PONY Rock ‘n’ Rumble 2: Rebel Against Conformity with Style

 

PONY Shoes traces its roots 40 years ago from New York City and was founded by Uruguay native Roberto Muller. He envisioned it as the blue collar, hardworking, value-for-money sneaker of America – the footwear brand built to survive the tough city streets, so to speak. They were worn by sports legends like Pele, Dan Marino, Reggie Jackson, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Larry Holmes.

In 2001, they expanded their line to streetwear with Justin Timberlake, the band Korn and hip hop icon Snoop Dogg as their product endorsers. Today, they are still one of America’s most beloved sports brand. And who could ever forget the man previously known in the boxing community as “The Destroyer”? He wore and endorsed PONY shoes on his rise to superstardom. He is none other than the Pacman himself: Manny Pacquiao.
