Skechers Signs Elite Runner Shelby Houlihan to Performance Roster

September 17, 2026

Skechers continues to strengthen its elite athletics program by signing Shelby Houlihan, one of America’s most accomplished middle- and long-distance runners, to its performance roster. Houlihan, 14-time U.S. National Champion and the American record holder in the 1500m, becomes the first athlete to represent Skechers AERO, and is now training in the technical running shoes while preparing for the 2027 racing season.

“The AERO Series checks every box—they’re comfortable and responsive with incredible energy return so I can focus on my training and compete at the highest level,” said Shelby Houlihan, who will also appear in the brand’s campaigns. “From the very beginning, it was clear how much the Skechers team cared about what I need as an athlete. They’re investing in elite performance and pushing the product to places it hasn’t been before; to be part of the Skechers Performance elevation in running from the ground up is really special.” SGB MEDIA
