Created in collaboration with Ottolinger, the shoes feature a spiky midsole and a velcro strap.
Rihanna has been showing off her passion for her longtime collaborator Puma lately. On July 23, she wore the brand’s silver and red Mostro Lo sneakers while out in New York City.
The Fenty CEO demonstrated her urban street style on Tuesday, pairing baggy camouflage pants with a blue athletic jersey reading “Scott Racing Team.” The singer and fashion mogul showed how two different color schemes can come together to create a bold and memorable look. Rihanna accessorized with a Gucci purse (seemingly the $1,750 Ophinda GG medium tote), which complemented her pants with its beige colorway. Her hair was worn in braids, most of which were piled on top of her head in a bun.
Unsurprisingly, Rihanna chose to rep Puma when it came time to pick out her shoes. She selected a pair hailing from the company’s collaboration with Ottolinger, specifically the silver and red Puma Edition Mostro Lo sneakers. The low-top shoes are made of patent and grained leather, designed in silver with red accents. The rubber midsole and zig-zag straps are red, adding a splash of color to contrast the reflective chrome hue.
Notably, the midsole features a spiky design that contributes an edgy flair to the footwear. Known for this unique feature, the Mostro became very popular in the early 2000s; this year, Puma has announced new versions of the shoe as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.
Rihanna’s collaboration with Puma goes back about a decade and involves several iterations of their successful Creeper shoe. The Creeper Phatty “In Session,” a puffy shoe with wide laces, was recently released in two colorways, including a triple back and a red and white option.
Rihanna’s appearance in the Mostro Lo shoes is the latest of the superstar’s New York City outings in which she steps out in Puma. She was seen wearing the Liga OG Retro shoes earlier in the month for a casual outing, and more recently modeled the Creeper Phatty “In Session” in the triple black colorway; she paired the shoes with a pleated skirt and button-down shirt for another stylish streetwear moment.
