"Signing Rihanna is a fantastic step for Puma," Puma's CEO, Bjørn Gulden, said this week, according to WWD. "Her global profile, her charisma and individuality, her ambition - all these things make her a perfect ambassador for our brand. With a strong portfolio in football, running and motorsport, finding an inspiring partner for women's training was very important. Rihanna was a natural choice for us. We're delighted to have her as a partner, and we're looking forward to what's to come."

Rihanna was very involved in the 2014 World Cup, especially cheering on the eventual champions, Germany.

According to Pret-a-Reporter, the music business beauty was brought on to "work with Puma to design and customize classic Puma styles as well as create new styles to add to the Puma product portfolio."
