SKECHERS USA, Inc. (NYSE:SKX) today announced that the SKECHERS
KIDS collection has been recognized with a design excellence award
in the Children’s category from trade publication Footwear Plus.
This marks the Company’s ninth overall Plus Award for footwear
design excellence and the third for SKECHERS KIDS.
Created by Footwear Plus and co-sponsored by the Fashion
Footwear Association of New York (FFANY), the 18th Annual Plus
Awards were nominated and voted on by thousands of footwear
retailers and consumers nationwide in recognition of the industry’s
most compelling product offerings.
“It’s a great honor for the entire team at SKECHERS to receive
the Plus Award from Footwear Plus recognizing the excellence of our
SKECHERS KIDS collection,” said SKECHERS president Michael
Greenberg.“We’re exceptionally proud of our boys’ and girls’
product and some of our latest innovations are currently found in
the Kids’ collection in our lighted footwear. We’re delivering
great product for every age from toddlers to tweens with fun,
bright and lightweight designs that kids everywhere love for school
and play. And the collection is strong not only in the United
States but around the globe as well—we can’t wait to build on this
with amazing product coming later this year for
back-to-school.”
“Congratulations to Skechers on winning the Plus Award for
design excellence in the children’s category,” noted Greg Dutter,
editorial director of Footwear Plus magazine. “Skechers’ extensive
collection spans a broad range of boys and girls styles that
feature lights, colors and creative concepts that grab the
attention of kids while the quality constructions and proven
comfort features appeal to parents. It’s a winning formula in
children’s footwear design.”
