These accolades come as the brand unveils its 2018 GO GOLF®
footwear collection. Known for its lightweight, technical, high
quality, and comfortable designs, the 2018 Skechers Performance GO
GOLF® line will offer a roomier fit in select styles with the
introduction of Skechers Relaxed Fit®. This uniquely Skechers
approach to comfort has proven extremely popular across both men’s
and women’s lifestyle categories throughout the Skechers
portfolio.
“We are excited about the 2018 collection,” said Lafe
Christopherson, vice president of Footwear Design for Skechers
Performance. “With the addition of Skechers Relaxed Fit®, we can
now offer the performance qualities of our GO GOLF® line to more
golfers who are already fans of the added comfort found in our
lifestyle products.”
“Golf is a very important part of our business as it combines
lifestyle and performance and is turning into a sport that is
enjoyed by customers of all ages,” said Robert Greenberg, Skechers
chief executive officer. “This year we have experienced incredible
growth and interest in our golf product around the world and expect
that the opportunity in this category will only accelerate as we
continue to leverage our best innovations while introducing new and
exciting product into 2018.”
Skechers Performance has also seen incredible success on the
golf course this year with its roster of elite athletes, who
together have combined to win a total of five times in 2017: Colin
Montgomerie, wearing the GO GOLF Elite V.3TM, won his second title
in the last five weeks at the SAS Championship in Cary, North
Carolina. Brooke Henderson recently captured her second win of 2017
at the New Zealand Women’s Open while wearing the Skechers GO GOLF
Eagle™. Wesley Bryan, wearing the Skechers GO GOLF Pro 2™, won his
first career PGA event in April at the RBC Heritage. And two weeks
later, Matt Atkins won his first Web.com Tour event at the El
Bosque Mexico Championship while also wearing the Skechers GO GOLF
Pro 2™.
“The performance team amazes me with the creativity and
cutting-edge designs they are constantly devising,” added Matt
Kuchar, Skechers Performance elite athlete, who works closely with
the brand’s product development team on the Skechers GO GOLF® PRO
series. “The shoes I wear have to strike a balance between
functionality and comfort and every pair of Skechers Performance
golf shoes I have ever put on do exactly that.”
