Building on the buzz of their previous collection, this latest release pairs Skechers’ signature comfort with the vibrant and playful artistry of Belgian visual artist Vexx.

Designed to stand out, the Skechers x Vexx: The Koopa Court – Vexx Chenille sneakers come in three stylish colour options for men — Black Grey, Off-White Red, and White Black Purple.

Our Review of the Latest Skechers x Vexx Collaboration

Skechers x Vexx review

Bold Aesthetics with a Playful Twist

Let’s get this out of the way as it’s obvious at first glance — these sneakers are made for the youth. Vexx’s design is fun and full of energy, with clean lines and quirky details like the chenille patch that adds a playful touch. However, the creamy colour is a nice twist that resonates with everyone, especially paired with the classic court-style look — it’s fresher and more versatile than basic white, making these kicks a go-to for anyone who loves bold and creative fashion.

Let’s be real though, they’re not for more mature people, the minimalist crowd or anyone into super classic styles. These sneakers are for people who want their shoes to have personality and stand out in a crowd. Fun, artsy, and modern, they’ve got that effortlessly cool factor that feels perfect for a younger and trendier audience. But hey, even if you don’t fall into that category, the Skechers x Vexx: The Koopa Court – Vexx Chenille is a great way to venture out of your comfort zone!

Comfort That Keeps You Moving

Speaking of comfort, long days on foot running around the city deserve sneakers that prioritise support and cushioning. Thankfully, Skechers is known for some of the most comfortable shoes on the market, and their latest collaboration doesn’t disappoint. With Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles and a Skech-Air® visible airbag midsole, each step in these sneakers feels supported and effortless.

These features ensure long hours of wear stay comfortable, whether walking or standing, and that’s why it earns a 4 out of 5 from us in terms of comfort. Combined with the court-style midsole, the sneakers provide plush cosiness without compromising on functionality, even as its heel adds 1 1/4 inches to your height. Perfect for casual, everyday use, they offer a balanced feel that’s soft yet structured — exactly what every sneakerhead dreams of!

A Fit That Feels Just Right

Struggling to find shoes with the perfect fit? Your luck has changed as the fit of the Skechers x Vexx: The Koopa Court-Vexx Chenille sneakers is fantastic, especially with its roomy toe box that lets feet move naturally. No more dealing with pinching or uncomfortable tightness with these bad boys. Whether it’s a long day of errands or a quick trip to the store, these sneakers stay comfortable without feeling too loose or too tight — just the right amount of support.

As for durability, these sneakers are made to last. The duraleather upper is both tough and sleek, adding a little polish to the design without compromising on sturdiness. While they’re a bit heavier than your usual sneakers, it just makes them feel more solid and reliable. And don’t worry about slipping — thanks to the flexible traction outsole, these kicks offer a good grip. They may not be meant for high-impact sports, but for casual, everyday wear, they truly strike the perfect balance between practicality and style.
