Puma

A brand of sneakers that is everywhere on the streets of the Dominican Republic, known for flashy colors, three stripes on the sides, and a leaping puma logo. The brand also makes polos, pants, hats, and a ton of gear for athletes and trendy guys (jevitos). Like most clothing in Santo Domingo, about 80 percent of Puma gear is fake, which led to even motorcycle taxi drivers (motoristas) wearing Puma kicks that were supposed to cost 80 US dollars or 2,700 Dominican pesos.

Another Puma Noooooooo!!!!!!! (That is how the song goes, written because of the abundance of Puma sneakers in the DR)
