Skechers has added star bowler Jasprit Bumrah to its growing roster of cricket athletes. The India and Mumbai Indians paceman will compete in Skechers Cricket footwear and feature in marketing campaigns for both performance and lifestyle collections.
Bumrah joins fellow cricketers Ishan Kishan and Yastika Bhatia, who have been wearing Skechers footwear for the past year. This signing further strengthens Skechers’ cricket presence, complementing its position as the official kit sponsor of Mumbai Indians.
“I joined the Skechers family as they are known for blending comfort with cutting-edge innovation,” said Bumrah. “Their wide range of offerings make it a perfect fit for athletes who value performance without compromising on style, especially for bowlers like me.”
Rahul Vira, CEO of Skechers South Asia, emphasized that “Bumrah’s relentless pursuit of excellence perfectly aligns with Skechers’ commitment to innovation and performance,” adding that their cricket athletes demonstrate how the “signature Comfort That Performs of Skechers Cricket footwear can help anyone’s game.”
The Skechers Cricket collection includes the Elite model with 11 metal spikes for maximum traction and the Blade model with seven spikes for enhanced agility.
