Skechers Signs WNBA Star Forward Rickea Jackson to Elite Athlete Team

Skechers expanded its all-star athlete roster, signing LA Sparks forward Rickea Jackson, the WNBA’s first-round draft pick.

“So we can give each player the attention they deserve, our roster of professional basketball athletes is tight and focused with veterans like 2022/23 MVP Joel Embiid and three-time NBA All-Star Julius Randle, as well as rising stars with exceptional talent like LA Clippers shooting guard Terance Mann,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “We’ve been looking for the right WNBA player to add to Team Skechers, and we found her in Rickea Jackson.

“Rickea’s a sensational athlete and an inspiration—and she deserves the best footwear that meets her needs. League rules mean fans won’t see her competing in Skechers now, but we’re already gaining her insights as we continue to deliver the most comfortable and innovative footwear on the court for all athletes,” concluded Greenberg.

Designed for players like Jackson and Mann who want a shoe with a fast and responsive court feel, the SKX Nexus is a low-top court shoe designed for speed, stability and support with Skechers Move Foam. A breathable mesh upper, lockdown ankle support in the heel and Goodyear rubber with a torsion plate to amplify traction for quick cuts on the court enhance the shoe’s construction.
