Rihanna Fenty Shoes
The Fenty collection by Rihanna, in partnership with Puma, represents a unique fusion of fashion, sportswear, and cultural influence. This exclusive line, creatively directed by Rihanna since 2015, has made significant waves in both the fashion and sneaker worlds.
In addition to the Creeper series, the Fenty x PUMA line introduced the Avanti sneaker in 2023, blending the high-quality leather design of the King football boot with the outsole of the Easy Rider running shoe. This unique hybrid, featuring vintage leather, a fold-over tongue, and a gum sole, exemplifies the collection's fusion of sports heritage and fashion-forward design.
Beyond these key models, the collection has also featured innovative designs like bowed sneakers and faux-fur slide sandals, each contributing to the diverse and trendsetting nature of the Fenty x PUMA line. This collection not only showcases Rihanna's creative prowess but also underscores her commitment to blending sporty functionality with high-fashion aesthetics, catering to a wide audience with varied styles and preferences.
The iconic Creeper sneaker, first introduced in 2015, redefined PUMA's classic suede sneaker with its signature platform sole, and was even acclaimed as the Footwear News' Shoe of the Year in 2016. The Creeper has evolved over the years with several standout iterations. The 2017 Cleated Creeper added an aggressive cleated sole, elevating the design literally and figuratively. The Ankle Strap Creeper of the same year introduced a daring connected leather ankle strap, while the Pointy Creeper brought a dramatic edge with a patent leather upper and pointy toe. In 2018, the Creeper embraced boldness with the Neon Cleated Creeper, featuring vibrant black and electric blue models with neon green details. Most recently, in 2023, the Creeper Phatty revitalized the classic design with an extra-padded look and a stacked crepe gum sole.
