That Rihanna reign just won’t let up. This time, we are referring to her latest release: The Fenty x Puma Avanti sneakers.
In a unique twist, Rihanna hosted a press conference in Los Angeles to unveil her latest creation. Instead of the usual crowd of journalists, she welcomed a group of enthusiastic kids as the only questioners. The Fenty Beauty founder enlisted the help of young influencers like Jazlyn “Jazzy” Guerra, Bowie Layne Barcena, twins Alexis and Ava McClure, Jabria McCullum and more for the new campaign to promote her sneaker. And the group full of the internet’s favorite youngsters couldn’t be more adorable.
With football as her inspiration, Rihanna redefines the concept of “Soccer Mom” by blending fashion, sportiness, and comfort effortlessly. The striking new colorways of the Fenty x Puma Avantis are now available for purchase at Puma.com, offering a fresh take on athletic footwear.
