How to Shop Rihanna’s Super Bowl Maison Margiela x Salomon Sneaker

FINALLY, RIHANNA has made her much-anticipated comeback performance at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show, and it was a tour de force that gave the audience everything we could’ve asked from her: pregnancy announcement, floating platforms, great dancers, beautiful lighting… And she tried her best to stay on the notes while belting out her biggest hits. But perhaps the most memorable of the night is Bad Girl Riri’s costume—there’s only one—which is a head-to-toe red ensemble, including the unisex designer sneaker that you can actually shop now online.

Ready for the biggest performance of the year, these chunky kicks definitely aren’t your run-of-the-mill trainers or running shoes. They’re from a buzzy collab between French sportswear brand Salomon and French luxury fashion house Maison Margiela MM6 that debuted on the Fall 2022 runway. While sporting designer shoes is by no means surprising for the billionaire superstar, there’s actually more to Rihanna’s footwear choice. In fact, this sneaker collab is a hybrid between an avant-garde aesthetic and a performance-ready build—truly the best-of-both-worlds kind of performance ethos we can expect from her.

Maison Margiela MM6 x Salomon is also exactly what Rihanna needs to ground her setlist and moves, banger after banger, on a levitating stage nonetheless. While these all-gender sneakers are actually slip-on shoes, they definitely don’t slip: backed by Salomon’s signature Speedcross trail running sole, they provide traction grippy enough for the singer’s floating-in-the-air segments. Design-wise, they’re pure Maison Margiela: bold and irreverent in a futuristic silhouette and a fire colorway.

But these unisex sneakers aren’t just for headlining the Super Bowl Halftime show and pulling in possibly 100+ million viewers. Supportive with a city-ready vibe, they sell out fast because they can easily be worn as everyday walking shoes. Also available in a high-top version, they retail for $360—not too staggering for designer footwear—to help ready your Super Bowl debut like Rihanna, or just ante up your street style as close to her level as possible.
