According to the brand, the sales surge is due in large part to its sneaker collaborations with Rihanna, and Puma CEO Bjoern Gulden added that Rihanna “can sell sneakers and Puma is onto something here which we haven’t seen yet in the women’s area.”

 

Let’s not forget Puma just signed Kylie Jenner! Between Rih & Kylie, the brand is set for an incredible year.
