Share this article:

It’s time to unleash your inner champion with Skechers’ first basketball collection in Malaysia. No, seriously. They’ve finally entered the world of basketball shoes, and the game will never be the same again! 👀

A game-changing collection! In the world of basketball, it’s not just about how fast you run or how high you jump – it’s about stability, comfort, and style. And let’s face it, we all want to look good while dropping buckets, right? That’s where Skechers’ new Basketball® collection comes in.

Dropped yesterday, 20 September 2024, Skechers Malaysia has released not one, but FOUR shoe ranges under their new collection. We’re talking about the SKX League High™, SKX Nexus™, SKX Resagrip™, and coming soon, the SKX Reign™. Each one of these pairs is designed for ballers of all levels, whether you’re schooling your friends in the park or playing on a professional stage.

Why These Kicks Will Change Your Game

Each range has been meticulously engineered, incorporating cutting-edge tech that we’ve come to expect from Skechers. Let’s break it down:

Dynamic Cushioning: Say goodbye to sore feet after a game. With high-performance systems like HYPER BURST® and 5-GEN® Foam, your feet will feel like they’re walking on clouds while still getting that extra oomph when you jump for the net.
Breathable Design: Whether you’re sweating it out in a full-court press or practicing free throws under the sun, these shoes ensure you won’t feel like your feet are trapped in an oven.

But what sets each model apart?

SKX League High™ (RM399) – For the ankle support squad. These high-tops come with Skechers’ Resilient Move Foam™ insole, making sure your joints stay protected during those sharp cuts and landings.
SKX Nexus™ (RM359) – The speed demons’ go-to. Built for agility with a lightweight mesh upper and Goodyear® rubber traction, you’ll be moving faster than your defender can say “defensive rebound.”
SKX Resagrip™ (RM499) – Premier comfort meets explosive performance. Low-cut for maximum speed with HYPER BURST PRO™ cushioning and arch support that’s even podiatrist-certified. Yup, your ankles are in good hands (or feet, we guess).
SKX Reign™ (RM599) – Coming soon! For those who dominate the court, this pair combines Goodyear® rubber traction with a sleek mid-top design. You’ll look good dunking on everyone, no doubt. 🔥

Skechers x Malacca Basketball Club (MBC): The Perfect Match!

To celebrate the launch of this baller collection, Skechers has teamed up with the Malacca Basketball Club (MBC) as their Official Footwear Sponsor. This is HUGE! MBC has quickly become one of Malaysia’s top basketball clubs, winning the National U-23 and U-20 Development Leagues in back-to-back years. With former National Player Guganeswaran Batumalai coaching them, this partnership is a major flex for Skechers Malaysia. 🔥🏀

Games, Performances and Matches

Oh, and if you thought Skechers was just going to drop some shoes and leave, think again. Yesterday, they kicked off their first-ever Skechers Basketball 3X3 Tournament at 1 Utama Shopping Centre with an invitational match featuring MBC and Taylor’s Basketball team. It’s not over yet either – the tournament will be running until 22 September, with local hoopers aged 15 to 18 competing for some insane prizes. Wanna know what’s up for grabs? Try Skechers Basketball® shoes and vouchers worth up to RM1,600!

The fun doesn’t stop there. There was an amazing performance by Team Malaysia Cheerleading that had insane flips and twirls. Talk about air-time. You can also score some RM50 Vouchers for Skechers by partaking in their mini games such as their 30-second Shoot & Win and a 3-point Shoot Challenge. And if you’re not feeling super sporty but still wanna cop some vouchers, you can post on social media and claim your voucher too!
