Dodgers future Hall of Fame pitcher Clayton Kershaw wore the first ever Skechers baseball cleats in last night’s NLDS Game 2 start, and the brand has announced a multi-year partnership with Kershaw.
Kershaw is now wearing the Skechers “one of a kind cleat” which looks more-or-less identical to the Under Armour cleat he has worn for six seasons, the UA Ignite. Kershaw’s partnership will also include trainers that will be sold at retail. According to a Skechers press release, Kershaw will appear in global marketing campaigns for Skechers men’s performance and athletic lifestyle footwear set to launch in 2020.
Kershaw described that he’s been involved in the product development process in the press release:
“I’ve been working with the design team on several styles, and I am extremely impressed with the performance and comfort offered by Skechers. We have some unexpected and exciting ideas that fans will love.”
The three-time Cy Young just came off another Hall of Fame season in which he pitched to a 16-5 record with a 3.05 ERA. For most pitchers, that’s a career year… for Kershaw its the first season since his rookie year (2008) that he finished with an ERA over 3.00!
Skechers has always had the reputation of being for an older crowd, so this signing will most definitely bring a little added trolling to the 31-year old Kershaw’s plate.
I played and coached professional baseball for 12 years, been a scout and high school coach for 20; I like the look of these. Would love to try them!
Spikes and turfs look great!
I would get these if they’re available.
I would love to wear a pair of Skechers cleats. I go to Capistrano Valley Christian School in San Juan Capistrano and Skechers should consider our school to be the first team in SoCal and the country to wear these.
Mom of a 13 year old boy “baller” baseball and is a Kershaw fan. He wants a pair of these turf cleats.
I would love to wear a pair of SKECHERS spikes, especially in Dodger Blue like Clayton Kershaw’s in size 12 3E or 4E. Where can I find them in the size I need? I just bought a pair of SKECHERS Slip On’s in Size 12 Extra-Wide and I love them!
Would like to try rubber cleats. I am a 44 year old. Body is not the same, play speed paintball because i still have that competition itch, so we use cleats.
I was wondering if you guys would ever release these or have a special order I would love to try them as well as my 10-year-old
I would love to try these cleats. I cannot find Red, wide cleats for the last 2 years.
Size 12.5 wide / color Red.
