Rihanna’s FENTY x PUMA partnership continues its evolution with an eye-catching lineup set to release this March. Expanding beyond footwear, the latest drop introduces neon colorways of the Avanti LS, a brand-new Cat Cleat Jelly slide, and a co-branded Pocket Bag designed to complement the footwear selections. This collection embraces bold tones and playful textures while maintaining the collaboration’s signature mix of sport and style.
The Avanti LS, a modernized take on PUMA’s football-inspired silhouette, reappears in two neon-infused designs. The first pair features a neon yellow base with an orange Formstrip, while the second flips the tones with a neon orange upper and a pink Formstrip. Constructed from premium leather, the shoe incorporates intricate crochet and stitching details, adding depth to its sleek exterior. The Avanti’s DNA pulls from PUMA’s Speedcat and Mostro models, resulting in a low-profile sneaker that balances sport and fashion.
FENTY x PUMA extends its influence into new territory with the Cat Cleat Jelly, a fresh take on summer footwear. Designed with a football cleat-inspired sole, the open-toe silhouette introduces a slight heel, giving the slide a sculpted look. Like the Avanti LS, the Cat Cleat Jelly arrives in neon yellow and neon orange, allowing for a bold monochromatic statement. The textural contrast between the glossy jelly material and the rugged outsole creates a distinct visual appeal.
Rounding out the release is the FENTY x PUMA Pocket Bag, a compact accessory designed to match the footwear’s color palette. This dual-branded mini pouch offers multiple styling options, it can be used as a coin purse, bag charm, or standalone statement piece. The pocket bag’s vibrant color options allow for easy coordination with both the Avanti LS and Cat Cleat Jelly slides.
Rihanna’s collaboration with PUMA continues to push the boundaries of sportswear-inspired fashion. The introduction of new silhouettes and accessories signals an expansion of the partnership beyond sneakers, incorporating lifestyle elements that reflect Rihanna’s influence. With a mix of nostalgia, athleticism, and contemporary design, this collection maintains the bold direction that has defined FENTY x PUMA’s previous releases.
The FENTY x PUMA Avanti LS, Cat Cleat Jelly, and Pocket Bag will be available starting March 13 at 10 a.m. ET. The collection will drop worldwide through PUMA’s online store, flagship locations, and select retailers. Given Rihanna’s influence and the collection’s distinctive color palette, demand is expected to be high, making this release one to watch.
