Rihanna Announces Fenty x PUMA AW17 Collection Release Date

Rihanna has officially announced that her Fenty x Puma AW17 Collection, which was showcased during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year, will be available on September 28th.

According to Notion, the AW17 collection, which was dubbed “Fenty University," drew on inspiration from traditional American collegiate wear such as letterman jackets and polo shirts, but were presented with a streetwear twist. Models walking the runway at the Fenty x Puma AW17 Collection were styled to represent jocks, sorority girls, goths, skaters, nerds and more.

Rihanna continued that theme when announcing the AW17 Collection release date.

In addition to all of the apparel featured in the AW17 Collection, Rihanna also debuted the latest version of the Puma Creeper - the boot-like Cleated Creeper.

The Cleated Creeper has already made it's retail debut in two different colorways, including the sueded golden brown joint which utilizes leather detailing throughout the shoe, as well as an all black colorway. Just like Rihanna's previous Puma Creeper collabs, we except these shoes to be released in a variety of different colorways, especially if they are as well received as the OG Creepers. As of now, it's unclear exactly which colorways of the Cleated Creeper will be releasing as part of the Fenty x Puma AW17 Collection drop on September 28th, but we expect a restock of the golden brown and all black joints at the very least.

In addition to working with Rihanna, Puma has also partnered up with other artists and celebs this year including The Weeknd, Jay-Z, Kylie Jenner and, most recently, Selena Gomez. Last month, The Weeknd officially launched his first Puma collab, the Puma Parallel, and the brand has also teamed with Jay-Z on a collaborative sneaker in honor of 4:44. Puma has also agreed to sponsor Jay's 4:44 tour, furthering their ties within the hip-hop community. 

Take a look at some of the pieces featured in the Fenty x Puma AW17 Collection and stay tuned for a list of retailers that'll have the gear in stock.
