Rihanna has been readying for summer in a big way this year, with fresh Creepers, a makeup line, and the limited-edition Jelly Slides being just a few of her most recent projects.
The latter joins the popstar's other popular slide-on sandals, like the Fenty Bow Slides and the Fur Slides. Unlike the other two models, the Jelly Slides can be worn virtually anywhere, as the durable material makes them waterproof. Although the official release date hasn't been given as of yet, it's likely that the Jelly Slides will be available just before summer hits.
The sandals feature Puma's branding boldly on the straps, and have diamond-like markings on them to ensure they don't slip off one's feet. So far, three different colorways have been exposed: baby blue, light pink, and black.
