An astonishing 73 goals in 65 games during the ’25-’26 season led to Harry Kane being awarded the Ballon d’Or this week, and Skechers is celebrating the achievement by releasing special-edition gold boots in a production run matched to his scoring output.

The Skechers SKX_2 “Mark of Greatness” carries tasteful gold detailing and Kane’s signature in place of the usual model branding at the lateral heel. A white knit upper gives the appearance of having little gold flecks scattered throughout, while the “S” logo and studs are rendered in bolder metallic form. Each pair will also come with a commemorative book highlighting moments from Kane’s historic season including a domestic treble with Bayern Munich.

Exclusively for the English striker, has made a one-of-a-kind version of the boot featuring real 24-carat gold leaf that will be worn by Kane for Bayern Munich’s Sunday match against Borussia Dortmund. The brand also commissioned on his behalf a gold signet ring from Deakin & Francis, en English family jeweler operating since 1786, featuring a lion emblem on its face and the digits of “73” split between its shoulders.

“Winning the Ballon d’Or after such a memorable year of goals, trophies and special milestones was an incredible honor, and to receive this award in my hometown made it even more special. The Ballon d’Or belongs just as much to my teammates and staff at Bayern and England, my family and friends, and all the fans around the world,” Kane said in a press release. “Having Skechers design a bespoke boot to mark this achievement makes it even more special. I’m looking forward to wearing them on the pitch.”

Kane’s goal total encompasses his output for Bayern Munich and England, the latter of which he helped lead to the World Cup semi-final and victory in the third place match. He’s the first English man to win the Ballon d’Or, presented by the magazine France Football and based on votes from journalists, since Michael Owen in 2001.

“For Skechers, this is more than celebrating an award; it’s recognizing everything about Harry that made this possible: consistency, excellence, leadership, influence and the ability to deliver when it matters most,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “Harry’s win is the latest illustration that Skechers offers the comfort and performance that elite athletes require at the absolute peak of their game. When the world’s greatest wears Skechers, it’s all the evidence athletes at any level need to know that our footwear will deliver wherever and however they play.”

This latest accomplishment adds to an already strong year for Skechers athletes, as OG Anunoby was crucial to the New York Knicks’ championship and made the game-winning shot to cap off a historic comeback in game 4 of the NBA Finals.

That game fortuitously marked the debut of his SKX Nexus “NYC Blue,” which later went on to be a historic drop for Skechers when it later made the shoe available for pre-order. Immediately after the Finals, the brand also announced Anunoby will receive his own signature sneaker.

Skechers entered both the soccer and basketball markets in 2023, with the announcement of the former coinciding with news of Kane’s endorsement deal.
