MANILA, Philippines - Two major running magazines recently cited Skechers’ pioneering GOrun model for its performance, underscoring the brand’s reputation as the global leader in footwear industry.
The 2012 Spring Shoe Review in the April issue of Competitor named SkechersGOrun as the editor’s pick for the most Innovative new running shoe while the May/June issue of Women’s Running also handed SkechersGOrun the most innovative award.
“After investing three years of research and development into SkechersGOrun, we’re honored that the running community is recognizing the design of our first performance shoe as pioneering in this technical and elite world,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers.
SkechersGOrun is the official shoe of America’s top marathon runner Meb Keflezighi, who set new personal records as the first American to cross the finish line in the 2011 New York Marathon.
Keflezighi, who also won the 2012 Houston trials, will be wearing SkechersGOrun footwear again when he competes in the upcoming Olympic Games in London.
Meanwhile, Skechers will be launching the SkechersGOrun Ride, a running line with enhanced cushioning, SkechersGOtrain, a workout shoe built for added stability and control, and SkechersGObionic, a zero-drop ultra-minimal running shoe.
Designed by the Company’s Advanced Concepts Team with consultation by elite runners like Keflezighi, SkechersGOrun promotes a mid-foot strike and features GOimpulse sensors for a flexible and responsive running experience.
SkechersGOrun is available at TriNoma Mall, Glorietta 5, Market! Market!, Robinsons Galleria, Robinsons Place Manila, SM Fairview, Festival Mall, Marquee Mall Pampanga, Abreeza Mall Davao and Gaisano Mall of Davao.
