“I’ve been playing golf for a long time and Skechers is the first brand I’ve worked with that really understands comfort on the course,” said Bernhard Langer. “Their Skechers Slip-ins technology was perfect to help me through my Achilles rehab over the last year. That easy-on and off hands-free design with all the cushioning has made it so easy to feel confident for my return to Augusta.”

“It’s a privilege for Skechers to be on the course in Augusta with Bernhard Langer—an icon who has so much history at this tournament,” added Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “We collaborate with pros on tour to ensure that our footwear has the performance and comfort they need to perform at their best. Bernhard’s inspiring comeback at age 67 illustrates how important feeling good is to overcoming adversity—something that any player can experience with Skechers golf shoes.”

The Skechers GO GOLF Blade that Bernhard Langer and fellow Skechers athlete Matt Fitzpatrick will wear at The Masters features Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology. This waterproof design features lightweight and resilient ECOFLIGHT™ cushioning made with at least 10% recycled materials, a GRIPFLEX spikeless TPU outsole providing superior traction and stability, plus a high-performance Resamax® sockliner for all-day comfort on the course.

German golfer Bernhard Langer has been competing professionally since 1972 and has earned numerous accolades and more than 120 worldwide victories through a storied career spanning over 50 years. Langer holds the all-time record for most PGA Tour Champions wins at 47—including 12 Champions tour major victories and winning the Charles Schwab Cup six times. His 42 career wins on the European Tour rank 2^nd all-time. Langer previously won The Masters twice—in 1985 and 1993—and will return to Augusta this year. He’s received various awards throughout his career including winning the Byron Nelson Award for PGA Tour Champions player of the year seven times and earning the prestigious Payne Stewart Award in 2018.

Skechers Football Releases First Harry Kane Player Edition Boot

by Zach | Apr 3, 2025 | Press Release

Apr 3, 2025 • 7:00 am EDT

The Exclusive Skechers SKX_1.5 Design and Coordinated Apparel Celebrates Kane’s Career and Golden Boot-Winning Mentality

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Skechers honours one of the best strikers in football today with the arrival of Harry Kane’s first Player Edition boot. The Skechers SKX_1.5 signature style follows an incredible year where he earned the 2024 European Golden Boot as Europe’s best goalscorer and recently made history by becoming the first English player to score 10 goals in a Champions League campaign. The Bayern Munich star will debut the boots on the pitch tomorrow, April 4th, when his team faces FC Augsburg.

England men’s soccer captain and Bayern Munich striker, Harry Kane MBE, with the Harry Kane Player Edition SKX_1.5 Elite boot from Skechers Football.

“It’s been my dream since childhood to have my own signature boot,” said Harry Kane. “I worked with the team at Skechers to make it personal, to make it a piece of my story. Every detail reflects what motivates me as a player—always wanting to improve and working hard to gain those plusses, those small percentages every day. I’m excited to share these boots. I hope people love them, feel confident when wearing them and appreciate the features that make these boots truly mine. Skechers Football has really delivered on comfort, too.”

“Harry Kane was the first elite player to wear Skechers Football boots and helped launch our football business, so it was always clear that our first Player Edition design would feature his signature,” added Greg Smith, VP of Product Development and Merchandising for Skechers Performance. “More than just a celebration of Harry’s athleticism and performance on the pitch, we’re recognizing his ability to inspire the next generation of athletes around the globe. Anyone at any age can lace up in this boot and work hard to make their dreams a reality all with the amazing comfort that only Skechers offers.”

Featuring Harry’s signature and embossed HK initials, the red and white colors are a nod to Harry’s current clubs—England and Bayern Munich—with gold detailing on the soleplate that recognizes Harry’s golden boot-winning mentality. Every plus symbol throughout the upper represents the extra effort that he gives every day to improve and work hard, adding up to a big difference. 36 of those plus symbols are in gold to recognize the 36 goals that Harry scored during his debut season with Bayern Munich to earn the Bundesliga’s Top Goal Scorer Prize.

This launch is accompanied by a coordinated signature Skechers x Harry Kane apparel collection releasing alongside the Player Edition boot in the European market. Developed closely with the athlete, the apparel follows the tone of the boots with the red, white and gold design. The collection includes a striker tee and shorts, icon graphic tee, off-pitch shorts, and a track top.

Having worn the Skechers SKX_1.5 Elite style in several colorways since signing with the brand, it made sense to transform Harry’s boot into his first-ever signature pair. The Harry Kane Player Edition boot will also be made available on Academy and Youth versions of the SKX_1.5 so that players of all ages can emulate their favorite star player. This boot is designed for striking the ball with a custom last meticulously crafted to optimize comfort and deliver a perfect fit for enhancing touch on the pitch.

The Skechers Football collection, including the Harry Kane Player Edition, is available at Skechers websites, select Skechers stores, as well as specialty football retailers around the world. Football fans can get behind-the-scenes access to Skechers Football product launches and more by following @skechersfootball on Instagram and TikTok.

“This partnership is about more than just basketball. Skechers understands who I am on and off the court and what I need to be at my best,” said Kiki Iriafen, who will play in the SKX NEXUS™. “I love that the brand is based in my hometown of L.A., and has the global reach to help me inspire and impact more female athletes worldwide to pursue their dreams. Skechers does comfort better than any other brand I’ve experienced, which gives me confidence to have them as my teammate as I enter into this next chapter of my life.”

“After two years on the court in the NBA and WNBA, it’s a big moment for Skechers Basketball to sign Kiki, our first college player, and embark on the journey with her as she begins her professional career,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “Kiki is a rising star with a bright future in the league. We look forward to supporting her from the draft through her first season and beyond. As the second woman on our basketball roster, she also furthers our mission to engage with female athletes around the world so that more players everywhere experience the signature Comfort That Performs of Skechers.”

Okikiola “Kiki” Iriafen gained national attention at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles where she set school records for points and rebounds and was named a McDonald’s All-American in 2021 and rated a five-star recruit by ESPN. Her collegiate career started at Stanford where she was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team by the media in 2022 and later earned Pac-12 Most Improved Player of the Year and All-Pac-12 Team in 2024. That year she also received the Katrina McClain Award, presented to the best power forward in NCAA women’s basketball. After earning an engineering degree from Stanford in 2024, Iriafen transferred to USC as a graduate student for her final year of college eligibility. She was recently named to the first team All-Big Ten ahead of the 2025 NCAA women’s basketball tournament where USC entered as a #1 seed. Iriafen is averaging 18.6 PPG and 8.5 RPG for USC this season and will soon begin her pro career with the WNBA draft on April 14 in New York.

Perfect for players who desire a fast and responsive court-feel, the SKX NEXUS™ worn by Iriafen is a low-top court shoe designed for speed, stability and support. Offering exceptional comfort with resilient Skechers Move Foam™, every pair features a breathable mesh upper, lockdown ankle support in the heel, and Goodyear® rubber with a torsion-plate to amplify traction for quick cuts on the court. The style joins an innovative Skechers Basketball collection that includes the lightweight SKX Resagrip™ with advanced cushioning, the SKX Float™ for exceptional stability and control, and the SKX Reign™ that promotes elevation and intense traction.

Iriafen joins a Skechers roster that includes WNBA star Rickea Jackson, along with NBA stars Joel Embiid, Julius Randle, Norman Powell, Jabari Walker, Josh Green, and Terance Mann. Additional elite athletes around the world competing in Skechers Performance footwear includes golfers Matt Fitzpatrick and Brooke Henderson; soccer players Harry Kane, Baris Alper Yilmaz and Mohammed Kudus; pickleball pros Tyson McGuffin and Catherine Parenteau; and baseball players Clayton Kershaw and Aaron Nola, among others.

Both shoes are available as standard low-profile, while the SKX_1.5 is also available with a taller collar for added support.

In addition to the Elite styles, Skechers also offers a line of Academy boots perfect for all levels of play with maximized performance and comfort, along with Youth and Kids football boots for the next generation of players who want to emulate their favourite stars, featuring an adaptable fit and improved comfort in every pair. Both ranges are available in firm ground and turf models.

Skechers Football launched at the start of the 2023/24 season when the brand signed Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane as the first pro to compete in the boot. Skechers has since expanded its roster with several elite athletes including winger Baris Alper Yilmaz from the Turkey National Team, West Ham United and Ghana National Team winger Mohammed Kudus, Real Betis midfielder Isco Alarcón, Nottingham Forest and Swedish National Team forward Anthony Elanga, Arsenal and Ukrainian National Team defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, as well as additional men’s and women’s professional athletes globally.

Beyond football, the Skechers team of elite athletes competing in the brand’s performance footwear includes basketball stars Joel Embiid, Julius Randle, Terance Mann, Norman Powell, Jabari Walker and Rickea Jackson; golfers Matt Fitzpatrick and Brooke Henderson; pickleball pros Tyson McGuffin and Catherine Parenteau; and Major League Baseball players Clayton Kershaw and Aaron Nola, among others.

The Skechers Football collection is available on Skechers websites, in select Skechers retail shops and at specialist football retailers worldwide. Football fans can get behind the scenes of Skechers Football product launches and more by following @skechersfootball on Instagram and TikTok.
