Skechers Football previewed the next generation of its signature boot, the Skechers SKX_2, last week when Harry Kane, striker for the German professional football club Bayern Munich, wore the white and turquoise shoe at the FIFA Club World Cup quarter finals in the U.S.

“As we enter our third season in football, we continue to innovate, evolve and improve our offering so Harry Kane and all athletes can perform at their best,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “From the elite pros to the young academy players, we’ve listened to their feedback when designing the SKX_2; it carries over what they love about the original with incremental precision-engineered advancements to deliver comfort that performs when you need it most.”

In addition to the SKX_2 shoe, Skechers Football offers a comprehensive range of styles, catering to all players and surfaces, including the new white and turquoise CTRL^ pack.

  • The new SKX_2 Elite is for players who require precise strike control with a custom last crafted to optimize comfort and fit for enhanced touch on the pitch. It features a Hyper Burst Pro sockliner, a lightweight Skechers Fitknit upper and a multi-directional outsole for traction over multiple surfaces.
  • The Skechers Razor 1.5 Elite is a lightweight speed boot featuring a track-inspired design that maximizes acceleration and energy return. It features a carbon-infused soleplate for responsiveness and agility during play.

In addition to the Elite versions worn by pro footballers worldwide, Skechers also offers the SKX_2 and Razor in entry-level Academy boots for all levels of play, as well as youth and kids boots featuring an adaptable fit. Both ranges are available in firm ground and turf styles.

The global launch campaign for the SKX_2 and CTRL^ pack will feature Harry Kane and a roster of Skechers pro ambassador athletes, including winger Barış Alper Yılmaz from the Turkey National Team, West Ham United and Ghana National Team winger Mohammed Kudus, Real Betis and Spanish National Team midfielder Isco Alarcón, AS Roma and Italian National Team midfielder Niccolò Pisilli, AFC Bournemouth and Colombia National Team winger Luis Sinisterra, and Brighton & Hove Albion and Danish National Team midfielder Matt O’Riley.

Beyond football, Skechers also offers performance footwear for elite and casual athletes in basketball, golf, cricket, pickleball, padel, and running.

The new Skechers SKX_2 boot and the complete Skechers Football collection are available through Skechers and specialty football retailers worldwide.
