Dubai: Protest have erupted across United Arab Emirates after launching a pair of shoes by International sportswear brand Puma in the colours of the UAE flag.
People reacted very angrily and said that the flag is a very sacred symbol for the UAE and it cannot be taken lightly especially not as footwear.”
They said that while in some countries the flag can be draped in any manner as any accessory, this will never be acceptable in the UAE and we are not ready to see nation’s flag on our feet.
Puma was yet to release a statement to the press.
