SKECHERS Opens Flagship Retail Store at One World Trade Center

Footwear Company Joins the Debut of New York City’s Highly
Anticipated Shopping Destination

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SKECHERS
USA, Inc.
(NYSE:SKX), a global leader in the lifestyle and
performance footwear industry, today announced that the Company has
opened a flagship store at the heart of the World Trade Center’s new
shopping district. The SKECHERS store is an integral part of the launch
of the new half-a-million square foot center – Manhattan’s latest
world-class mecca for dining, stores and entertainment. Located along
the main level of the West Concourse near the WTC Transportation Hub,
the store will be home to more than 350,000 daily visitors in the area
and a key tourist destination.


“The new shopping district at One World Trade Center is the place to be
– gorgeous, massive and spectacular, it’s one of the biggest retail
openings in the United States this decade,” said Michael Greenberg,
president of SKECHERS. “The center’s new stores read like a who’s who
list of iconic global brands – and we’re thrilled to take part in this
huge retail phenomenon. Consumer interest is already tremendous, the
foot traffic will be massive, and we can’t wait to welcome the swarms of
locals and tourists who will be walking this center every day.”

Complete with black granite-tiled floors, large-scale graphics,
state-of-the-art audio/video presentations and LED-lit shelves, fixtures
and storefront displays, the modern SKECHERS store will showcase the
brand’s lifestyle offering for men and women, a Skechers Performance
section complete with shoes and apparel, and a product-filled SKECHERS
Kids Fun Zone for children. Consumers will also be able to purchase
product store-wide with SKECHERS’ mobile pay option.

“We continue to grow our retail footprint on every level – in
high-traffic cities, across the United States and around the world,”
added Greenberg. “Whether we’re expanding our New York presence with our
first-ever SKECHERS store in lower Manhattan, or are launching SKECHERS
destinations in far-reaching countries around the world, our retail
network is stronger than ever. By year end, we anticipate having more
than 1,600 SKECHERS stores.”

SKECHERS’ retail network includes two locations in Times Square and
additional New York destinations at Union Square, 5th Avenue and 34th
Street; Las Vegas’ Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian; San Francisco’s
Powell Street; and hundreds of prime tourist, high-traffic destinations
