LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk, presented by Kinecta Federal Credit Union, is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a fundraising goal of $2.5 million for youth with special needs, public schools and national college scholarships.

“Over 15 years, our Walk has changed the lives of thousands of kids. Back in 2009, a passionate, devoted group of friends set their minds to giving children with diverse needs more access to programs, better education, and friendship. Today, we are making an indelible impact on children, families, volunteers, and companies that support our work,” said Michael Greenberg, founder of the Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk. “There is so much to be grateful for. Together, we have created a vibrant Friendship Foundation and have laid the groundwork for our upcoming world-class Friendship Campus, which will serve individuals with physical and intellectual diversities; a lifeline fund that has transformed our public schools; and a national college scholarship program that has turned dreams into reality for high-achieving students who might not otherwise be able to afford college.
“Fundamentally, the Walk has also taught our children that any obstacle is surmountable when you are passionate, committed and determined—knowledge they will have for the rest of their lives. Our 15th anniversary is a tremendous milestone, and nothing makes me happier than celebrating this beautiful day that allows all of us to give back, with love and gratitude, to the children in our world.”
“It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish—that’s what I tell the kids, and that’s why I’m proud to be part of this year’s Walk,” said actor and icon Mr. T. “I used to work as a teacher’s assistant in the Board of Education, where I could guide students who had a lot of potential but needed help to get there. All kids can succeed when they’ve got the right tools and support. I’m proud to join Brooke, Amanda and the thousands who will be part of this event for our children. Our kids work hard and we should have their backs, every single day.”
Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk donations support the future Friendship Campus (The Greenberg Family / Skechers Center)—a $55 million, 3.25-acre campus that will offer a life-changing community for friendship and learning. Planned for completion by year-end 2025, the facility will include numerous vocational programs including a Creative Arts Center, Culinary Institute, Recreation Center, Life Skills programming, and early education and mentoring opportunities, giving young adults the tools to transition to the workforce and find lifelong passion and purpose.
The Campus will also be home to the new headquarters for the Friendship Foundation, which offers companionship, celebrates uniqueness and encourages acceptance for all with diverse abilities. The organization offers 60+ in-person programs such as art, music, fitness, sign language, science, social emotional wellness and yoga, as well as pop-up programs like virtual scavenger hunts and talent shows that are free for anyone to attend locally and across the United States.
Academically, the Walk supports public school education foundations—reducing class sizes, updating labs, libraries and facilities and protecting teachers’ jobs. The Skechers Foundation’s national scholarship program also gives a portion of Walk proceeds to students with financial need and proven excellence in academics, athletics and leadership, donating more than $1.1 million in scholarships to date.
“Kinecta has been an active community partner in the South Bay for over 80 years, and giving back is a big part of what we do,” said Keith Sultemeier, president and chief executive officer of Kinecta, which will sponsor a Financial Empowerment Academy at the new Friendship Campus. “At Kinecta, we are committed to the future success of our community, and we believe this requires investing in our youth through education. We’re proud to continue as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2023 Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk and support local public schools and education foundations.”
Featuring a cast of performers including Young Selena singer and America’s Got Talent golden buzzer winner Madison Taylor Baez, Team Siwa’s pop group XOMG POP! and teen group FuturePop, the Walk has been supported by numerous celebrities and athletes including Sugar Ray Leonard, Tony Romo, Howie Long, Meb Keflezighi, Jimmy Kimmel, Denise Austin, Kelly Brooke, Ellen K, Camila Alves-McConaughey, and dozens of Young Hollywood celebrities from Nickelodeon, Disney, Netflix, Apple TV+ and Hulu, including Logan Shroyer, Dani Bowman, Lily Brooks O’Briant and more.
Sponsors and walkers are welcome to sign up in person at the event or online at skechersfriendshipwalk.com. Participants can also follow the event on Facebook, X and Instagram.

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Skechers is giving its Visual Artist Series a vibrant burst of energy with the eclectic cast behind one of Spain’s most influential artists, Ricardo Cavolo.

“My art tells stories of characters and their experiences through images that transcend culture and time,” said Ricardo Cavolo. “To see them continue their journey into this new dimension, where they now walk among us, is such a beautiful concept. It’s lovely to see Skechers celebrating art, and how they’re bringing artists and the fashion industry together to give us this incredible experience.”
“Ricardo Cavolo’s art is one of a kind. Fiery, direct and straight to the heart—literally. You can feel it the moment you see it—both in his images and on the collection’s uppers, which he personally designed,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “In a world where conversations are exploring how best to protect and nurture our creative voice, we are proud to work hand-in-hand with great talent through our Visual Artist Series and show how their ingenuity inspires us. Cavolo’s symbols of love, empathy and hope are all of this, personified.”
A multimedia artisan known for connecting folk and traditional arts with spiritual imagery and modern tattoo culture, Cavolo transforms timeless icons into a dynamic narrative, focusing on portraiture and playfully depicting protagonists through symmetry and symbolism. Known for his illustrations, publications, fashion collaborations and wide range of globally commissioned works, Cavolo’s art has appeared on public murals and in exhibitions from Paris to Moscow, Mexico City and Hong Kong.
The Skechers x Ricardo Cavolo capsule is the second to debut in Skechers’ Visual Artist Series. Launched by American artist and designer Jen Stark’s hypnotic collection of iconic drip patterns this summer, the brand’s gallery of wearable art spotlights visionaries’ distinct designs on Skechers product in a run of launches through 2024. The Skechers x Ricardo Cavolo limited-edition capsule of three unique styles is now available at skechers.com, Skechers retail stores in the U.S. and select global markets.

Lawsuit Represents One of Many Enforcement Measures That Skechers Is Taking Worldwide to Protect the Brand’s Skechers Hands Free Slip-Ins® Intellectual Property Rights
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Skechers USA, Inc., The Comfort Technology CompanyTM, announced today that it has obtained a European Union-wide preliminary injunction against Dockers by Gerli (“Dockers”) for selling a shoe style that infringes on Skechers’ proprietary Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® designs.
Skechers sued Dockers for design infringement in the Dusseldorf Regional Court in Dusseldorf, Germany. In an October 5, 2023 opinion, the German court found that the Dockers shoe infringed on one of Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®’ heel pillow designs, and issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting Dockers from continuing to offer its shoe for sale in the European Union.
Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers, stated: “This lawsuit is one of the many enforcement measures that Skechers is taking against third parties worldwide to protect its intellectual property rights in Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® designs and technologies. While the ruling can be appealed, we are very pleased that the German court in the first instance acknowledged Skechers’ rights and immediately stopped the sale of the offending shoe style throughout the European Union. Skechers invests tremendous resources into product development to introduce fresh, unique and exciting footwear to its customers year in and year out. While Skechers always prefers to compete in the marketplace rather than the courtroom, the Company has no choice but to seek legal recourse when competitors infringe on our intellectual property rights. Skechers will continue to aggressively police and enforce its proprietary rights in Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®.”
