“My generation grew up with SKECHERS,” said Demi Lovato, “and now with all of their cool styles and fun colors I’m excited to help introduce the collection to a new generation by sharing this incredible brand’s campaign with my Lovatics!”

“With her amazing voice, distinct style, and unique personality, Demi Lovato represents everything we look for in a SKECHERS star,” began Michael Greenberg, president of SKECHERS. “Demi’s talent certifies her position as a pop music superstar as well as a powerful influencer with millions of fans around the globe. We expect her SKECHERS campaign will at the very least match the success and reach that Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Carrie Underwood previously brought to our brand.”

Lovato’s career kicked off with the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock and it didn’t take long for her to find major success in the music world. She’s recorded numerous multi-platinum and top ten chart singles spanning four studio albums. And now hot on the heels of her new hit single “Really Don’t Care,” Lovato will embark on her World Tour this September in support of her latest album Demi. Her social media reach is massive with 23.2 million followers on twitter, a facebook page liked over 35 million times, and an astounding billion music video views on VEVO. Plus more than 200 million on YouTube have viewed her cover of “Let It Go” from the soundtrack to Disney’s hit musical Frozen. In addition to her musical accomplishments, Lovato returned to television as a judge and mentor on seasons two and three of FOX’s The X-Factor and had a recurring role on the fifth season of Glee. The multitalented star also wrote the inspirational book Staying Strong: 365 Days A Year that debuted at number one on the New York Times bestsellers list in 2013.

The global SKECHERS footwear marketing campaign featuring Demi Lovato will extend across all platforms including television, print, online, outdoor and point of purchase.

SKECHERS USA, Inc. Sues Fila for Infringing on SKECHERS GO WALK® Product Line

Jul 10, 2014 • 9:00 am EDT

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– SKECHERS USA, Inc. (SKX), a global leader in the lifestyle and performance footwear industry recently called “the hottest major (footwear) brand in the U.S.” by Princeton Retail Analysis*, today announced that it filed a lawsuit against Fila U.S.A. Inc. for selling footwear that infringes on the popular SKECHERS GO WALK® product line.

The suit, filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, seeks compensatory and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief for infringing on SKECHERS’ patent and trade dress rights and for unfair competition and dilution. The suit states that Fila is selling the infringing products under the name Fila Amazen Memory Moc.

“As we’ve explained previously, SKECHERS has made extensive investment in designing, developing, advertising and patenting our SKECHERS GO WALK® product line and has built SKECHERS GO WALK® into a name and look globally recognized and synonymous with SKECHERS,” stated David Weinberg, Chief Operating Officer of SKECHERS. “Competing in the open marketplace is always preferable, but now Fila is selling its infringing footwear to SKECHERS wholesale customers and in other sales channels where SKECHERS GO WALK® is sold, and we believe this is causing us enormous damage. Our investment in SKECHERS GO WALK® requires us to respond in kind to any competitor attempting to gain an unfair advantage over SKECHERS and our retail partners by infringing on one of our most valuable intellectual properties. We will continue to enforce our intellectual property rights against any company that develops footwear that infringes on the patents and trade dress of SKECHERS GO WALK® as well as our other proprietary product lines.”

SKECHERS is being represented in the suit by Marshall Lerner of Kleinberg and Lerner in Los Angeles.

At the event held in Redondo Beach, CA on June 26, 2014, President Clinton spoke to 1,500 SKECHERS executives, team members and international partners about the importance of working together toward common goals for the sake of shared prosperity in the world. Using the successes of the Clinton Foundation in the context of ever-changing political and social challenges as his case-study, President Clinton said, “Within America, all over the world, people who believe in win-win scenarios, who really are trying to build networks of creative cooperation are making good things happen.”

At the conclusion of his remarks, President Clinton sat down for an on-stage interview with Michael Greenberg, president of SKECHERS, where they discussed importance of strong leadership, communication, service and social media within the global marketplace. After the event, Greenberg noted: “It was an incredible honor to sit down for a conversation with President Clinton this afternoon. His perseverance and commitment to action through the Clinton Foundation and beyond is an inspiration to all. The theme of the SKECHERS Global Conference this year was Innovate to Elevate and the President’s message about institutionalizing constant change in a positive way speaks strongly to our company, our culture and everyone who has helped make SKECHERS a success story around the world.”

Adding to the motivational themes of the day, the conference also featured an appearance by elite runner Meb Keflezighi, who was wearing Skechers GOmeb Speed 3 shoes when he became the first American male in over three decades to win the Boston Marathon.
