Snoop Dogg is well known for his colorful and eclectic choice of footwear.
A pioneer of G-funk gangsta rap, Snoop, otherwise known as Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., is a legend in his field. The rapper is, for many, the epitome of West Coast hip-hop culture. This title is well-documented in his street-style-inspired looks and penchant for vibrant sneakers.
Throughout his career, the performer has regularly laced up unique sneakers in a range of silhouettes and styles both on and off the red carpet, hailing from brands including Converse, Adidas, Nike and Skechers — with whom he collaborated on a sneaker capsule collection. For especially formal occasions, however, the “Doggystyle” musician often laces into brogues and wingtip shoes from brands including Stacy Adams.
In addition to Skechers, Snoop Dogg has also dropped co-branded shoes and capsule lines over the years with a range of brands, including Adidas, Philipp Plein and Duke & Dexter. In honor of the musician’s masterful style, FootwearNews is recounting some of Snoop’s best footwear looks over the years.
