“Football and life are played better when you feel comfortable
at every step,” said Isco. “I’m very excited to be part of the
Skechers family in this next chapter in my career.”
“Isco Alarcón is a great football player with a significant
track record at the national level. He’s returning from an injury
to his elite-level play, which is the perfect time to officially
bring him onto Team Skechers,” added Txerra Díaz, Country Manager
of Skechers Iberia. “We believe he fully aligns with the brand’s
profile and will help players across Spain and Portugal discover
Skechers Football and the signature Comfort That Performs offered
by our boots.”
Francisco Román Alarcón Suárez (Benalmádena, Málaga,
April 21, 1992) is a world-renowned attacking midfielder, thanks to
his outstanding performances in the Spanish League and various
international competitions. He has played for Valencia CF,
Málaga CF and Real Madrid, with whom he won five
UEFA Champions League titles, before joining Real Betis
Balompié. His exquisite technique, tactical intelligence and
ability to make a difference on the field have established him as
one of the great midfielders of his generation.
Alarcon adds his superstar power to the roster of talented
athletes currently competing in Skechers Football boots in Spain,
including Iker Losada from the Celta, Antonio Sánchez from Real
Mallorca, and Pere Milla from Espanyol, among others.
The Skechers Football range spans three Elite styles for men and
women including the new Electrum Pack. The Skechers Razor is
a lightweight speed boot with an explosive track-inspired design to
maximize acceleration and energy return. It features a
carbon-infused soleplate for responsive power and agility during
play. The SKX_01 is ideal for striking the ball with a
custom last meticulously crafted to optimize comfort and deliver a
perfect fit for enhancing touch on the field. Both boots are
available in standard low-profile with the SKX_01 also available in
a high-top version.
In addition to the Elite styles, Skechers also offers a line of
Academy boots perfect for all levels of play with maximized
performance and comfort, as well as Youth and Kids boots for the
next generation of players who want to emulate their favorite
stars, featuring an adaptable fit and enhanced comfort in every
pair. Both ranges are available in firm ground and turf styles.
Skechers Football launched at the start of the 2023/24 season
when the brand signed Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane as the first
pro to compete in the boot. Skechers has since expanded its roster
with several elite athletes including winger Baris Alper Yilmaz
from the Turkey National Team, West Ham United and Ghana National
Team winger Mohammed Kudus, Arsenal and Ukrainian National Team
defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, Nottingham Forest and Swedish
National Team forward Anthony Elanga, as well as additional men’s
and women’s professional athletes globally.
Beyond football, the Skechers team of elite athletes competing
in the brand’s performance footwear includes basketball stars Joel
Embiid, Julius Randle, Terance Mann, Josh Green, and Rickea
Jackson; golfers Matt Fitzpatrick and Brooke Henderson; pickleball
pros Tyson McGuffin and Catherine Parenteau; and Major League
Baseball players Clayton Kershaw and Aaron Nola, among others.
The Skechers Football collection is available at Skechers
websites, select Skechers retail stores, as well as specialty
football retailers worldwide such as Fútbol Emotion in Spain.
