One of the most memorable moments from the 2024 Summer Olympic Games Opening Ceremonies was Snoop Dogg carrying the torch. Representing the USA, Snoop was clad in a white-based fit, but what stood out were his sneakers. Bringing bling to the streets of Saint-Denis, Snoop was laced up in a Gold Medal edition of his Skechers Snoop One signature sneaker. Initially thought to be an exclusive for the Death Row Records owner and his pal, Martha Stewart, the pair is set for a retail release this holiday season.
Snoop's Skechers Snoop One Gold Medal edition is dressed like royalty. The classic court-style high-top sneaker sports a lux all-gold embossed leather upper. A ribbon in the colors of the French flag adorns the lateral sides and the tongue tag.
More subtle blue and red accents, such as the red stripe and Snoop's S logo in blue on the midsole, can be seen throughout. A gum rubber sole for grip completes the look, highlighted by gold laces and hardware. Special packaging is also included in this special edition release.
The Snoop Dogg x Skechers Snoop One Gold Medal Snoop will release on December 12, 2024, via Skechers online and select retailers. In men’s sizing, retail is $125.
