Repositioning the visual identity of NYC.

Skechers is the world's 3rd largest sports brand, right after Nike and Adidas. With a focus on utility and with their primary audience being the older generation, their emphasis on brand aesthetics and a strong visual identity is lacking.


Leading to an inability to participate in mainstream sneaker culture, which is widely evident through their lack of presence on reselling websites like Stockx GOAT and websites that cover culture, like Complex and Hypebeast.


Their lack of connection with the young adult audience is a problem as the Gen Z is the future of the … and participating in youthful culture would be widely benefecial to skechers. can skechers penetrate through to a teenage audience?

Problems to Be Solved
