SKECHERS Wins Campaign of The Year at The Drapers Footwear Awards

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SKECHERS USA, Inc. (NYSE:SKX) today announced that the Company won the
Campaign of The Year Award at the Drapers Footwear Awards for its Spring
2016 Kelly Brook Skechers Memory Foam campaign. This achievement follows
a year when SKECHERS has won multiple top industry awards in the United
Kingdom, including Footwear Brand of the Year and Ladies Brand of the
Year at the Footwear Industry Awards in February 2016.

“We have loved sharing Kelly’s amazing campaign and her obvious passion
for the brand with consumers, and are incredibly honored to receive
Drapers’ recognition,” said Peter Youell, managing director of SKECHERS
UK Ltd. “These awards are a testament to the strength of the SKECHERS
brand in the UK and Ireland, and the ongoing support from our retail
partners who reaffirm and elevate SKECHERS as a desired brand in
lifestyle and fashion footwear.”

Added SKECHERS chief operating officer and chief financial officer David
Weinberg: “Since SKECHERS’ start, our core philosophy has been ‘unseen,
untold unsold’ – and we’ve had great success growing our brand worldwide
with campaigns that pair compelling product with amazing celebrity
ambassadors and aggressively advertising through TV, print, stores and
social media. We believe this strategy has helped SKECHERS achieve one
of our largest year-over-year dollar gains in the UK, and we look
forward to launching many more campaigns for men, women and kids as we
expand our reach to more consumers.”

The Drapers Footwear Awards recognize and celebrate outstanding
performance, innovation and creativity among retailers, brands and
individuals in this fast-paced sector, and SKECHERS won over a strong
competitive field that included Jimmy Choo, Sophia Webster, Love Brands
and Butterfly Twist.

The prestigious annual awards event was held on Thursday, July 1st at
the London Hilton in Park Lane, supported by the British Footwear
Association (BFA) and charity partner Footwear Friends.

which offers comfort-focused trend-right product for men, women and kids

philanthropic line BOBS from SKECHERS, and the Skechers Performance
