Now batting for Skechers…Albert Pujols!
Beginning this spring, former Major League Baseball great, Pujols, will be pitching Skechers. The former St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Angels star first baseman/DH will make his debut by starring in Spanish-language campaigns aimed at educating fans about the brand’s easy-to-wear and Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins.
“With his legendary performance at the plate over a storied decades-long career, Albert Pujols is beloved by fans from Los Angeles to St. Louis and throughout the Caribbean and Americas—making him the perfect ambassador to share our Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins campaign with Spanish-speaking markets,” states Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “He’s part of our strategy to ensure that every consumer around the world understands how easy it is to just slip in and go with this signature Skechers innovation.”
“After 22 years on the field, I’m ready to take it easy, so these amazing shoes from Skechers that I can put on without any effort are exactly what I need,” Pujols states. “Excited to be part of the Skechers team. All it took was stepping into a pair of Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins and it was a home run for me.”
Best known as ‘La Maquina’, the two-time World Champion and future Hall of Famer is a natural talent. From the diamonds in his native Dominican Republic to a 20-plus year career , Pujols has established himself as one of the greatest players in league history. His career accolades include three-time National League MVP, 11-time All-Star, six-time Silver Slugger, and two-time Gold Glove winner. Off the field, he has been recognized for his community service as the 2008 recipient of the MLB’s Roberto Clemente Award, as well as receiving the Muhammed Ali Sports Humanitarian Award at the 2022 ESPY’s.
