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.
With Rihanna serving as the official Creative Director of Fenty x PUMA, this Fenty x Puma collaboration reintroduces the Puma Avanti, which debuted back in 2001. 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.
?I wanted to bring something iconic from the archives to the street, and the late great Pelé made the Avanti shoe so iconic,? the singer said.
Available in your choice of Aged Silver or Black, the Fenty x PUMA Avanti Pack will make its debut on September 15th at Puma.com for the retail price of $170 for the Aged Silver pair and $160 for the Black pair. Both colorways will also be available in Little Kids and Toddler sizing.
