Skechers AERO series represents latest evolution of technical running shoes
Skechers Performance opens a new chapter of running innovation with the arrival of the Skechers AERO series. Named for the aerodynamic feel of the design, Skechers AERO represents the latest evolution of technical running shoes from the brand. The collection is engineered to deliver an exhilarating blend of speed, style and comfort to help runners cut through the wind and push beyond their personal bests while logging miles. 'Rooted in our award-winning performance legacy, the Skechers AERO series fuses our signature comfort with innovative technologies and a new aesthetic that elevates Skechers running,' said Greg Smith, VP of Product Development and Merchandising for Skechers Performance. 'We've fine-tuned every detail of each Skechers AERO design with feedback from top-tier runners through thousands of wear-test miles—from the four-minute milers looking for that quick speed to the ultramarathoners who are pushing the limits on distance. We believe that runners at all levels will love the feel of the Skechers AERO series, and our signature Comfort That Performs will deliver for competitive racers, casual joggers, and everyone in between.' The Skechers AERO series for Spring 2025 includes three styles designed to meet the differing needs of runners. Each offers a fusion of innovations to elevate comfort, promote smooth transitions, and propel you forward through every stride. Skechers AERO Burst™—elevated cushioning, built to go the distance. Designed for long- distance running routines, this well-cushioned style combines premium comfort with performance technologies to help runners feel great mile after mile. It features Hyper Burst Ice™ dual-density midsole foam, a carbon-infused H-plate in the forefoot, and the updated Skechers Arch Fit® support system. The breathable engineered mesh upper and anchored tongue design maximizes comfort through high- mileage training sessions. Skechers AERO Spark™—well-balanced everyday trainer. Built for logging miles with great cushioning underfoot, this go-to trainer can also pick up the pace. It features a dual-density Hyper Burst Ice™ midsole for plush cushioning and support, an all-new Skechers Arch Fit® insole design that is adapted specifically for runners with a more subtle feel, plus the carbon-infused H-plate for a snappy toe-off while also providing the right amount of torsional rigidity. The breathable engineered mesh upper with lace locks ensures a secure fit on every run. Skechers AERO Tempo™—the launchpad for speed. This high-performance speed day shoe offers a dynamic cushioned design packed with innovation for when you want to pick up the pace. Optimized to deliver a lightweight, yet stable running experience, the energetic design features a breathable woven TPU upper, a Hyper Burst® blend in the midsole, plus an internal full-length carbon-infused H-plate that provides the perfect ratio of rigidity and stiffness. Unique to this style in the range, the Hyper Burst Pro™ sockliner offers underfoot cushioning and responsiveness. Key signature innovations featured across the range include Skechers Hyper Arc™ technology that adapts to your stride for a more efficient run, plus Goodyear® Performance Outsoles for enhanced traction, stability and durability. In coordination with the product launch, Skechers will also be sponsoring running events around the globe with activations for runners to discover and experience the Skechers AERO series. From elite competitions to grassroots races, the brand will be present to help celebrate the spirit of running, engage directly with the running community, and make a positive impact while building awareness for the new range of technical running shoes.
