The Paris Olympic Games are underway, and medals aren’t the only must-have accessories. These five footwear drops are ready to rep the red, white, and blue.
Skechers x Snoop Dog Paris Games
Broadcast commendator and offical torch carrier Snoop Dogg is upgrading his kicks for the occasion. The rapper has released an exclusive collection with Skechers that pays homage to Paris as well as the D-O-Double-G himself. Two of Snoop’s custom pairs draw inspiration from the Doggybonez high top silhouette, part of the Skechers x Snoop Dogg collaboration. Made available to Snoop in all-white and French red, white, and blue colorways, designers swapped out the existing Doggybonez logo for one created exclusively for the games.
