“Every Skechers store brings valuable engagement with consumers to build an increased awareness for our brand,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers.”

He continues: “Skechers stores are the best place for fans to experience the signature comfort, style and innovation of our products—and when they do, they’re loyal for life. It started in 1995 with the original Skechers store opening in Manhattan Beach near our corporate offices.

“From there, we opened our first international store in Japan, the 100^th in Times Square, the 3,000^th in China and now our 5,000^th store in Colombia. Every location offers the same look and feel to carry the Skechers brand with consistency across six continents.
