Sneaker News Skechers has navigated the basketball shoe market largely as a silent partner, quietly supporting Brandblack and later the short-lived Big Baller Brand (remember that?). Now, they’re putting the S out in the forefront with in-house footwear models and an impressive roster of NBA athletes that includes New York Knicks forward Julius Randle and Clippers guard Terrance Mann.
The two pillars of the brand’s sublabel are the SKX Resagrip and the SKX Float. The former is built for quick guards, whereas the latter is tailored for general stability for the do-it-all type of player. Both utilize Goodyear® rubber outsoles for that proven stickiness, while in-house innovations such as Hyper Burst Pro™ sockliners provide cushioning and response.
Offered in both Low and Mid cuts, the Skechers SKX Resagrip and Float have been refreshed for the new year with a batch of exciting, high-vis colorways. There’s no shyness involved with this Spring 2024 line-up, as ample hits of bright neons, blazing hot oranges, and pastel purples cover all the corners of both models.
