Can a sneaker be more than just a sneaker? For Skechers, the answer has always been yes. Since the 1990s, the American brand has been reshaping footwear by blending comfort and performance with street-ready style. Over the years, it has evolved into a full lifestyle label, offering apparel and accessories that cater to modern wardrobes.
Collaborations are part of the brand’s DNA—think Snoop Dogg, Diane von Furstenberg, and most recently MSYD at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2025—proving that Skechers stays in step with the current generation. That same pulse drives the Skechers Hotshots collection, the latest lifestyle line where innovative design meets unmistakable attitude.
The Skechers Hotshots range delivers a modern classic for everyday wear with two standout styles: Claspe and Kickoff. Retro-inspired silhouettes arrive in five fresh colourways, while Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles cushion every step for all-day comfort. With premium duraleather and suede overlays, these court-style sneakers nod to the past while being reimagined for today’s fits.
On the streets, the Skechers Hotshots collection comes alive through three stars of the local entertainment industry—Sophia Liana, Bunga, and Zhen Ning. Together, they channel charisma and energy, proving Skechers Hotshots is made for those who move, create and inspire with confidence.
Sophia Liana needs no introduction. As one-third of De Fam, she’s delivered a decade of chart-toppers, fierce verses, and show-stopping moves that keep audiences coming back for more. Her latest release, Sus, shows how she keeps sharpening her artistry, blending confidence with creativity in every beat.
Off-stage, her style hits just as hard—effortlessly shifting from bold prints to sleek chic. “I like my looks comfy, but I love a little fun and spice,” she laughs, carrying that same energy into everything she wears.
A sneakerhead since her teens, Sophia believes shoes say a lot about who you are. The Skechers Hotshots quickly earned a spot in her collection. “One word? Demure! And I’d rock them anywhere—from rehearsals to studio grind.” If the sneakers had a mood, she adds, it would be happy-go-lucky—just like her.
At the same time, Bunga is carving her own space in a male-dominated rap scene. From battling in cyphers and sharing freestyles online to signing with a major label and dropping her debut album Seharum Nama, her journey has been inspiring to watch. The record not only reflects her musical range but also highlights her versatility—a quality mirrored in her personal style.
“While I love streetwear, I also enjoy dressing elegantly and embracing traditional styles,” she says. Drawing inspiration from Doja Cat, Bunga isn’t afraid to experiment while staying true to her modest aesthetic.
For her, the Skechers Hotshots collection slots easily into her rotation. “I would definitely wear them while travelling—they make long walks a breeze,” she adds. When asked how she’d style them, she goes for a laid-back yet stylish combo: an oversized tee with a denim skirt.
Far from just another newcomer, Zhen Ning is a rising talent whose presence is impossible to ignore. From his role in Anak Anak Mafia to taking the lead in Rentak Dua Hati, he’s shown how passion and perseverance are essential to thriving in a competitive industry.
But before the cameras, Zhen Ning was already making a name in fashion. With his lean frame, sharp features and cool sense of style, he naturally commands presence. “I’m not afraid to try feminine pieces, mix textures, or experiment with unexpected combinations,” he says.
That fearless approach extends to his footwear. When he tried the Skechers Hotshots, he knew they struck the perfect balance between comfort and street style. “If I had to pick one, it’d be the black-and-white pair—they work with any outfit,” he says. Styled with a detailed T-shirt and baggy jeans, the sneakers bring an edge to his off-duty look, proof that confidence is his best accessory.
