Debuted by WNBA star Rickea Jackson, the shoe features Skechers Move Foam, a TPU Versa Wing for stability, and Goodyear rubber traction. It's available online, in select Skechers stores, and via global retailers.
'Skechers has the comfort and performance down, but I really love this shoe because it's tuned to my style of play—fast, fluid, and explosive,' said Rickea Jackson . 'And off the court they look good too, so you feel confident as soon as you lace up. So many players will appreciate that you just transform into a pressure machine with the SKX Full-Court Press. It's amazing.'
The low-top SKX Full-Court Press is a fusion of style and function with an eye-catching wraparound TPU Versa Wing in the midsole that offers supreme stability when making hard cuts to create space. The outsole features grippy Goodyear rubber in a herringbone pattern for multi-directional traction ready for pace changes and action at both ends of the court. Resilient and ultra-lightweight Skechers Move Foam delivers long-lasting comfort to keep players feeling good through four intense quarters.
The new SKX Full-Court Press style and the full Skechers Basketball collection is available at Skechers website, select Skechers stores, as well as specialty retailers around the world.
