[Update 8 Sep 2023] It’s finally here: The Fenty x PUMA King Avanti that was seen on Rihanna a few months back is finally slated for a release. You can check out official images and learn more about it here.

Months after a teaser of Rihanna’s Fenty x PUMA’s return, we might finally be getting our first glimpses of RiRi’s latest sneaker creation. The stylish mom was seen out and about with her beau ASAP Rocky the past weekend, and on her feet was an all new Fenty-branded PUMA sneaker.

The shoe in question is a pair of the PUMA King Avanti, styled in black and white leather. This particular PUMA model originated from a 1998 collaboration with Jil Sander and was reimagined from the PUMA King football boot which was then repurposed with a lifestyle-themed sole.

The 2023 version that Rihanna wore features a predominantly black upper with white Formstrip. The white fold-over tongue, a signature of the PUMA silhouette, is branded with logos of both Fenty and PUMA in gold foil. Additional Fenty branding also appears in gilded gold above the PUMA Formstrip.

No further release details are available but, with these first sightings, it looks like the Fenty x PUMA drop might happen anytime soon.
