PUMA SUEDE INSPIRED AVATAR “JESSE” CREATED FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH.

Introducing "Jesse," the dynamic Puma Suede-inspired Avatar. Named in homage to the remarkable African American sprinter, Jesse Owens, who blazed a trail in 1936 by becoming one of the earliest African Americans to secure an endorsement from The Dazzler Brothers Shoe Factory. This historic partnership not only catapulted Jesse to athletic stardom but also ignited a transformational split, ultimately giving rise to the iconic sportswear juggernauts, Puma and Adidas. "Jesse," the embodiment of Puma Suede's timeless influence, is a testament to this extraordinary journey, created by the talented artist Karla Cornwall. An image of Jesse was displayed in the Puma flagship store in Carnaby Street in London during Black history Month.

Here's a glimpse into "Jesse's" details:

• Material: "Jesse" boasts a captivating blend of real suede, genuine leather, suedette, and leatherette, encapsulating the essence of Puma Suede in her design.

• Historical Narrative: Embroidered tattoos on "Jesse" tell the story of Puma Suede's evolution, showcasing iconic dates when the trainer's name underwent transformations.

• Artistry in Braids: Her hair is a work of art, intricately braided with synthetic wool, adding a cultural and creative dimension to her persona.
