“Skechers has been an exceptional partner on this journey,” said OG Anunoby, now a two-time NBA champion. “I feel like I’m part of the family after only a year together. They truly put care into building footwear that meets my needs. They know I often switch things up mid-game, so having a consistent flow of options helps keep me comfortable and confident on the court. Most meaningful was the ‘NYC Blue’ PE I wore during Game 4 that was a nod to the City, my team, and most importantly, the best fans anyone could ask for.”
“Skechers Basketball has been on the court for three seasons with a roster of players in the league – including superstar OG Anunoby,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “A force to be reckoned with in the regular season, through the playoffs, and especially that heroic Game 4 finisher and key fourth quarter points, OG has driven awareness and excitement for Skechers Basketball and our position in this sport. Delivering a game that continues to surprise, OG embodies the spirit of not only Skechers Performance but the entire philosophy of Skechers as The Comfort Technology Company. It’s too early to share specific details, but we do have a signature shoe in the works. Anyone, anywhere who wants to play like OG knows they need Comfort That Performs.”
