Hey folks, guess what? Skechers is making its way into the professional basketball scene! They just announced that they’re launching two new shoes next week, and they’re super stoked about it. The SKX Resagrip and SKX Float are mid-top style shoes that combine comfort with innovative technology. And you know what’s even cooler? Julius Randle from the New York Knicks and Terance Mann from the Los Angeles Clippers are going to be the first basketball players to rock these kicks. They’ve signed on as brand ambassadors for Skechers and will be representing the brand in their campaigns. Talk about a slam dunk partnership!
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Skechers is known for their casual and comfy shoes, right? Well, they’ve been making some serious moves in the performance and athletic footwear game. They’ve been sponsoring major pickleball events and signing pro pickleball athletes. They even launched their first soccer cleats, the SKX_01, in the U.K. and Europe. And get this, they’ve got pro soccer player Harry Kane on their team. He plays for Bayern Munich in Germany. Skechers is really kicking it up a notch!
But wait, there’s more! Skechers also makes specialized shoes for golf, and they’ve got pro golfer Matt Fitzpatrick on their brand ambassador roster. And in the MLB, they’ve got Clayton Kershaw from the Los Angeles Dodgers. That’s quite the lineup, don’t you think?
And here’s the juicy gossip. Rumor has it that Skechers is trying to woo Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia 76ers to join their basketball brand ambassador squad. Apparently, he was spotted wearing Skechers shoes during practice, and the Skechers performance staff were there too. Sounds like a match made in basketball heaven!
So, let’s talk about these new basketball shoes. The SKX Resagrip is all about form and function. It’s got next-level cushioning and responsiveness for those quick and explosive movements on the court. And the SKX Float sneaker? It offers stability, flexibility, and a great court feel. Both shoes have Skechers Hyper Burst cushioning in the midsole and a Hyper Burst Pro sock liner. They’re the real deal, according to Terance Mann. He loves that Skechers is an L.A.-based brand and that he can meet with them in person to chat about the shoes. Talk about a personal touch!
Julius Randle is also thrilled to be working with Skechers. He thinks it’s an incredible experience. And you know what? He’s right. They’re new to the basketball scene, so they’ve got the chance to do some really exciting things outside the box. They’re all about making a positive and impactful impact. Way to go, Skechers!
So, keep your eyes peeled next week because Skechers’ basketball footwear collection will be available online, at select Skechers retail stores, and at select retailers and Skechers stores in the Philippines and China. Get ready to step up your basketball game with Skechers!
