Skechers’ Response
In response to the accusations and boycott campaigns, Skechers issued a statement denying any pro-Israel stance or involvement in the Palestinian occupation. They emphasized being a global, neutral company focused solely on providing high-quality products and services worldwide.
Skechers clarified its joint venture with MGS Sport Trading as a common practice for multinational companies to enter new markets. They affirmed that this collaboration doesn’t imply support or affiliation with the Israeli government or politics.
Additionally, Skechers asserted that the Skechers Foundation operates independently and isn’t associated with Skechers itself. It works across various religious organizations to fulfill its mission of aiding underprivileged children.
Skechers appreciated the support from customers in Indonesia and Malaysia, hoping they won’t be influenced by baseless issues and promising continued commitment to providing the best products and services in both countries.
