Earlier this year, Rihanna gave us a small tease of the return of the Fenty x Puma partnership. Their collaboration between the two brands traces back in 2014, when Rihanna was made its creative director of womenswear. For 2023, Rihanna?s Fenty and Puma will be teaming up to release the Fenty x PUMA Avanti Pack.

This time around, the Avanti is given a new modern makeup to be better suited for the current times. The design of the sneaker aims to create a shoe at the intersection of two of PUMA?s mainstays, the King football boot and the Easy Rider running sneaker. What you end up getting is a narrow vintage leather shoe, a slim sole and prominent, folded tongue that houses both Fenty and Puma branding in Gold or Silver.
