FENTY x PUMA Creeper Phatty: Rihanna’s Iconic Creeper Is Back In A Bolder & Phatter Version

Rihanna might be on a hiatus when it comes to her next full studio album, but not with her iconic creepers! The original creeper first launched in 2015, and eight years later, the anticipated sequel, FENTY x PUMA Creeper Phatty, is finally here. As its name suggests, this shoe is chunkier and bolder than ever.

The most devoted Riri fans might know what 'phatty' means, but for the uninitiated, it stands for extra confidence, extra style and extra everything. Rihanna's vision was to bring the Creeper, a platformed version of PUMA's Suede sneaker, back but in a bold and culturally relevant way. And here's a fun fact: this silhouette was named Shoe of the Year by Footwear News in 2016!

The Crepper Phatty is wrapped in suede, with a padded and debossed formstrip, debossed Fenty logo on the tongue, laces with gold aglets, and a stacked gum sole. This drop comes in three colourways: black and white, extra-bright blue and green, and lavender and cherry red. It's also made for all ages and genders.

The FENTY x PUMA Creeper Phatty will be available in PUMA 313@somerset, VivoCity, Bugis, ION, Jewel stores, on puma.com and selected retailers including Limited Edt MBS, Limited Edt 313, CHAMBER Wisma, Leftfoot, Foot Locker and Zalora on 1 December 2023 at 10am.

In other sneaker news, LOEWE and On have collaborated to create the Cloudtilt, with the second drop coming in January.
