Skechers opened an 8,650-square-foot Superstore at the Sunway Pyramid mall in Subang Jaya, expanding its physical presence in Malaysia.

The relocated store is nearly six times larger than the brand’s previous 1,453-square-foot unit at the same shopping centre. It is the company’s first Superstore format in Subang Jaya. The launch lifts its nationwide network to 120 doors.

Zoned layout and digital fitting

Dedicated zones divide the catalogue into sections for walking, running, trail, pickleball, performance apparel and children’s collections. The store also includes SafeSize 3D foot-scanning hardware to generate personalised sizing data. Alongside the scanners, an in-store customisation station lets shoppers modify selected shoes and garments.

Footwear retailers across Southeast Asia continue to trade standard mall units for large experiential spaces. The bigger layouts capture higher basket sizes and accommodate specialized athletic lines that boutique footprints cannot hold.

Expansion pipeline across Malaysia

Malaysia is a key sales volume driver for the American brand. Cedrick Tan, president of Skechers Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and South Korea, said the group will maintain its brick-and-mortar investment pace to keep up with domestic demand.

More outlets will launch across the country over the coming months to build on the 120-store base.
