Released on Thursday, the Fenty x Puma Avanti Pony shoe comes covered in lux calf hair and finished with embroidered Fenty branding and retro gum soles. The silhouette is available in two colorways: all-white and dappled white and brown — the latter features a unique pattern on every style, making them one-of-one shoes.

Made of premium materials, the Avanti Pony is the latest drop of the Fenty and Puma collaboration and is labeled as an “extremely” limited edition, according to the footwear brand. Only 2,000 pairs of the Avanti Pony sneakers were made available in both men’s and women’s sizes. The shoes were released at 10 a.m. EST on Thursday at puma.com and select retailers globally. Both styles retail at $200 each.
