Skechers Performance becomes the title sponsor of the Los Angeles Marathon
Another big move by Skechers (SKX) that cements their commitment to the performance division.
“Partnering with the Los Angeles Marathon is a strategic step forward for our company and the Performance Division,” said Michael Greenberg, president of SKECHERS. “As a Los Angeles-based business, we have always wanted to be a part of this iconic race since we began developing our performance footwear division and we could not be more thrilled to join the Los Angeles Marathon as title sponsor.”
Congratulations to our friends at Skechers Performance, THIS IS HUGE.
