Skechers Football new design is crafted to help players take control of the ball and the game, offering a fresh take on comfort and performance. Fans worldwide got an early look at the SKX_2 when Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane debuted the white and turquoise boots during the FIFA Club World Cup quarter finals in the United States.
Today, the SKX_2 officially drops across Europe as part of the new Skechers Football CTRL^ pack, which celebrates the comfort of a good first touch.

The SKX_2 Elite is meticulously engineered for players who demand precise strike control. Key features include:

Custom last for optimized comfort and a perfect fit, enhancing touch on the pitch.
-
Hyper Burst Pro sockliner for resilient cushioning.
-
Lightweight Skechers Fitknit upper for flexibility and support.
-

Harry Kane, who has been at the forefront of the SKX_2 campaign, shared his excitement:
“It’s the best feeling when you get that touch where everything comes together perfectly and you’re just in the zone with total control focused on the goal, and Skechers gets me there,” said Harry Kane. “The SKX_01 is a brilliant first boot for Skechers. With the SKX_2, you can feel the evolution, it’s quicker, sharper, and even better tuned for my game.”
