Rickea Jackson Becomes First WNBA Player to Debut Skechers Basketball Shoe

News summary

Rickea Jackson, Los Angeles Sparks forward and the first WNBA player signed by Skechers, is the face of the brand's new basketball sneaker, the SKX Full-Court Press, launched at the start of the 2025 WNBA season. The shoe is designed for speed, stability, and comfort, featuring a wraparound TPU Versa Wing midsole for stability, a Goodyear rubber outsole with a herringbone pattern for traction, and ultra-lightweight Move Foam cushioning. Jackson highlights the shoe's ability to support her fast, fluid, and explosive playing style, while also praising its off-court style and confidence boost. Available in two initial colorways—white/blue and bold pink—the sneaker will also have a player edition inspired by Jackson's nickname, "Beauty and the Beast," featuring a black design with rose accents. Skechers positions the SKX Full-Court Press as a performance basketball shoe that helps players maintain speed and control under pressure, with Jackson starring prominently in marketing campaigns. This launch expands Skechers' presence in basketball footwear, complementing their roster that includes NBA stars Julius Randle and Joel Embiid.
