When comparing Nike and Puma, both brands stand tall, but each has its own personality. Nike dominates the global market with innovative technologies like Zoom Air, React foam, and Flyknit uppers. Athletes swear by the durability and responsiveness, especially in the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus and Nike Metcon series.
Puma, on the other hand, leans into retro aesthetics and streetwear culture. Their shoes, like the Puma RS-X and Cali Sport offer fashion-forward designs with surprisingly good comfort for everyday use.
