Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

If you’ve been on the fence about the velvet trend that’s pretty much taken over fall 2016, Rihanna is delivering a very convincing reason to reconsider.

The star’s beloved Fenty x PUMA Creepers, crowned the ‘Shoe of the Year’ by Footwear News, are back and extra plush for all of the sneakerheads out there.

PUMA announced the news via their Instagram page with a post displaying three colorways of the kicks including black, burgundy and grey hues.

Double tap if you plan on putting more luxe into your life on December 8. The final #FENTYxPUMA Creepers of 2016 are on their way in three velvety colors.

The new additions to the creeper family retail for $150 and are set to drop in stores and online Dec. 8. If they’re anything like the last releases (which they will be) they’ll be gone before you can say, “work work work work work work.”

The news of the pending release comes on the heels of bad gal Rih Rih’s recent debut of the second installment of her Manolo Blahnik collaboration.

In short, Rihanna has something for everyone and is indeed a fashion killer.

Honestly, truly.

We’re not sure about you but these are definitely going on our Christmas list this year.
