The official award presentation took place on December 2 at the
29th annual FN Achievement Awards in New York City. Outstanding
leaders from the footwear industry and celebrity guests were in
attendance, including boxing legend and SKECHERS brand ambassador
Sugar Ray Leonard, who introduced Mr. Greenberg on stage to receive
his award.
“I want to thank Footwear News for their tremendous support
through the years and for honoring me with the Lifetime Achievement
Award,” said Robert Greenberg. “Building this company has been a
dream come true, and all of this would not be possible without the
support of my family and the wonderful team I get to work with
every day. As I look ahead and think about this amazing company—my
Picasso, I believe the brand has never looked better and the best
is yet to come. I’m excited to see the Company cross the $3 billion
mark this year, and we look forward to achieving a projected $6
billion in sales by 2020.”
Previous recipients for the Footwear News Lifetime Achievement
Award include Stuart Weitzman, Vince Camuto and Manolo Blahnik.
"How many people can say they've created an enormous powerhouse
footwear brand? In the shoe biz Robert Greenberg is a true legend,
the likes of which we may not see again,” said Michael Atmore,
Editorial Director, Footwear News. “His hands-on, street-smart
style has informed a legion of admirers while pushing Skechers to
record heights."
“I am so proud of this company and the legacy that Robert has
built,” said SKECHERS president Michael Greenberg. “My father is a
true visionary and his passion inspires all of us to work harder,
innovate and shoot for the moon. His intuition for identifying the
next big idea and creating footwear that consumers can’t get enough
of is truly remarkable. SKECHERS has grown into a global powerhouse
with a presence in 120 countries around the world, and none of this
would be possible without Robert’s leadership, product development
and marketing genius. Thank you Footwear News for recognizing his
remarkable achievements.”

growth, financial results and operations, its development of new
products, future demand for its products and growth across the
Company’s three main business channels and globally, its planned
expansion and opening of new stores, advertising and marketing

uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected in forward-looking statements. Factors that
might cause or contribute to such differences include international
economic, political and market conditions including the uncertainty
of sustained recovery in Europe; entry into the highly
competitive performance footwear market; sustaining, managing and
forecasting costs and proper inventory levels; losing any
significant customers; decreased demand by industry retailers and
cancellation of order commitments due to the lack of popularity of
particular designs and/or categories of products; maintaining brand
image and intense competition among sellers of footwear for
consumers; anticipating, identifying, interpreting or forecasting
changes in fashion trends, consumer demand for the products and the
various market factors described above; sales levels during the

exhaustive. The Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly
changing environment. 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 forward-looking statements.
Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual
results. Moreover, reported results should not be considered an
indication of future performance.
