Kane Laces Up With Skechers
England and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has entered a long-term partnership with US footwear brand Skechers.
The England captain will be at ‘the forefront of the performance brand’s first football boots launching in the UK and Europe in September’ and will appear in a multiplatform marketing campaign as brand ambassador.
The all-time top England goal scorer and three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner recently transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich for a reported fee of £86m.
Harry Kane, Bayern Munich and England Footballer, said, “It’s definitely a time of transition in my career and I’m thrilled to announce my signing with Skechers just as I’m making a big move.
“Ever since meeting the design team and seeing the boots for the first time, I felt confident that Skechers was onto something special. I’ve been wearing the boots for weeks, scoring in them in preseason. They’re unlike anything I’ve experienced before.
“Own it, own who you are. Own what you want to achieve. And that’s what I feel like I’ve done throughout my whole career. They’re the main messages I think my partnership with Skechers sends to people in general all around the world. I wouldn’t back a brand or gear if I didn’t 100% believe in it. This is the real deal.”
Michael Greenburg, President of Skechers, added, “We’ve been developing Skechers Football boots for some time and as we perfected the design, we enlisted players to test them and offer feedback—including one of the best on the pitch, the great Harry Kane.
“Harry had the entire football world following his every move over the last few weeks and his determination, skill, and leadership align perfectly with our plans for the sport. He already feels like part of the Skechers family. This first boot is just the beginning with more innovative Skechers Football boots featuring our signature comfort and performance technologies on the way.”
