Product specialists and educators assist customers, and the store also includes selfie areas with Miami-themed graphics.

Shoppers can buy specialised technical footwear and key lifestyle products, including work footwear and Skechers apparel and accessories.

The store highlights the brand's signature innovations, including Hands-free Slip-ins technology, Glide-step technology, Hyper Burst Pro technology, Performance FitKnit technology and Air-Cooled Memory Foam technology.

The new retail space follows openings in Canada, Europe and Chile, showcasing sports footwear, apparel and accessories.

There are now five Skechers performance-focused stores across three continents, complementing the brand's presence in 5,300 Skechers retail stores, skechers.com, and department stores and footwear retailers globally.

Skechers president Michael Greenberg stated: “The Skechers performance retail era is in full force: from our first flagship store earlier this year in Canada to two new locations in Europe this spring and our recently opened destination in Chile - all have shown how enthusiastic our consumers are for our comfort that performs.

“At our largest factory mall location, Skechers’ World of Sports showcases all that’s revolutionary about our one-of-a-kind technologies for the 36 million annually who frequent one of the highest-traffic tourist malls in the country. Like every professional athlete and enthusiast who has stepped into our styles, we’re all in and are ready to change the game.”
