Rihanna has officially dropped another footwear design through her Fenty PUMA brand. Following the release of her fur slides, she has unveiled the knee-high and fully knitted 'Fenty Trainer Hi,' a sport version of her previously released 'Knitted Mary Jane High Heel.'
These sneakers are a part of her third season with PUMA as Creative Director, and pull inspiration from classic school girl uniforms, with a high fashion twist. Not only are they adorable, but their midsoles are packed with 'IGNITE' foam, one of the most comfortable and supportive foams in the shoe market today. In addition, the sneakers sport a rubber outsole, fully knitted sock uppers, and the classic PUMA cat logo on the heels.
These hip new sneakers are available in two colors, 'Puma Black' and 'Vanilla Ice' for $200 USD and are available online.
