"HEEL HITLER" - PUMA'S TRIBUTE TO GERMAN SOCIALIST LEADER

Puma did "NAZI" that coming!

You couldn't make it up! Apparently a new sports shoe design by German sports wear company Puma has evoked comparisons to Adolf Hitler, the well-known German socialist leader of the early 20th century. 

The Puma “Storm Adrenaline” design not only appears to mimic the Hitler's trademark moustache and hairstyle, but also the shoe's name evokes the paramilitary wing of the Hitler's National Socialist Party, namely the Sturmabteilung, whose name means "Storm Detachment."

Rudolf Dassler, the founder of Puma, was famously a member of the National Socialist Party.

Is this shoe design an example of the "master lace" or is it more a case of "Heel Hitler"?
