MIAMI – Skechers is opening its largest factory mall store in the world, what they call an “immersive performance experience” at Dolphin Mall. The opening follows stores in Canada, Europe and Chile. The 26,017-square-foot location in Miami offers consumers footwear, apparel and accessories for basketball, running, soccer, golf, pickleball and the outdoors, as well as Florida favorites like Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins.
“The Skechers Performance retail era is in full force: from our first flagship store earlier this year in Canada to two new locations in Europe this spring and our recently opened destination in Chile, all have shown how enthusiastic our consumers are for our Comfort that Performs,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers, in a Business Wire release.
Minnesota Timberwolves power forward and Skechers athlete Julius Randle joined shoppers in celebrating the August 29 grand opening of the store, which unveiled a running racetrack, basketball and pickleball courts, golf green and soccer and sport adventure areas, all surrounded by state-of-the-art digital LED screens and supported by product specialists and educators. The store also features selfie areas localized with Miami-centric graphics.
Along with Randle, Skechers’ global roster of pros includes basketball stars Joel Embiid, OG Anunoby, Norman Powell, Terance Mann, Rickea Jackson, Jackie Young and Kiki Iriafen; golfers Matt Fitzpatrick, Brooke Henderson, Bernhard Langer and Max Greyserman; pickleball pros Tyson McGuffin and Catherine Parenteau; baseball players Clayton Kershaw and Aaron Nola; soccer players Harry Kane, Mohammed Kudus, Luis Sinisterra, Barış Alper Yılmaz, Matt O’Riley, Isco Alarcón, Anthony Elanga, and Leila Ouahabi; and Indian Premier League cricket stars Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan and Yastika Bhatia, among others.
