Bringing that new energetic flavor to listeners ears is the dynamic duo better known as Deco Fam. With Deco Ho Chi Mayne and Deco STLN, alongside their resident producer/DJ SUPR SPRT, we have two Haitians and a Russian redefining what it means to be creatively bold in 2018.

Giving off a different vibe on every record, Deco Fam has been finessing their way to the top. With their debutproject ChinaTown still fresh, it doesn’t take long to notice that the whimsical melodies of Ho Chi Mayne paired with the rich wordplay of STLN complement each other perfectly on records. Born and raised in Miami-Dade County, the duo are not your typical rappers. As classically trained footwear designers, they have designed for big brands including Converse, Reebok, Under Armour, and most recently PUMA. Having spent the majority of their professional careers at PUMA, you have seen their designs at the forefront of partnerships with The Weekend, Fenty, Selena Gomez and Jay-Z.

The sky is the limit for these guys as they continue to push the culture forward to expanding the boundaries of hip hop. Having a strong sense of style, Deco Fam resembles the art form of Art Deco. Art Deco is a style of visual arts, architecture and designs that paved the way for the designers of the future. Deco Fam prove to be the odd ones out, breaking any and every barrier in their way.

Yeezy says he jumped over the Jumpman, but pop princess, Rihanna jumps over both this year. The Barbadian beauty is the first woman to win “Shoe of the Year,” and now she’s giving the infamous Creepers a velvet look.

The Creepers will soon be dropping in 3 different velvet colorways. The sneakers will be in a full burgundy, grey or black look.

Puma blessed Creeper-lovers with news today, Nov. 17th, so here’s another pair to pop out for the fall/winter looks. Just like any other Creeper release, these are going to be a sell-out shoe. Rihanna has gave the sneaker platform-heel a very urban look that the sneaker culture, especially the ladies truly love. The sneaker can be easily dressed up or down, depending on how you feel like stepping out that day.

The velvet Creepers collection will be releasing on December 8th, being the last Fenty x Puma creepers of 2016.

This has been an very successful year for RiRi from her amazing Anti album, touring to her Fenty collection becoming popular from her apparel to fashionable shoes.
