The FENTY x PUMA Avanti takes inspiration from football fashion, featuring supple vintage leather, a fold-over tongue adorned with a debossed and printed gold-foil FENTY and PUMA CAT logo, and a gum outsole with a leather footbed. These design elements pay homage to PUMA’s rich history and heritage in the world of football.
This announcement has brought joy to fans who have eagerly awaited this collaboration since it was first teased in 2014, marking a three-year journey finally coming to fruition.
