Puma Creative Director Solange Knowles collaborated with label William Okpo to deliver a sneaker capsule collection and lookbook 'Girls of Blaze'.

Solange x William Okpo's 'Girls Of Blaze' Lookbook

We've previously talked about this collaboration between Puma creative director & artist Solange and the William Okpo sisters. Their 'Girls of Blaze's sneaker capsule collection dropped earlier this year to much acclaim and we thought you'd like to see its lookbook featuring all the difference sneaker designs. Photographed and directed by Alan Ferguson, the pictures have a great vintage feel that reminds us of old school aerobic pictures and, as a plus, all the models sport the now famous Solange afro style. Scroll through our gallery to view the photographs and if you want to talk about it, tweet @okayafrica with #girlsofblaze.
