Skechers AERO Series Opens New Chapter of Technical Running Innovation
'Recently launched in North America and Asia, the AERO Series leverages innovative technologies to elevate our signature comfort that's now available to runners in Europe,' said Ben Stewart, Vice President, Skechers Technical Performance Division. 'An evolution of our legacy in running, Skechers AERO was developed with feedback from every type of runner from casual joggers to ultramarathoners. Based on the response from those who have experienced the difference of Skechers AERO, we expect runners everywhere will enjoy and appreciate the Comfort That Performs only offered by Skechers as they get those miles in.'
The Skechers AERO series for Spring 2025 includes three styles designed to meet the differing needs of runners. Each offers a fusion of innovations to elevate comfort, promote smooth transitions, and propel you forward through every stride.
Skechers AERO Burst™ —elevated cushioning, built to go the distance. Designed for long-distance running routines, this well-cushioned style combines premium comfort with performance technologies to help runners feel great mile after mile. It features Hyper Burst Ice™ dual-density midsole foam, a carbon-infused H-plate in the forefoot, and the updated Skechers Arch Fit® support system. The breathable engineered mesh upper and anchored tongue design maximizes comfort through high-mileage training sessions.
Skechers AERO Spark™ —well-balanced everyday trainer. Built for logging miles with great cushioning underfoot, this go-to trainer can also pick up the pace. It features a dual-density Hyper Burst Ice™ midsole for plush cushioning and support, an all-new Skechers Arch Fit® insole design that is adapted specifically for runners with a more subtle feel, plus the carbon-infused H-plate for a snappy toe-off while also providing the right amount of torsional rigidity. The breathable engineered mesh upper with lace locks ensures a secure fit on every run.
Skechers AERO Tempo™ —the launchpad for speed. This high-performance speed day shoe offers a dynamic cushioned design packed with innovation for when you want to pick up the pace. Optimized to deliver a lightweight, yet stable running experience, the energetic design features a breathable woven TPU upper, a Hyper Burst® blend in the midsole, plus an internal full-length carbon-infused H-plate that provides the perfect ratio of rigidity and stiffness. Unique to this style in the range, the Hyper Burst Pro™ sockliner offers underfoot cushioning and responsiveness.
Key signature innovations featured across the range include Skechers Hyper Arc™ technology that adapts to your stride for a more efficient run, plus Goodyear® Performance Outsoles for enhanced traction, stability and durability.
Skechers AERO Series footwear is available now at Skechers retail stores and skechers.com, as well as specialty athletic shops. Additional Skechers AERO Burst and Skechers AERO Spark versions featuring Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology will be available in Europe in August.
