Sneaker-Sandal Hybrids

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Rihanna's FENTY PUMA Introduced the Avid Trainers in Time for Summer

— April 2, 2018 — Pop Culture
Rihanna's fashion label FENTY PUMA is preparing to launch the Avid Trainers just in time for the summer season. The brand-new footwear silhouette is a hybrid of a sneaker and a pair of sandals, making them perfect for an easy transition into the hot temperatures to come. The new Avid Trainers are showcased in two colorways -- a teal and orange colorway and a black and white colorway with red accents.

FENTY PUMA's new seasonal footwear takes on a cut-out detail at the forefoot and has details of a bungee-style lacing system. The outsoles draw an inspiration from hiking trails, providing high-traction grip with every step. The Avid Trainers are a part of FENTY PUMA by Rihanna's Spring/Summer 2018 capsule and dropped March 30th at PUMA retailers and online.
