Rihanna rocks Salomon shoes during Super Bowl halftime show

It's safe to say Rihanna was well-gripped for her Super Bowl halftime performance

Rihanna Super Bowl

Say what you want about this year’s Super Bowl halftime performance, but one thing we cannot deny is how fire Rihanna’s shoes were. We couldn’t help but notice the 34-year-old pop star came on stage rocking a limited-edition pair of red Salomon Speedcross Low X Maison Margiela MM6 trail shoes.

These shoes are a collab between trail brand Salomon and French luxury clothing design house Maison Margiela, derived from Salomon’s signature Speedcross pattern. Luckily, the shoes are not as expensive as “Diamonds”, retailing at $360.

Recently the Salomon Speedcross has become a fashion-forward shoe, but this collab gives a nod to the brand’s trail-running heritage.

Rihanna’s pair had a built-in gaiter, which acts as an ‘Umbrella, Ella, Ella,” to keep water out of the upper, and also features 4 mm trail lugs, which probably helped her stay calm (and well-gripped) while singing on a floating platform suspended above Arizona’s packed State Farm Stadium.

According to Salomon’s Global Brand Director, Benjamin Aiden, the company had no idea Rihanna would be wearing the brand during the halftime show–and they did not even know she wore Salomon shoes. “We did not reach out to her or give her a pair to wear,” said Aiden. “She must’ve bought them full price.”
