermo
The return of a Sicilian legend from the football stands - Puma Palermo
The Puma Palermo is an essential part of the history of European sports culture. The silhouette first appeared in the early 1980s and instantly became an icon among football fans, particularly within the British "Terrace" subculture. It takes its name from the Sicilian capital and is part of a special series of Puma sneakers that paid homage to famous European cities. After decades in the archives , the Puma Palermo returns in full force to delight fans of the retro aesthetic looking for a shoe with an authentic story and unmistakable southern European charm.
Premium materials and unmistakable retro design
Whatmakes the Puma Palermo a standout piece is its fidelity to the original design. The upper combines high quality suede and textile panels, giving the shoe a lightness and typical 80s texture. The key hallmark is the rubber sole in a honey shade, which provides great traction and underlines the vintage character of the model. On the side of the shoe, the characteristic Puma Formstrip and the gold Palermo lettering on a small textile tag are not to be missed , a detail that will be appreciated especially by collectors and connoisseurs of the brand's history.
Interesting fact: The icon that defines the contemporary "Blokecore" style
Did you know that the Puma Palermo is one of the key models driving the current "Blokecore " fashion wave ? This trend, which combines retro football jerseys with classic sneakers, has made the Palermo a must-have for every sneakerhead. With its low profile and slim silhouette, these shoes look great paired with wide jeans and casual shorts. The PumaPalermo is proof that the style that originated in football stadiums forty years ago is more relevant than ever on the streets of the world's capitals.
Materials
Upper
Suede: Leather with a characteristic brushed finish and a soft, velvety texture. Unlike smooth leather, it is produced from the inside of the leather, which gives the material an unmistakable softness and suppleness. The main advantages of suede footwear include high breathability and the ability to adapt quickly to the anatomical shape of the foot, making the shoes comfortable from the first wear. Suede stands out for its depth of colour and gives the shoes a premium look. In order for the material to retain its properties and beauty, regular impregnation is recommended to ensure protection against moisture and dirt.
Sole
Rubber: The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. Thanks to its elasticity, it absorbs shock, increasing comfort when walking or running.

The beast in the Puma emblem matches the aesthetics and image of the brand in reality. Quality workmanship, innovative technology and constant progress make Puma sneakers and clothing the most popular pieces in fashion and among athletes. Puma also likes to collaborate with famous artists, so you can treat your shoe or wardrobe to a piece designed by the Weeknd or Barbadian singer Rihanna.
How Puma became a legend
Puma could be considered the little brother of the brand with the three stripes in its emblem. Wondering how that's possible? Because the founders of Puma and Adidas, Rudolf and Adolf Dassler, were really brothers. They originally ran the business together when they were both building adidas. However, during the 1940s, there were fundamental differences between them regarding not only the functioning of the company, but also political issues.
The disputes continued to escalate until, in 1948, the brothers decided to go their separate ways. Rudolf thus founded the brand Ruda (Ru from his first name and Da from his surname). However, this name lasted only a few months before the company was officially renamed Puma. This name, of course, still adorns Puma shoes today.
In spite of the intense competition from the company run by Rudolf's brother, the company was beginning to thrive. As time went on, it increasingly expanded its influence and Puma shoes could be spotted more and more often. These were mostly sporting events related to athletics, football or basketball.
From podiums to fashion shows
And that's where the shoes with the beast in the emblem can be seen today. Puma shoes can be found on running tracks, football fields but also in the spaces between the two baskets. But besides sports grounds, Puma sneakers have also found their way onto the streets. In recent years, they have even found their way into the company of the world's leading streetwear sneakers. Globally, we are thus following the process by which Puma sneakers for men and women have moved from the podium to the spotlight at fashion shows over the past decade.
The legacy of Puma's history in the context of the future
The futuristic Puma Thunder Spectra, Thunder Electric or RS-X sneakers are particularly responsible for this - overall, the Puma RS series is one of the most popular in the new decade. Puma footwear also offers skateboard shoes, among which a silhouette called Suede stands out.
Puma shoes are a recent phenomenon that is still on the rise despite its long history. It can also be seen as a symbol that when you're up against a competitor that looks like it can't be beaten at first glance, you shouldn't lay down your arms. Puma footwear is, in short, extremely versatile and whenever you need to choose a new sneaker, Puma makes your job significantly easier. They'll even hold you up when you're looking for slippers.
At Footshop, you can find men's and women's Puma shoes in your size. You can choose if you're looking for black and white, but the Puma RS series in particular is distinguished by its colourfulness, so check them out too. Happy selection!
