American runner wins 2014 Boston Marathon wearing Skechers.

Thirty-eight-year-old Meb Keflezighi, the first American man to win the Boston Marathon since 1983, crossed the finish line on Monday wearing Skechers GOmeb Speed 3 shoes, triumphant in a race that has become a symbol of resilience and determination–and breaking his personal record to boot with an official time of 2:08:37. “A year ago I decided I wanted to win the 2014 Boston Marathon for the people of Boston and for the U.S.,” Keflezighi says. Rick Higgins, vice president of merchandising and marketing for the Skechers performance division, says it’s a significant win not only for the brand, but for Boston and America. “We are so proud of Meb and his monumental accomplishment on what was clearly a very emotional day,” he says.
