SKECHERS USA, Inc. (NYSE:SKX) today announced that it was named
Best Lifestyle Brand of the Year at The Sports Trade Awards. This
achievement follows a year when SKECHERS won multiple industry
awards in the United States, including Running Design Excellence
and Children’s Design Excellence from Footwear Plus magazine, and
Footwear News Brand of the Year for the Skechers GO collection.
SKECHERS was also named Fashion Brand of the Year at the 2014
Footwear Industry Awards in the UK.
Peter Youell, Managing Director of SKECHERS UK and Ireland
commented: “This most recent achievement reaffirms SKECHERS’
heritage as a leading lifestyle footwear brand, and reflects the
strong foundation of our business. We are extremely proud to
receive this recognition from The Sports Trade Awards, especially
amongst such notable brands that were nominated in our categories.
Continuing this momentum through the second half of 2014, SKECHERS
will continue to develop exceptional lifestyle footwear across our
women’s, men’s and kids divisions, as well as award-winning
performance footwear.”
Paul Ryder, event director and publisher of the SGB group of
magazines, said: “The 2014 Sports Trade Awards provided industry
members with an opportunity to commend those who have achieved and
contributed the most to the trade this year. We were amazed by the
response we received – the awards have become an established event
on the sporting industry calendar and we look forward to next
year!”
Now in its second year, the prestigious awards event was held in
June during the STAG UK Buying Show and organized by Datateam
Business Media. These independent, credible and ethical awards
offer a level playing field for brands, retailers and individuals
to shine and be commended for their successes of the past year.
The Sports Trade Awards recognize excellence at every level, and
SKECHERS won over a strong competitive field that included Nike,
Adidas, Under Armour, Quicksilver and Fila. In addition, SKECHERS
was highly commended in the Best Sports Brand Category alongside
Nike, Adidas, New Balance and Asics.

general economic, political and market conditions including the
ongoing global economic slowdown and market instability; consumer
preferences and rapid changes in technology in the highly

changes in fashion trends, consumer demand for the products and the
various market factors described above; sales levels during the

New risks emerge from time to time and the companies cannot predict
all such risk factors, nor can the companies assess the impact of
all such risk factors on their respective businesses or the extent
to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any

you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements
as a prediction of actual results. Moreover, reported results
