Currently available in Spain at select outlets, this limited-edition capsule collection will soon be accessible at Skechers retail stores and websites across the United States and other chosen global markets.
Michael Greenberg, President of Skechers, commended Ricardo Cavolo’s distinct artistic style, describing it as dynamic, direct, and emotionally resonant. The collaboration celebrates Cavolo’s evocative symbols of love, empathy, and hope, prominently featured on the shoe designs personally crafted by the artist.
Ricardo Cavolo, a multimedia artisan recognized for his fusion of traditional and folk arts with contemporary tattoo culture, boasts a diverse portfolio, including illustrations, publications, fashion partnerships, and global commissions. His artwork has graced public murals and exhibitions worldwide, spanning cities such as Paris, Moscow, Mexico City, and Hong Kong.
