Skechers Football Releases First Harry Kane Player Edition Boot
(Press Release)
The Exclusive Skechers SKX_1.5 Design Celebrates Kane’s Career and Golden Boot-Winning Mentality
MANILA – Skechers honours one of the best strikers in football today with the arrival of Harry Kane’s first Player Edition boot. The Skechers SKX_1.5 signature style follows an incredible year where he earned the 2024 European Golden Boot as Europe’s best goalscorer and recently made history by becoming the first English player to score 10 goals in a Champions League campaign. The Bayern Munich star has debuted the boots on the pitch on April 4th, when his team faced FC Augsburg.
“It’s been my dream since childhood to have my own signature boot,” said Harry Kane. “I worked with the team at Skechers to make it personal, to make it a piece of my story. Every detail reflects what motivates me as a player—always wanting to improve and working hard to gain those plusses, those small percentages every day. I'm excited to share these boots. I hope people love them, feel confident when wearing them and appreciate the features that make these boots truly mine. Skechers Football has really delivered on comfort, too.”
“Harry Kane was the first elite player to wear Skechers Football bootsand helped launchour football business, so it was always clear that our first Player Edition design would feature his signature,” added Greg Smith, VP of Product Development and Merchandising for Skechers Performance. “More than just a celebration of Harry’s athleticism and performance on the pitch, we’re recognizing his ability to inspire the next generation of athletes around the globe. Anyone at any age can lace up in this boot and work hard to make their dreams a reality all with the amazing comfort that only Skechers offers.”
Featuring Harry’s signature, the red and white colors are a nod to Harry’s current clubs—England and Bayern Munich—with gold detailing that recognizes Harry’s golden boot-winning mentality. Every plus symbol throughout the upper represents the extra effort that he gives every day to improve and work hard, adding up to a big difference. 36 of those plus symbols are in gold to recognize the 36 goals that Harry scored during his debut season with Bayern Munich to earn the Bundesliga’s Top Goal Scorer Prize.
Having worn the Skechers SKX_1.5 Elite style in several colorways since signing with the brand, it made sense to transform Harry’s boot into his first-ever signature pair. The Harry Kane Player Edition boot is available in Academy and Youth versions of the SKX_1.5 in the Philippines so that players of all ages can emulate their favorite star player. This boot is designed for striking the ball with a custom last meticulously crafted to optimize comfort and deliver a perfect fit for enhancing touch on the pitch.
