Skechers, POP MART’s PUCKY Team Up for Singapore Collection, Offers Free Pickleball Set for Big Spenders
Pickleball has turned up in plenty of unexpected places, but a collectible art toy collaboration is a new one. Skechers has teamed up with POP MART’s PUCKY to launch the Skechers | POP MART PUCKY Collection in Singapore, and the gift with purchase is a pickleball set.
Now, Skechers getting involved in something related to pickleball isn’t entirely new. It has partnered with other brands before and has released numerous pickleball-specific lines and products. The novelty here, and perhaps the surprise, is POP MART’s involvement. Then again, given the meteoric rise of the sport, it probably isn’t that surprising for another company to want in on the pickleball craze.
A Whimsical World Meets Skechers Comfort
The collection draws on Hong Kong-based artist Pucky (@puckyart), whose creative universe is filled with fairy-like characters and curious creatures inspired by nature and imagination. PUCKY is known for its storytelling and for the collectible art toys it makes with POP MART, and the collaboration now brings that colourful fantasy world to footwear, apparel and accessories.
Specifically, the collection reinterprets PUCKY’s Poko’s Adventure Series across contemporary designs, pairing the series’ playful visuals with Skechers’ comfort-focused footwear.
What’s in the Collection
Footwear (women’s): Two popular Skechers silhouettes, each in three designs from the Poko’s Adventure Series.
- Skechers Sport Court 2.0: Scare the Monster Away, Nice to Meet You and A New Journey
- Skechers D’Lites: Poko’s Fantasy, Beanie’s Decision and Saved by the Cat
Apparel and accessories (unisex):
- Knit short-sleeve T-shirts in four designs, in Black Beauty and Snow White
- Crossbody bags in Navy Blazer, Sand Dollar and Black Beauty
- A tote bag in Black Beauty
- Crew socks in blue and brown
