“I tell our players to never get too comfortable mentally, but
after standing on NFL sidelines for more than 30 years I can very
much appreciate being able to kick off—or slip in—to my shoes
comfortably,” said Andy Reid. “Skechers knows comfort better than
anyone and these Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins are the best thing to
ever happen in footwear! Who has time to worry about tying laces
when we have games to win!”
“Coaching championship-caliber teams takes everything you’ve
got, so anyone will understand exactly why Coach Reid appreciates
the comfort and ease of Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins,” said Michael
Greenberg, president of Skechers. “Only Skechers has the signature
hands-free technology to help one of the most recognizable and
successful active coaches in the league stay comfortable during
downtime—so he’s always ready to go hands free. Plus, our
innovative Skechers Slip-ins collection is perfect for fans—just
step in and head to the tailgate.”
Now in the midst of his 12th season as head coach of the Kansas
City Chiefs, Andy Reid previously spent 14 seasons as head coach of
the Philadelphia Eagles. With a career head coaching record of
294-161-1, Reid is the only NFL coach to achieve key milestones
with two different franchises: more than 100 wins as well as
appearing in four consecutive conference championship games. He’s a
three-time Super Bowl champion (LIV, LVII, LVIII), 2002 AP NFL
Coach of the Year and three-time Sporting News Coach of the Year
(2000, 2002, 2018).
Andy Reid joins a team of global Skechers ambassadors—from music
icon Snoop Dogg, lifestyle legend Martha Stewart, comedian Howie
Mandel, and TV and fitness personalities Amanda Kloots and Brooke
Burke to former professional athletes such as Tony Romo, Howie
Long, and Sugar Ray Leonard. The roster of elite pros around the
