Skechers has launched its newest performance footwear addition – Skechers Basketball® for men. The collection is now available in Malaysia, in four different ranges: SKX League High, SKX Nexus and SKX Resagrip, with SKX Reign to be available in retail at a later date.
In the competitive world of basketball, every step, jump, and pivot counts. Skechers has meticulously engineered these new performance basketball shoes to cater to the needs of both amateur and professional athletes. Combining Skechers’s cutting-edge technologies, these basketball shoes include various support mechanisms like external TPU plates for midfoot support, midfoot wraps, torsion systems, and ankle-lockdown features to ensure stability and security during high-intensity play.
Celebrating the launch, Skechers also announced its role as the ‘Official Footwear Sponsor’ of the Malacca Basketball Club (MBC) (@mbc.bball.official), a local professional basketball club in Malaysia. MBC Basketball Club began its journey in October 2021 under the guidance of former National Player Guganeswaran Batumalai (@alwingucoachguga). MBC became one of the notable basketball clubs in Malaysia in just three years by winning the National U-23 Development League 2023 and National U-20 Development League 2024. This partnership highlights Skechers’s commitment to supporting local sports talent.
