“This award should be called Persons of the Year as it
recognizes the hard work of the entire Skechers family around the
world who guide and inspire me every single day,” began Michael
Greenberg, president of Skechers. “Much has changed at Skechers
since 2000 when I was previously awarded this honor, so I have to
reflect on what we’ve accomplished over the last 23 years: at that
point we had only been a public company for about a year and now
Skechers is on the Fortune 500 list and the third largest footwear
company in the world; we had just introduced the Skechers Energy as
the pinnacle of our sport collection and now we have innovative
technical performance footwear—including recently announced global
football and basketball—outfitting top athletes around the world;
we had less than 100 Skechers retail stores and now have
approximately 5,000 locations worldwide; plus China and India were
emerging distributor regions and are now our largest markets
outside the United States. What has remained the same through the
years is the enthusiasm, dedication and drive of our organization.
This success and growth is a story of so many faces as nothing
great is achieved alone on an island. I thank the entire Skechers
organization, our loyal partners, and of course Footwear News.”
“Michael Greenberg has led Skechers to phenomenal new heights
this year while maintaining a personal touch and important
relationships across the industry,” said Michael Atmore, chief
brand officer of Fairchild Media and editorial director for
Footwear News. “His intuitive business sense is only matched by his
philanthropic nature in what has turned out to be an incredible
2023 for the company.”
The award will be presented at the 2023 FNAA ceremony on
November 29 in New York. Skechers has also been recognized by
Footwear News with 2009 Launch of the Year and 2013 Brand of the
Year awards for its products, and Skechers CEO Robert Greenberg
received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the publication in
2015.

such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute
to such differences include the disruption of business and
operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic; delays or disruptions in
our supply chain; international economic, political and market
conditions including the effects of inflation and foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations around the world, the challenging
consumer retail markets in the United States, and the impact of
wars, acts of war and other conflicts around the world; sustaining,
managing and forecasting costs and proper inventory levels; losing

these and other risk factors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic
into consideration, the dynamic nature of these circumstances means
that what is stated in this press release could change at any time,
and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those
contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The risks included
here are not exhaustive. Skechers operates in a very competitive
and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to
time and we cannot predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess
the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent
to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties,
you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements
as a prediction of actual results. Moreover, reported results
should not be considered an indication of future performance.
