Skechers Sells Out of Limited-Edition Gold Boot Honoring Harry Kane’s 36 Goals

Adidas Is Rereleasing One of the Most Iconic Football Boots It's Ever Made

Skechers is celebrating English soccer player Harry Kane’s 36th Bundesliga goal with a gold version of its SKX_01 boot. The new limited-edition colorway is inspired by Kane earning his first European Golden Shoe, a seasonal award honoring the top goal scorer in league matches across the highest divisions in Europe.

Creating only 36 gold boots — each one separately numbered to represent Kane’s goals for FC Bayern Munich — Skechers sold out of the commemorative shoe in a matter of days after its Aug. 28 launch. Kane received his own pair in a custom gold case.

Kane is set to wear the special shoe in a game against Finland today, Sept. 10, which will mark his 100th cap (referring to the number of times he’s represented his country in international games). Kane is only the tenth English player to reach this milestone, and the Football Association planned a pre-match ceremony, including a golden cap presentation for the striker.

Skechers ventured into the realm of professional soccer boots relatively recently, having signed a lifetime global deal with Kane last year. The SKX_01 hit the market about a year ago in September.

The brand describes the design of the shoe and what makes it stand out: “At the core of the boot lies an internal chassis crafted from lightweight yet robust materials that not only enhances support and stability, but also makes the boot incredibly lightweight and provides unparalleled strength and responsiveness.”

The description continues, “A dynamic stud pattern also offers enhanced traction for multi-directional movements. A staple in Skechers performance footwear, the SKX_01 also features Skechers Hyperburst Pro, which is a highly responsive, ultra-lightweight, long-lasting, and resilient TPU cushioning that mold to the shape of your foot providing a custom fit.”

The shoe is offered in a low-top and high-top iteration, with the latter offering additional ankle support. Offered in two colorways, the low-top retails for $90 while the high-top is priced at $225.

Additional soccer stars who have signed with Skechers include Mohammed Kudus , Oleksandr Zinchenko, Anthony Elanga and Ruud Gullit , who was recently announced as a new ambassador.
