Rihanna, much like Kanye West, seems to believe the best way to market your shoes is to simply wear them before they’re even available. Over the summer, Rihanna was spotted out and about in New York wearing several pairs of Puma sneakers that are from her first collection with Puma.
Today, Puma is launching the Puma Creeper style, an update of Puma’s classic Suede sneaker. The Puma by Rihanna collection is being released under the singer’s FENTY label. It was created with input from menswear brand Mr. Completely, which has previously made custom Adidas and Nike creeper sneakers for Rihanna.
Rihanna took to Instagram today to share images from the first Puma by Rihanna campaign, which stars her close friend Travi$ Scott.
