Kolkata, 11 September 2025 :
Global lifestyle and performance brand Skechers has made a grand statement in Kolkata with the unveiling of its massively expanded South City Mall store, led by Bollywood heartthrob and brand ambassador Kartik Aaryan.
Spread across 2,453 sq. ft.—almost three times the size of its previous outlet the new destination brings together Skechers’ complete footwear and apparel collections, a dedicated sports zone, and East India’s first Skechers digital façade, raising the bar for retail experiences in the region.
The excitement went beyond shopping. The launch powered the 10th Skechers Community Goal Challenge, where Aaryan cheered participants to collectively achieve 1,000 km on treadmills. On reaching the milestone, Skechers donated 100 pairs of children’s footwear to the Khel Foundation, giving underprivileged young athletes in Kolkata a step closer to their dreams.
Rahul Vira, CEO of Skechers South Asia, said the expansion reaffirms Kolkata’s importance in Skechers’ India growth story, blending world-class retail with community wellness initiatives.
Kartik Aaryan, soaking in the city’s energy, called the experience “inspiring and memorable,” praising Skechers for combining fitness with meaningful social impact.
With 435 retail stores nationwide, plus its strong online presence, Skechers continues to strengthen its footprint as India’s go-to comfort and performance brand.
