Throughout this basketball season, no brand has been a more disruptive force in the sneaker industry than Skechers. After signing New York Knicks forward Julius Randle and Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann to sneaker deals at the start of the NBA season, Skechers quickly rolled out two high-quality performance models.
Hoopers and footwear experts have been impressed by the Skechers SKX Resagrip and SKX FLOAT. Now, the Los Angeles-based company is launching both models in new low-profile designs, as well as the new colorways of the original mid-top versions. Below are pictures, tech specs, and release information for the game-changing basketball shoes.

The perfect hybrid of form and function, the SKX Resagrip is designed for players who move at top speed with next-level cushioning and responsiveness to accommodate quick and explosive movements. It also features Goodyear® Resagrip Technology with a unique outsole configuration so you can play hard and focus on your game.
These court-ready basketball shoes also offer exceptional stability and support with enhanced collar foam for ankle control and Skechers Hyper Burst Pro™ sock liner for increased cushioning and response. The mid-top design also incorporates Skechers Hyper Burst® cushioning in the midsole – a resilient foam created utilizing a ‘Super Critical®’ process for an ultra-lightweight experience. While the SKX Resagrip is all about comfort and performance on the court, these basketball shoes do not compromise on style.
Online shoppers can choose between multiple styles of the SKX Resagrip (including two new colorways) and the SKX Resagrip Low for $140-$150 in adult sizes on the Skechers website.
