The artist tells us she just recently came up with the idea for the footwear after leaving her tech consulting job ... and after she was able to make some pairs for the wives of MLB All-Stars Aaron Nola and Will Smith earlier this season, she reached out to Dunne to see if the LSU gymnast would want some of her own to cheer on her man.
