Zaya Wade has collaborated with Puma and Fenty. Daughter to NBA icon Dwyane Wade, she is a model and LGBTQ+ advocate who has been celebrated for her courage. On this note, she posted several pictures on her Instagram flaunting the new Puma collaboration with Rihanna’s brand.

At the age of 16, Zaya has made a massive impact on the world. More importantly, she is coming up on her own, outside the immense shadow of her father’s legacy. Her recent shoe collaboration with Puma x Fenty is a testament to that.

Zaya has already made a name for herself at such a young age. She came out publically at the age of 12 as transgender. She has been inspiring young kids with her own example and courage to live their truth. The young star also has an abundance of support coming her way from her parents. “She’s the strong one in this family. She’s a hero”, Wade said about his daughter in June 2016. The NBA legend said that she leads by example and is inspirational to all other family members. The 3x NBA champion dedicated his speech at the NAACP Image Awards in 2022 to his daughter.
