What would it look like if strong women took the place of men in pictures that have made history? Well, that’s exactly what Puma did for their next big campaign.
The German sportswear company teamed up with local based creative agency Mad Juice to promote the new female version of their famed CELL Alien sneakers. For this occasion two local, creative minds – Nicole Mahakian and Aisha Almohtadi – from Mad Juice came up with the idea to take imminent moments from history that were led by men and instead put Arab girls into their place.

This would look something like this:

Each of the girls are fun, fierce and fearless females from all walks of life – including DJs, yoga instructors, students and creatives that represent our society. Puma and Mad Juice wanted to break the gender stereotypes in the Middle East and show a new and emancipated side of our generation: one where girls can achieve everything they set their mind on and can take up the place traditionally held my men.
