Skechers Football Boots — Does Harry Kane Really Wear Them? (SKX 2)

Does Harry Kane really wear Skechers football boots?

Yes — and it is not a marketing gimmick. Harry Kane walked away from Nike in 2023 to become the face of Skechers Football, and he has worn the brand’s SKX boots (US: soccer cleats) in competitive matches ever since. Kane is Skechers’ only true global-superstar signing, England’s captain, and Bayern Munich’s first-choice striker. Shop Skechers boots at 433FC.

What Skechers boots does Harry Kane wear — the SKX and SKX 2?

Kane wears the Skechers SKX_2, the current version of the control-and-touch silo that launched as the SKX_01 for the 2023–24 season, followed by the SKX_1.5. The SKX_2 arrived in July 2025 with a Hyper Burst Pro sockliner, a lightweight Skechers Fitknit upper and a multi-directional outsole tuned for a clean first touch on the ball.

Did Kane wear Skechers at the 2026 World Cup?

Yes. As of ~14 July 2026, reported, Kane opened the tournament in SKX_2 boots from the “Sunset Pack,” then broke England’s all-time World Cup scoring record — his reported 11th career World Cup goal, passing Gary Lineker — during the knockout rounds. Skechers marked it with a 26-pair, individually numbered “World Cup Record” SKX_2 in England white and red, released via a Pro:Direct raffle.

Are Skechers football boots actually any good?

Reviewers have been surprised by how good they are. The SKX line is widely rated as comfortable straight out of the box, light on the foot, and unusually roomy for players with wide feet — a credible, lower-cost elite alternative to the Nike boots Kane used to wear. For touch-first players it competes with the leather-feel control silos across the market.

How does the Skechers SKX compare to Nike, adidas, Puma and New Balance?
