Freshening up the ranks for the autumn and winter months, Skechers have dropped the ‘Ignite Pack’, splashing the SKX_01 and Razor in co-ordinated black and purple paint jobs.
Whilst some brands will go down the brighter and more vibrant looks for the darker months, Skechers have opted to go down the opposite route, with some suitably darker visages for the SKX_01 and Razor. They pair up under the ‘Ignite Pack’, which sees them both in “Purple/Black” colourways, split in the same execution, with the forefoot in purple and the heel section in black. It once again sees the boots looking quite similar and hard to distinguish at a glance, but the lighting graphic across the forefoot of the SKX_01 is enough t o make it stand out against the block colouring of the Razor.
Tech-wise, the SKX_01 offers a seamless fusion of high-quality knit and skin materials in the upper; the knit adapts to the foot's shape, offering a personalised fit and excellent breathability, while the strategically placed skin panels add durability and protection where it's needed most. But what’s most noticeable is the unique combination of micro and macro textures that are positioned on the upper, strategically placed to optimise ball control and touch; the micro-textured zones provide a delicate grip for precise dribbling and passing, while the macro-textured areas offer extra grip and power for shooting and striking the ball.
It’s a stark contrast to the smoothness of the Razor’s upper, which is constructed from FitKnit: a combination of knitted back quarter, which offers dynamic support and breathability, and a premium leather-like synthetic in the forefoot, to provide exceptional feel on the ball. That tech is accentuated through the block purple colouring as opposed to the lightning effect across the SKX_01.
