Rihanna Named Puma Creative Director

+Rihanna has been mentioned in +PUMA as the most creative director. Continuing a recent trend of pop stars and musicians being given lucrative positions of athletic and streetwear brands, PUMA joins the ranks by naming Rihanna as their Creative Director. 

While rumors have been circulating for nearly a month, the dubious title was confirmed this morning by the brand itself. The starlet touched down in PUMA’s hometown of Herzogenaurach, Germany yesterday for her first creative session with the design team, picking out colors, styles and discussing the line’s direction. Tapping Rihanna for the position doesn’t come as such a surprise, since PUMA has recently worked with Solange and competing brands continue to reach out to pop culture icons for their magic touch.

According to PUMA, the singer “will work with PUMA to design and customize classic PUMA styles as well as create new styles to add to the PUMA product portfolio.” She will also act as the company’s global brand ambassador, alongside Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt and football star Mario Balotelli, among others, while also being the face of PUMA’s ad campaign for Fall 2015.

New Puma's Thunder For Life

Puma

Now these are some nice colorway shoes Puma has designed here. After launching a Mars-themed collab with Sneakerness not too long ago, PUMA is adding a completely new model to its popular Thunder line that’s looking pretty fly based off the first look we’re getting here.

Although the Thunder 4 Life is definitely a new silhouette, you’d be forgiven if you confused it for one of the many “chunky sole” offerings the sneaker community has been given as of late, especially from the vaults of PUMA itself. However, while not the most original silhouette, it’s for sure a nice sight nonetheless.

The multi-layered construction on the upper gives the shoe many points of interest, including hairy suede on the heel, neoprene at the toe, and leather accents on the tongue. This iteration’s Sonic The Hedgehog-esque color theme is a great finish to the overall design, and sets the shoe up for many cool colorways in the near future we hope. Here’s to more new sneakers in 2018!

PUMA To Re-release The ROMA 68 OG

The shoe at hand debuted back in 1968 around the time when Italy won the UEFA Euro championship for the first time. All the original specs make it back for this version, including the premium leather upper, classic gum sole and low-top construction. 

The neutral colorway of “Whisper White” and “Blue Yonder” is also a throwback to the original drop, with the gold accents on the side panel and heel also directly alluding to the European Football Championship won. Overall, the fact that shoe is back is a win for all of us.

PUMA never fails when it comes to reaching back into the vault, reintroducing the RS-Computer from 1986 last season and even bringing back the Inhale silhouette from 2000 last month. Now, the next re-release comes in the form of the ROMA 68 OG.
