Doja Cat is now the first-ever artist-in-residence for Skechers Uno, and she kicked off the partnership by rocking a pair of the kicks at the Time100 Gala.
The annual gala, which went down in New York City on Wednesday night (April 26), saw Doja wear a custom dress she designed herself along with Cierra Boyd of Frisk Me Good and creative director and stylist Brett Alan Nelson. It was made from almost 70 pairs of deconstructed black Skechers Uno sneakers.
“Skechers has given me a new canvas to create,” the “Juicy” rapper said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “I can’t wait to show everyone what we are building.”

While the exact sneakers she wore at the gala aren’t available, a similar version can be purchased now online and in Skechers retail stores.
The kicks come in a variety of 10 colors, as well as an option between medium and wide widths. They also have a built-in, hidden one-inch heel.
