NORTH AMERICA- Skechers USA is bringing Moose Toys’ Shopkins property to a collection of footwear in a co-branded partnership.

The range of girls’ shoes, to be released under the Skechers Kids label, will hit shelves in time for back-to-school.

“We’re excited to expand our award-winning Skechers Kids line with styles featuring Shopkins characters, which are in demand by kids across the country,” says Michael Greenberg, president, Skechers. “Building on the success of our kids’ collection, we feel that adding Shopkins-branded shoes will be a perfect fit for the countless girls who already love wearing our playful, colorful and comfortable footwear.”

Skechers Kids is geared to children, ages toddler to tween, and will feature the co-brand, dubbed SPK by SKECHERS in Skechers retail stores and its website, Skechers.com.

Products in the line will be designed, developed and marketed through a multi-year licensing partnership between Skechers and Moose Toys.
