Rihanna creations help lift Puma sportswear sales

BERLIN, Oct 24 (Reuters) A new collection from singer Rihanna helped drive sales growth at German sportswear company Puma, which last week raised its outlook for 2017 sales and operating earnings.
Puma said third-quarter sales rose a currency-adjusted 23 percent in Europe, Middle East and Africa, 16 percent in the Americas and 10 percent in Asia/Pacific.
Like its German rival Adidas, which reports results on November 9, Puma has been enjoying a revival in the US market, as shoppers snap up its retro styles instead of basketball shoes, hurting Under Armour and Nike.
