FURRY FUSION: RIHANNA’S FENTY X PUMA UNVEILS ‘PONY’ AVANTI SNEAKERS

The most recent collaboration between the sports giant and Rihanna’s label introduces a fresh twist with two furry Avanti sneakers named ‘Pony’.

Originally launched in 2001, the Avanti silhouette regained attention when reimagined by Rihanna in various iterations. Following the success of metallic finishes a few months ago, the latest collaboration unveils two furry Avanti models in white and mottled brown calfskin, becoming essential pieces for sneaker enthusiasts. Retaining the signature rounded structure and oversized tongue reminiscent of football boots, these ‘Pony’ editions epitomize the fusion of sportswear and street style.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind the design, Rihanna remarks, “I wanted to bring an iconic piece from the archives to the streets, and the Avanti, famously associated with Pele, embodies that iconicity.”

The new FENTY x PUMA Avanti sneakers will be available for purchase starting February 22nd on puma.com and select physical retailers.
