The Skechers Soccer range includes three Elite styles available for men and women. The Skechers Razor is a lightweight speed boot with an explosive track-inspired design to maximize acceleration and energy return. It features a carbon-infused soleplate for responsive power and agility during play. The SKX_01 is ideal for striking the ball with a custom last meticulously crafted to optimize comfort and deliver a perfect fit for enhancing touch on the field. Both boots are available in standard low-profile with the SKX_01 also available in a high-top version.

“We started with great ambitions last summer launching Skechers Football in Europe with Harry Kane—who earned the Golden Boot in our shoes this past season—and now we’re bringing our incredible offering to football-loving markets worldwide as part of our global expansion,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “Harry, along with our entire team of elite athletes, illustrate how many of the best and brightest players in the world want to wear Comfort That Performs. Skechers Football (Soccer) boots offer innovation, performance and comfort that is unmatched on the pitch. And as we continue to grow our roster and expand the reach of the collection, we’re introducing an expanded range of boots with Academy and Youth styles this summer—a true evolution for Skechers Football one year from launching.”

Beyond the Elite styles, Skechers will soon introduce a new line of entry boots perfect for all levels of play with maximized performance and comfort; as well as Youth and Kids boots for the next generation of players that want to emulate their favorite stars, featuring an adaptable fit and enhanced comfort in every pair. Both ranges will be available in both firm ground and turf styles.

Skechers Soccer launched at the start of the 2023/24 season when the brand signed Harry Kane as the first pro to compete in the boot. Skechers has since expanded its roster with a number of Premier League athletes including the just-signed West Ham United and Ghana National Team winger Mohammed Kudus, Arsenal and Ukrainian National Team defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, Nottingham Forest and Swedish National Team forward Anthony Elanga, as well as additional men’s and women’s professional athletes globally.

Beyond soccer, the Skechers team of elite athletes competing in the brand’s performance footwear includes NBA stars Julius Randle and Terance Mann; golfers Matt Fitzpatrick and Brooke Henderson; Major League Baseball players Clayton Kershaw, Chris Taylor, Brendan Donovan, Aaron Nola, and Wade Miley; and pickleball pros Tyson McGuffin and Catherine Parenteau.

The Skechers Soccer collection is available at Skechers websites, select Skechers retail stores, as well as specialty football retailers worldwide. Soccer fans can get behind-the-scenes access to Skechers Soccer product launches and more by following @skechersfootball on Instagram and TikTok.
