Chennai - Skechers, the global sports and lifestyle brand based in California, is launching a new campaign featuring Gully Boy actor Siddhant Chaturvedi, who will be the first Indian brand ambassador for Skechers and will represent the both lifestyle and performance collections. The “Go Like Never Before” campaign featuring Chaturvedi will be exclusive to the India market and emphasizes the importance of running as a sport to remain fit and encourages people to stay active in their day-to-day routine.

The campaign video features newly launched performance footwear styles from the Skechers GO RUN series including Skechers GO RUN 7+™, Skechers GO RUN Razor 3™ and Skechers GO RUN Speed Elite™ shoes built with HYPER BURST® cushioning—which is made using a “super critical” foaming process to create spherically shaped cells in tight format. It is the lightest and most resilient midsole foam that Skechers Performance has offered to date and delivers a highly responsive and comfortable running experience. 

David Weinberg, chief operating officer of Skechers, said: “We transitioned our business in India to a wholly-owned subsidiary in early 2019 because we believe in this market and see the incredible growth potential delivering our comfortable, innovative and stylish lifestyle and performance products to the 1.3 billion consumers here. That is why we’re investing in this campaign and partnering with an influential star like Siddhant Chaturvedi.”

Speaking about the launch and on Siddhant Chaturvedi, Mr. Rahul Vira, CEO, Skechers South Asia Pt. Ltd. said, “We are thrilled to launch the “Go Like Never Before” campaign starring Siddhant Chaturvedi. Our sole aim through this campaign is to reach out to maximum people and promote running as a fitness culture in India.

Making this campaign special, we are delighted to announce Siddhant Chaturvedi as the first brand ambassador of Skechers India. His drive for fitness resonates perfectly with the brand and with this we aim to encourage more and more people to stay healthy and GO run.”

I feel honoured and take immense pride to be the first ever brand ambassador of Skechers India, and to launch the campaign in Skechers Performance. I love that the brand is taking a step ahead to educate people about the importance of fitness and motivating them to stay fit whether in the field of sports or beyond. Achieving fitness goals means wearing proper footwear that elevates your performance. I have always loved comfort over style statement, but with Skechers you get the best of both worlds—you get it all.”
