What to buy during PUMA's Black Friday-beating sale of the year

PUMA is beating its own Black Friday sale, which only took 30 percent off shoppers' entire purchases. Through December 8, PUMA is cutting 50 percent off its inventory  site wide, including sale items. This is the best discount we've seen from the popular shoe retailer all year. 

Customers shop at a PUMA outlet. The German sportswear firm Puma reported its first increase in footwear sales in almost two years and strong sales of its Arsenal jerseys as it increased its sales target for 2014.
