Global football star Harry Kane has signed a long-term partnership deal with Skechers and unveiled his new SKX_01 football boots, confirming the earlier rumors.
This move comes just days after Harry Kane joined FC Bayern Munich as the club's new record signing, showcasing a trifecta of career changes.
Kane wore a masked version of the boots during preseason and in his Munich debut. He will debut the blue colorway, unveiled today, in tomorrow's Bundesliga opening match at Werder Bremen.

The Skechers SKX_01 football boot is a culmination of insights from professional players seeking ball control.
Its custom-designed last, intricately fashioned for ideal fit and comfort, guarantees enhanced control and field touch, embodying the essence of modern football footwear - according to the official press release.
“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,” said Harry Kane. “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. [...] I wouldn’t back a brand or gear if I didn’t 100% believe in it. This is the real deal.”
“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,” added Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “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.”
Harry Kane will be the face of Skechers' first-ever top-tier football boots launching in September. Other players are expected to sign with the brand as well, but haven't been announced yet.
