On Instagram, the Filipino shoe designer shared a video of the beauty queen unboxing the special tribute pair.
'Originally it was a tribute to her journey representing the Philippines on the Grand International stage with all her heart — and now it's a celebration for being crowned as our first Miss Grand International. This pair truly immortalizes her legacy and inspiring journey,' Bragais wrote in the caption.
CJ expressed her delight in receiving the shoes, failing to stop herself from being emotional.
'Abot pangarap lang dati. Nasa kamay ko na siya,' she said.
The tribute shoes, officially named 'CJ,' will be made available to the public. Aside from the nude glossy version, it will also come in other colors.
CJ was officially crowned as Miss Grand International 2024 last month in Bangkok, Thailand, and made history as the first Filipina beauty queen to receive the golden crown.
