Livvy Dunne rocked a matching accessory to look at her boyfriend, Paul Skenescaps off his unique rookie season… a pair of unique boots!
The foot warmers — which Dunne wore to cheer on the Pirates standout in his 2024-25 finale against the Yankees on Saturday — consisted of a white Skenes Pittsburgh jersey over a pair of white cowboy boots … and TMZ Sports has learned Jessica Martini made them by hand.
The artist tells us she recently came up with the idea for the shoes after leaving her job as a technical consultant… and after being able to make a few pairs for the women of MLB All-Stars Aaron Nola And Will Smith earlier this seasonshe contacted Dunne to see if the LSU gymnast would like one of her own gymnasts to cheer on her husband.
Martini says as soon as she got the nod…she went to work and drove about six hours to Pittsburgh to pick up the Skenes supplies.
Once secured and back in her garage, Martini cut out the uniform and placed it on the steps – and after a total of 20 hours… the masterpieces were ready for Dunne.
Livvy paired them with denim shorts and a black top for Skenes’ dominant two-inning performance against the Yankees… and she clearly loved them — posting photos of her in them all over her social media page. She even took a picture of it with Skenes herself!
This was the final pitch of Paul Skenes’ rookie season…

Martini says she was thrilled with the outcome… and says we shouldn’t be surprised if you see similar boots later this week – she says she already has a pair ready for Clayton Kershaw‘s wife for the Dodgers’ upcoming postseason run.
So far, the boots aren’t ready for public sale — Martini says the company is just getting off the ground — but she hopes to connect with a retail giant sooner rather than later so the general public can get their hands on them . sometime in the near future.
“I just want people to fall in love with this design,” she said, “and I want to be able to offer this design to anyone who contacts me.”
