USAIN BOLT ATTENDS PUMA YARD SHINDIG (LONDON) / PUMA’S HISTORY

DJ Manny Norte skinnin teeth like a Cheshire cat and Usain Bolt at Puma Yard

A triumphant Usain Bolt partied hard with his fellow team mates Yohan Blake and Warren Weir at the Puma Yard shindig in East London this past weekend.

Excited club patrons watched as Bolt stood alongside DJ Manny Norte and turned DJ/sound man for the evening.

It sounds like everyone was at Puma Yard including those annoying bandwagon jumping media types who are all over anything Jamaican right now.  You know who you are.

It has also been a good couple of weeks for former DJ Manny Norte.  The former KISS DJ is back on our airwaves via the once ground breaking (pre Global takeover) Choice FM and is now raving and skinnin teeth with the fastest man on earth. I mean can it really get any better then that???

Congratulations to Team Jamaica on their London 2012  success.

*Interesting facts about the origins of PUMA*

Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik (Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory) was founded by brothers Adolf and Rudolf Dassler who were both members of Hitler’s Nazi Party. 

When Adolf and Rudolf later parted ways Adolf  changed the name of the company to Adidas and Rudolf  went on to found PUMA.

Oh the irony! Adolf and Rudolf must be rolling around in their graves right now*

  1. I didn’t know that Adidas and Puma had Nazi connections and look at all the black artists who happily endorse their products today.

  2. From what I’ve read, Addidas first came to notoriety in 1936 when Adolf dassler himself persuaded African American sprinter Jesse Owens to use them in the 1936 Olympics.

  3. Yes that’s true, a business move. And then him and his brother went on to join the Nazi Party.

    Even back that black people were being used to promote brands. Good to see nothing’s changed hahahha.
