The FENTY x PUMA Avanti boasts vintage leather, a gold-foil FENTY and PUMA CAT logo, and pays homage to PUMA's football heritage.

A Fashion-Forward Sportswear Legacy

Since their groundbreaking debut with the Creeper in 2015, Rihanna and PUMA have been transforming sportswear fashion. With notable collections like the FENTY x PUMA trainer and fur slide, they've elevated PUMA's brand impact over the past decade. The Avanti launch features a diverse collection, including unisex options for all age groups.

Sporting Heritage Meets Creative Innovation

The Avanti's design draws inspiration from the iconic PUMA King football boot (1968) and Jil Sander's 1998 fashion collaboration. Rihanna's 2023 reinterpretation revitalizes this classic piece, driven by her passion for bringing iconic archive items to the streets, with a nod to football legend Pelé.

An Iconic Campaign

Photographer Dennis Leupold collaborates with Rihanna to create a campaign inspired by football's pentagon shape and stitching. The campaign showcases Rihanna alongside A$AP Nast, Pure, Felix Mallard, and promising young talents.

Get Ready for the Avanti

Save the date! The FENTY x PUMA Avanti launches worldwide on puma.com and select retailers on September 15, 2023, at 10 a.m. EST. Stay tuned for a second Avanti drop later this fall.
