Such popular shoes in the modern world as sneakers, it seems, have already shown themselves in a variety of ways. But it turns out that fashion experiments never stop. Not so long ago, the famous singer Rihanna, recognized as an icon of style, began cooperation with a major sports brand Puma.
The result of this work is the appearance of sneakers of a whole new level.
Features
In 2014, the pop star became the creative director of Puma and began to develop new lines of clothing and shoes for women. As for the sneakers, the Rihanna debut collection called Puma Creeper became a combination of futurism and comfort, absorbed the best features of the brand models of the distant 70-80s.
The joint venture was an overwhelming success - sneakers instantly dared from the store shelves. The German manufacturer did not fail, entrusting the female lineup to the singer.
Interestingly, sports images at the show of the first Rihanna collection were demonstrated by famous models - Naomi Campbell, Suzy Menkes.
Speaking about the distinctive features of Rihanna sneakers, first of all, we note their charismatic design, combining sophisticated elegance with mischievous brightness. The upper part of the models is made in punk style. This culture was born in the 80s.
In addition, these shoes are very practical and wear. Sneakers are equipped with a powerful corrugated sole. Any dirt is easily cleaned from them. By the way, in these shoes it’s not hot even in the summer, because the natural material (high-grade suede) perfectly passes air. With proper care, sneakers retain their presentable appearance and color saturation for a long time.
We also note the light weight of the shoe, which provides a feeling of lightness and a high degree of comfort during walks.
New Rihanna X Puma Fenty Trainer Sneakers
Models
Suede Creeper - a collaboration between Puma and Rihanna - is essentially an improved version of the suede sneakers of a sports brand (model Suede).
The new version is complemented by a massive wear-resistant sole made of durable polyurethane, which ensures thermal insulation and also softens bumps during walking.
If you describe the sneakers in detail, we note that on the back and side of the product have the PUMA logo, on the tongue and heel there is the PUMA FENTY sign (by the way, Fenty is the singer’s name brand), made in gold color.
From the inside, the back of the shoe is sealed with an additional pad that protects the rear seam from being erased, increases the strength of the shoe, and fixes the foot. Natural suede provides a perfect anatomical fit. Lacing provides a tight fit products.
If we pay attention to the seam around the perimeter of the sole, we find a very strong thread, which, however, does not rub the foot.
The design of the shoes is thought out so that water or dust could not get inside from the environment.
Material
The velvety texture of suede, which is the top of Rihanna's Puma sneakers, is very pleasant to the touch. It tolerates washing, even at high temperatures.
Interestingly, the material is hypoallergenic. Any annoying sensations during the entire life cycle are simply excluded.
Inside, high-tech models are trimmed with genuine leather (by the way, the insole inside is also leather in this case). Note that there are also options with a textile lining.
Color
If we consider the color palette of Rihanna sneakers, then fashionistas have much to choose from. These are classic black models, as well as black options with contrasting inserts in white or beige. Looks attractive with white, pale pink, sandy top. Lovers of bright colors can choose bright red sneakers.
Among the models with combined top, we note discreet gray-beige and white-beige variants.
Note that the sole has various color options. For example, pink or black sneakers are equipped with a beige platform.
How to distinguish an original from a fake?
Rihanna's Puma, like any branded item, will always be scammed by scammers.
In order not to become an owner of a dubious pair of shoes for a simple consumer, you need to pay attention to certain points when buying. Even trifles, insignificant at first glance, are very important.
First of all, go shopping only at specialized salons that sell sports equipment. And in small unverified stores, and even more so in the market, there is a great risk of becoming the owner of a cheap fake.
Analyze the price of the goods. Too cheap products from a well-known brand is an occasion to think. Branded products are never cheap.
Before visiting the store, do not be too lazy to familiarize yourself with the official website of the manufacturer and consider your favorite model of sneakers.
As for online purchases, refrain from them, because there are too many fakes on the Internet.
Branded shoes Puma Rihanna necessarily equipped with company logos. Moreover, this sign should look perfect. But a slight flaw or negligence in writing or in the material (a logo can not just be spread on products, but be made, for example, from metal) - an occasion to beware and suspect a fake.
Carefully inspect the seams of the sneakers. At the branded thing, they are always very high quality, smooth, you will not see sticking threads.
Evaluate the material: on branded products it is soft, has no bumps, wrinkled flaws. If natural skin is characterized by a natural uneven structure, then artificial skin always looks smooth and evenly porous. The smell of sneakers can also say a lot - the skin smells special, you will not confuse it with a synthetic chemical aroma.
We should not forget about branded packaging: for branded products, it is always of decent quality. A sign of the original is the presence of special bags, ribbons, quality packaging paper. By the way, the box should also have a logo.
How much are?
Although Rihanna's Puma sneakers are a branded item, their cost is significantly lower than other products of the same class. There aren't many incredibly comfortable premium suede products on the shoe market for about $ 100.
What to wear?
Rihanna can see a variety of clothing combinations with Puma sneakers from Rihanna herself - she loves posing for photographers, showing stylish outfits that include her own line of shoes.
These items can be worn from early spring to late fall. Sneakers look great with jeans, leggings, sports-style jackets, parkas.
Reviews
Fashionistas who purchased branded Puma Rihanna sneakers do not consider them to be sports shoes, but rather a styling for sneakers. Running in them is inconvenient, they are created more for beauty. Some ladies call them a cross between sneakers and lace-up youth shoes.
The fair sex really likes branded products; they are worn not only with jeans, but also with elegant dresses.
According to the girls, Puma Rihanna looks simply gorgeous. Moreover, they are beautiful in any color design. They can be worn at work, and just for a walk, and at a disco - and everywhere they look appropriate.
Another nuance that pleases women is that the foot does not sweat in these sneakers. They are very socks, do not deform, do not rub. High rubber outsole prevents shoes from getting wet in rainy weather.
By the way, auto-ladies wear Puma Rihanna both in winter and in summer (only the thickness of the socks changes).
Women are pleased that these shoes can be washed in a machine.
By the way, customer reviews tell us about an interesting detail: in the language of the original sneakers there is a patch with information about the barcode, size, etc. There is also a number of 12 characters, and it should be different for the sneakers of one pair. If the numbers match, it means that you have a fake.
