A feature analysis of the Fenty x Puma Creeper Phatty Earth Tone shoes

The Fenty x Puma Creeper Phatty shoes were debuted in 2015 and they immediately grabbed the attention of sneakerheads due to the minimalistic aesthetic. One of the notable flairs of the shoe was its oversized platform sole unit, giving it a voluminous look. The following year, it was named 'the shoe of the year' via Footwear News.

The new lineup comes in three colorways, i.e. 'Totally Taupe,' 'Warm White,' and 'Green Fog.' In the official press release, the brand introduced newly launched FENTY x PUMA Creeper Phatty Earth Tone shoes, stating,

"The FENTY x PUMA Creeper Phatty Earth Tone has arrived with luxe, nubuck materials and touches of gold. Whether you’re looking for a monochromatic head-to-toe, a not so basic neutral, or leaning into earth‘s natural tones, the new Creeper Phatty stands out while blending in."

The brand further gave a shoutout to Fenty's founder Rihanna,

"Premium materials, embossed features, and gold embelishments elevate this new drop from our girl, Rih."

The shoe comes constructed out of nubuck material, which is composed of leather and gives a suede look. The shoe creates a matte and minimalistic look due to the muted tonal upper. The sock liner and inner tongue are left glossy to give a subtle flair to design.

The platform sole unit has a ribbed gum midsole. The shoes can also be distinguished by the visible stitches running across the upper, from the sole to the heel counter.

In the official press release, the brand introduced the 'Totally Taupe' colorway, stating,

"Neutrals are a staple for any wardrobe, an easy way to transition between styles. Wear with a monochromatic look or elevate your everyday."

The Taupe colorway features golden branding details including, the Puma logo placed above the form stripe, and the "F" branding for Fenty on the heel counter. Another branding detail for both brands is added via the puffed-up tongue.

The Puma brand's press release introduced the details of the 'Green Fog' colorway, stating,

"A color representing wisdom and intelligence, incorporate the soft shade into your wardrobe knowing it’s a hue that delivers both power and trend."

Furthermore, the release also gave a styling tip for buyers stating,

"Pair the Warm White colorway with your favorite crisp white fit for a fresh spring palette."

Both the 'Warm White' and 'Green Fog' colorways feature a Gold Gum sole in a ribbed fashion. Furthermore, the shoes will be accompanied by a special customized packaging featuring a black shoe box and shoe bag.
