When Rihanna released her PUMA Creepers last year in collaboration with the shoe company, sneaker fanatics lined up to purchase them.
Previously, consumers were limited in their choices however as the PUMA Creepers were only offered in limited color options. With Rihanna herself promoting a teaser of the shoes on her hugely popular Instagram account, conversation surrounding the PUMA Creepers has reignited. The shoes will be available in an additional three new colorways -- all-black, all-white and a deep green with an accent of burgundy and a beige platform. These new colorways are respectively dubbed 'Black Satin,' 'Basket Creeper Glo' and 'Green-Bordeaux.'
The PUMA Creepers have been popular largely because of their linkage to the singer and a series of promotion campaigns that connects them to other admired artists as well -- including rapper Travis Scott.
