As football clubs gear up for the new season, elite players are making critical decisions both on and off the pitch. Two stars — Harry Kane and Isco Alarcón — have doubled down on their trust in Skechers, launching the brand’s new Pack CTRL^ football boots designed to give players full control over every aspect of their game.
Harry Kane Debuts SKX_2 at FIFA Club World Cup
Harry Kane, striker for Bayern Munich and captain of the England national team, debuted the Skechers SKX_2 Eliteboots during the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals in the United States. This new model focuses on precision ball control, featuring Hyper Burst Pro® cushioning, lightweight Skechers Fitknit upper, and a multi-directional outsolefor elite traction on various playing surfaces.
“The best feeling is when everything clicks perfectly in front of goal — and these SKX_2s take me there,” said Kane.
“The SKX_01 was a great first step, but the SKX_2 is a big evolution: it’s faster, sharper, and more tailored to my style of play.”
Isco Relies on Razor 1.5 to Drive Real Betis
Midfield maestro Isco Alarcón of Real Betis has opted for the Skechers Razor 1.5 Elite, a lightweight speed boot inspired by track performance. Designed to maximize acceleration and energy return, the boot features a carbon-infused soleplate, ideal for creative playmakers who rely on agility and sharp movement.
With the new season underway, Isco and Betis look to continue their strong run in La Liga and Europe, and these boots could be a key part of their success.
Pack CTRL^: High-Tech Innovation Meets Personality
The launch of the Pack CTRL^ comes with a HERO FILM featuring rising stars such as Mohammed Kudus, Niccolò Pisilli, and Barış Alper Yılmaz, along with a surprise cameo from Steve Bracknall, assistant manager at Royal Oak FC, turned locker-room legend.
Skechers Supports Future Generations of Talent
In addition to its Elite line for professionals, Skechers has released Academy editions designed for young players who are just starting their football journey. These boots are available for natural grass and firm ground surfaces.
“With the SKX_2, we listened to feedback from elite professionals and academy-level players alike,” said Greg Smith, VP of Product Development at Skechers Performance.
“We’ve kept what players loved about the original, but introduced engineering upgrades that deliver performance and extraordinary comfort when it matters most.”
