Snoop Dogg was spotted at the 2024 Olympics Torch Relay in Paris, France on Friday, wearing a pair of Gold Skechers.The rapper will be acting as an official NBC correspondent of The Games this year, which will run from July 26 to August 11.
The “Gin and Juice” rapper carried the Olympic torch through the Saint-Denis suburb of Paris. Before each Olympic Games, it is tradition to light the torch at the ruins of old Olympia in Greece and travel to the host country to connect the spirit of the ancient games to the current ones. This year, the flame traveled to France by boat, as requested by the Paris Organising Committee to show the country’s standpoint on sustainability.
Snoop Dogg was one of the final people in the torchbearers lineup which also included other stars like Salma Hayek, who was seen wearing white chunky sneakers as she arrived at the Versailles Palace.

Snoop Dogg was suited up in a white Olympic tracksuit that featured a white short orange lining along the sleeves that matched the logo at the center. To complete the look, the rapper slipped into a pair of custom Skechers sneakers. The high-top shoes featured a gold croc-embossed upper that featured a lace up closure and a red, white and blue tag along the tongue. The patriotic symbol matched the stream that laid along the side of the shoe, underneath an embroidered embellishment.
The set is a part of a five piece collection which was created by the footwear brand exclusively for Snoop Dogg’s appearance at The Games. Each pair comes with accents that relate to the rapper and Paris. Snoop Dogg is a consistent partner of Skechers and has even starred in the brand’s famous 2023 Super Bowl commercial alongside Martha Stewart and Tony Romo.
