LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Building on the successful launch of its pickleball program, Skechers, The Comfort Technology Company™, is expanding its presence in this fast-growing sport through a multi-year agreement as the Official Footwear Sponsor of the Carvana Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour, starting with the 2023 season.

“It was less than a year ago that we launched Skechers Viper Court footwear, and the positive response from the pickleball community of athletes and fans has been phenomenal,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “After the nationally televised attention generated by the Skechers Invitational last summer, it became clear that Skechers needed to be part of the entire tour. It’s a perfect fit as our own pros Catherine Parenteau and Tyson McGuffin are PPA athletes, and an incredible opportunity to broaden our presence in the sport as we expand Skechers’ pickleball footwear offering to include new styles in 2023.”

Stops on the PPA Tour will feature activations by Skechers where spectators and athletes can experience and purchase Skechers Viper Court footwear as well as the brand’s off-court styles and apparel. In addition, staff will wear Skechers at all tournaments, and referees will be outfitted in Skechers at select major tournaments.

“Skechers is a partner we are thrilled to link up with because the brand has proven itself to be a committed promoter of the sport of pickleball,” said Connor Pardoe, CEO and commissioner of the PPA Tour. “With the help and marketing outreach commanded by a major global powerhouse brand like Skechers, we look forward to introducing America’s fastest growing sport to new fans and players around the world.”

Skechers kicked off 2022 by signing its first two elite pickleball athletes, Catherine Parenteau and Tyson McGuffin, who compete wearing Skechers Pickleball footwear and Skechers-branded apparel. The brand then introduced its pickleball collection at the 2022 US Open Pickleball Championships in Naples, Florida in April, and has had a presence at multiple pickleball tournaments across the country.

Skechers pickleball footwear brings signature Skechers comfort and innovation to the court. The Skechers Viper Court provides responsive performance in a breathable, lightweight design. The enhanced grip and stability of the Goodyear® rubber outsole paired with a shock-absorbing Arch Fit® insole deliver comfort and support, match after match. Set to launch in 2023, the Skechers Viper Court Pro is a lighter and faster high-performance pickleball shoe designed for and worn by pros, but also suitable for everyday players looking for stability and a secure platform in their game.

Styles in the Skechers pickleball footwear collection are available at Skechers retail stores and skechers.com, as well as key retail partners and specialty shops.

Culture and Entertainment Icon Takes Us Into His World for “All Walks of Life – Snoop Style”

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Dogs are a crowd pleaser in Big Game commercials, so Skechers teamed up with the most famous and coolest one of all—Snoop Dogg.

In the thirty second Skechers x Snoop Dogg commercial, which will air in the United States and Canada during the fourth quarter of the Big Game on Sunday, February 12, Snoop rides, chills, clips and coaches in Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® during an action-packed day that takes him from his paper delivery route to the Oval Office. The “All Walks of Life” concept was an idea from Snoop himself.

“I’m a man of the people. I’m excited to partner with Skechers, who always brings something for everyone—just like me,” said Snoop. “In this commercial, I got together with some of my friends, who also all have very active lifestyles and want to be stylish and comfortable at the same time, which we can do with Skechers. They’re shoes for all walks of life.”

The Skechers x Snoop Dogg commercial, which features Snoop’s megahit “Who am I? (What’s my name?),” follows Snoop through a whirlwind day as he demonstrates how Skechers fits every part of his outlandish life. Along for the ride in cameos are fellow Skechers ambassadors Howie Long, Tony Romo, and Snoop’s close friend Martha Stewart.

With few exceptions, Skechers has been a perennial advertiser during the Big Game since first appearing in a spot starring Joe Montana in 2010. One of the brand’s most talked-about spots from 2012 featured Mark Cuban watching a French bulldog named Mr. Quiggly racing in Skechers GOrun footwear. Last year, the brand featured Willie Nelson in its 10^th campaign centered on the Big Game.

Skechers has been leading the industry in comfort with the development of innovative technologies and materials for many years. Consumers can only find these signature features in Skechers products, including Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®, Skechers Arch Fit®, and Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam®, among others. The complete range of Skechers footwear for men, women and kids is available in Skechers retail stores as well as skechers.com, plus department stores and footwear retailers around the globe.
