Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters Chief Baseball Officer Hideki Kuriyama Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins(TM) are revolutionary shoes that can be slipped on without using your hands, whether you are standing or sitting. Thanks to the shoehorn-shaped heel panel and unique HEEL PILLOW(TM) design, these shoes can be put on instantly without crushing the heel, and are characterized by a secure fit the moment you put your feet in. Currently, Skechers has models equipped with Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins(TM) technology in all shoe categories. This commercial was shot in Los Angeles, California, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, with whom Hideki Kuriyama has a strong affinity, and where Skechers’ headquarters is located. The wearing scene is inspired by Hideki Kuriyama’s daily life, and embodies the
functionality and comfort of Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins(TM) technology. Through this shoot, I received the following comment from Hideki Kuriyama. Hideki Kuriyama’s comment When I went to this filming location in LA, I thought that I am glad that I played baseball. I’ve had the image of the Los Angeles Dodgers as baseball since I was a kid, so I couldn’t be happier to be able to do this kind of
photography here. I found the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins(TM) to be a really useful feature that allows me to put them on and take action without using my hands when holding various things in my hands. When recommending SKECHERS, I like to say, “Don’t say anything, just try them on.” I don’t think I need any explanation at all because you can see how comfortable, easy to wear, functional and fashionable SKECHERS shoes are. I would like everyone to try it. This commercial will be broadcast nationwide, and Skechers official YouTube channel You can also watch it. Also, making videos and interview videos will be released on the same channel.
