Pack Skechers Sunset: the football boots

What is the Skechers Sunset pack?

The Skechers Sunset pack is the football shoe collection launched by Skechers featuring a vibrant colour inspired by the sunset over Los Angeles, the city where the brand was born. It dresses both of the manufacturer’s performance models, the SKX_2 Elite and the Razor 2 Elite, in a warm gradient that stands out on the pitch. Skechers is a relatively new player in football compared to historical brands, and this pack accompanies its rise in international pitches, with players like Harry Kane and Anthony Elanga. On this page, you’ll find the models from the pack available for order, in the remaining sizes.

SKX_2 Elite or Razor 2 Elite: which model to choose?

The SKX_2 Elite is the control shoe of the pack, while the Razor 2 Elite is the speed shoe. The former focuses on the quality of contact with the ball thanks to a moulded pattern on the upper, designed for striking and ball control, with a knitted upper that wraps around the foot. The latter is a lighter silhouette, built for acceleration and repeated runs into space. Both share the same home foundations: a Hyper Burst Pro cushioning, a Performance FitKnit upper, and internal support elements that reduce foot slippage inside the shoe. Specifically, if you play in a creative role, providing support, or often receive the ball with your back to goal, the SKX_2 will suit you better. If you attack space from the wing or play as a striker, the Razor 2 is more in line with your profile.

FG or SG: which sole to take depending on your pitch?

The choice depends on the surface you play on most often, not your level. The FG version, for dry ground, is recognized by its non-removable moulded studs and is suitable for firm natural pitches and modern synthetic surfaces. The SG version, for soft ground, combines screw-in and moulded studs to provide grip on a saturated or ploughed pitch in the dead of winter. If you play on a natural pitch in the north or west of France between November and February, the SG will prevent you from slipping during your movements. If you only have one pair and alternate between surfaces, the FG remains the most versatile option.

Who is this Skechers shoe pack aimed at?

The Sunset pack targets players looking for a competitive pair who don't want to wear the same model as half their teammates. It's also a logical entry for players already accustomed to the comfort of Skechers shoes in running or walking, as the brand applies its cushioning solutions to a studded shoe here. The warm colour of the Sunset is very visible, which appeals to those who like a flashy pair, but less so to those who prefer to stay discreet. This pack is not the right choice for futsal or the stabilized pitch, as it is designed for studded surfaces.

How to maintain studded shoes to make them last longer?

Maintenance involves three simple steps to be taken after each match. Remove dirt from the studs and sole with a dry brush rather than a spray of water, wipe the upper with a damp cloth, then let them dry at room temperature, away from a radiator that could harden the materials. On an SG version, regularly check the tightness of the screw-in studs and replace worn ones, as a worn stud diminishes grip and causes instability. Keeping a second pair on rotation during wet periods significantly extends the lifespan of each pair.

Where to find good deals on Skechers football shoes?

Pairs from the packs are added to the commercial pages of the site as soon as a new collection arrives or a season ends, which is where the best deals happen. The Black Friday on football shoes kicks off the busiest time of the year, followed by the end-of-year holidays, then the winter sales found on the shoes sales page, and finally the French Days in spring, highlighted by the special offers. Between these peak times, football shoe promotions, the shoe clearance page, and the shoe deals selection gather last season's styles and colours, often in limited sizes. To follow new releases as they come, check the new football shoe arrivals, and if you need your pair quickly, the shoes shipped in 24h page displays only the models ready to go.

Frequently asked questions

Does Skechers really make football shoes?

Yes, Skechers has launched a football range with two performance silos, the SKX_2 Elite and the Razor 2 Elite, worn in competition by professional players like Harry Kane or Anthony Elanga. The American brand, initially known for its casual and running shoes, is applying its cushioning technologies here. The Sunset pack is one of the colours in this football range.

Do Skechers shoes fit like other football brands?

A studded shoe should fit more snugly than a casual pair, with about half a centimetre of space in front of the longest toe, and this rule also applies to Skechers. If you switch from a pair of Skechers sneakers to a pair of football shoes from the same brand, don’t automatically take the same size, as the usages are different. The most reliable method is to measure your foot in centimetres and compare it with the size guide displayed on the product page.

Can you wear SG shoes on a synthetic pitch?

This is not recommended. The screw-in studs of the soft ground versions sink poorly into synthetic surfaces and focus pressure on a few points, which causes premature wear on the sole and strains the joints. For synthetic surfaces, an FG sole or a sole specifically designed for artificial surfaces is much more suitable.

Does a pack like the Sunset stay available for long?

A pack is tied to a specific period of the season, so it is not restocked indefinitely. Central sizes generally sell out first, and then the collection moves to the clearance pages on the site. If you like a colour, it’s better to grab it during its release window instead of waiting for a price drop that may not happen in your size.

Do you need a high-end pair to play in an amateur club?

No, an intermediate pair is sufficient for most amateur players, and the most crucial factor remains the sole suitable for your pitch. The Elite models primarily offer lighter materials and firmer support, useful if you play several times a week at high intensity. For a weekly match on soft ground, a good SG sole will serve you better than a high-end upper mounted on an unsuitable sole.
