QuoteThe chief of Puma admitted on Friday that arch rival Adidas was on a roll due to the popularity of its retro sneakers, but he believed a deal with singer Rihanna would help the smaller German sportswear firm get back in the gameCompared to the much bigger Nike and Adidas, Gulden said Puma was still struggling to get space at retailers, although its popular retro suede sneakers and new women's products were prompting distributors to call to ask to stock its range again.Gulden said currency effects had slowed growth in sales and profitability in the first quarter although the women's business, helped by products designed by singer Rihanna, had started to show "excellent results"."The women's business helps on the men's side too. Rihanna opens the door," he said.Puma cited strong demand for sneakers designed by the superstar singer in February when it reported higher-than-expected sales growth in the fourth quarter..

But to say it wasn't thriving. Puma isn?t really considered a major player within the sneaker industry. People definitely wear Pumas, but they can?t touch Nike or Adidas in terms of cultural clout. However, they might be well on their way to changing that with a few well chosen celebrity associations.After naming Rihanna creative director for its women?s line last year, Bloomberg Business is reporting that Puma beat their average fourth quarter financial projections by a whopping $34.5 million. There?s no reason to think Rihanna?s sold out collection of ?Creeper? and ?Eskiva? sneakers weren?t a huge reason for that, and Puma?s CEO agrees. ?She can sell sneakers and Puma is onto something here which we haven?t seen yet in the women?s area,? German company?s CEO Bjorn Gulden state at a press conference.
