After taking
home her very first Olympic gold medal Friday during the United States women’s
4×100 relay win, star sprinter
Sha’Carri Richardson had
another show-stealing moment on Saturday while watching Team USA men’s
basketball.
Seated courtside
with names including Carmelo Anthony and Jimmy Fallon, Richardson paired a
matching denim jacket and jeans with a striking red colorway of the Pharrell
Williams-designed Louis Vuitton Speedy P9 bag. But it was her customized
one-of-one corset made of deconstructed
Nike Dunk sneakers
that had fans on social media abuzz.

Richardson’s top was designed by Cierra Boyd, who uses the
Instagram handle
@friskmegood and specializes in repurposing footwear and turning it into
clothing. Boyd’s
e-commerce site sells a variety of sneaker corsets using shoes such as
the
Air Jordan 1,
Nike Dunk,
Nike Air Force 1 and Nike Air Max 1. Prices range from $225 to $325.
The designs on Boyd’s site each use one sneaker style apiece, but
the custom creation for Richardson blended multiple colorways of the Dunk Low
including the
“Medium Curry,” “Medium Olive Hemp,” and “Cacao Wow.”
In an Instagram story, Boyd shared a behind-the-scenes look at the
making of Richardson’s bespoke corset, showing that 12 different
earth-tone
Nike Dunk Lows were considered for the project. Boyd added that she
also created matching bottoms for Richardson’s deconstructed Dunk look,
although that piece wasn’t revealed.

Richardson stood out yet again during the U.S. women’s 4x100m
final win Friday, where she wore a pair of
Nike Maxfly 2
track spikes in a bright “Electric
Green” shade. Patterned with Nike’s safari print, many members of the U.S.
women’s team have been wearing the shoe in an “Electric Orange” look, but Nike
gave Richardson her own exclusive colorway.
