MANILA, Philippines—Rihanna’s iconic Creeper makes a triumphant return with the Creeper Phatty, envisioned and named by the pop sensation herself. Bolder and more daring than ever, this revamped classic features an oversized design, stacked gum sole, and vibrant pops of color, available in three distinct shades for all ages and genders.
The Phatty represents extra confidence, style, and everything bold, aligning with Rihanna’s vision to reintroduce the Creeper in a culturally relevant and impactful way. The original Creeper, launched in 2015, transformed sneaker culture and earned the title of Shoe of the Year in 2016, solidifying PUMA’s brand impact.

Crafted in suede with a padded and debossed formstrip, debossed Fenty logo, laces with gold aglets, and a stacked gum sole, the Creeper Phatty boasts three striking colorways. Rihanna expresses, “We took our OG Creeper and made it bigger and badder– reinventing a classic silhouette that was dearly missed.”
