Skechers brings Proto hologram retail innovation to Los Angeles. April 9, 2026 Read Time: 2 minute(s) Skechers has launched its first permanent Proto hologram retail experience at its Manhattan Beach store in Los Angeles. At the centre of the experience is Howie Mandel, Skechers' brand ambassador, presented through an interactive 3D hologram designed to create an immersive retail encounter. Described as one of the first permanent Proto hologram installations in footwear retail, the concept enables Skechers to expand its in-store storytelling through interactive technology. Visitors can interact with a life-size hologram of Howie Mandel, take a "Proto selfie," and receive access to a special promotion. In addition, the hologram activation references the beginnings of Howie Mandel's relationship with Skechers. Before joining as a brand ambassador, Mandel visited a Skechers store, took a selfie and joked that he should receive a discount for representing the label. The moment ultimately led to a partnership, with customers now invited to recreate it through selfies with his hologram. Next, blending entertainment, technology, and retail, the hologram installation highlights how brands are reimagining physical stores as immersive, tech-driven destinations. Skechers president Michael Greenberg describes the 3D hologram as only the beginning, with ambitions to expand the experience to thousands of Skechers locations worldwide. "Technology is at the heart of Skechers, so it's natural for us to lead in pioneering innovations," Greenberg said at the launch. "We see retail as theatre, and technology elevates that stage. Proto is just the first act in what this platform and the personalities it can bring to life will achieve." Powered by advanced AI capabilities, the Proto hologram operating system enables brand ambassadors to appear live inside the unit and interact with customers in real time, while AI-generated avatars can hold conversations in multiple languages. Similar immersive in-store hologram concepts have previously been adopted by brands such as Nike and Puma. Additionally, with the permanent installation, Skechers expands its use of immersive technology as part of a wider effort to enhance the in-store customer journey. By combining holographic storytelling, interactive engagement and AI-powered communication, the brand is turning a traditional retail visit into a more memorable and participatory experience. The launch also reflects a broader movement across the retail sector, where brands are increasingly investing in digital tools that blur the line between physical and virtual shopping environments, using innovation not only to attract footfall but also to strengthen brand connection and encourage longer in-store engagement.

Offering physical galleries where customers can walk in, explore and experience our product firsthand has transformed every part of our brand from our immersive World of Sports experiences to lifestyle and performance destinations. This all-encompassing flagship store joins our most prominent Skechers destinations around the globe presenting Nordic consumers with the innovations, comfort, convenience, and value that have made Skechers one of Europe's fastest-growing names in footwear." Peter Jørgensen, country manager of Skechers Nordics, added, "Our exceptional flagship retail space and Amagertorv's high-traffic destination make it the perfect setting to connect our signature Comfort That Performs with locals and visitors from around the world. Amagertorv provides a premium space with maximum visibility alongside strong international and Danish brands where we can showcase the full breadth of our universe and offer a footwear experience beyond the ordinary."

"In the past few years, Sound Running events have featured world-class athletes including Grant Fisher, Sifan Hassan, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, and Cole Hocker - and we expect strong participation amongst the USATF Foundation's tremendous elite grant community this year." "Our goal is to provide an amazing opportunity for the athletes, and to give the fans the best possible experience with a festival vibe," Williams added. "The set-up of accommodations and facilities at UCLA is ideal, and we plan to create a high-energy atmosphere that surrounds the highest levels of athletic competition." "As the Official Footwear and Apparel Sponsor of LA Track Fest this year, we're looking forward to connecting with some of the world's most talented runners and showcasing our Skechers AERO Series of technical running shoes," said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers.

As part of its sponsorship, Skechers will present two marquee races at this year's LA Track Fest - the SKECHERS Running Women's 1500m and SKECHERS Running Men's 1500m. Attendees can also visit the Skechers exhibit space at UCLA's Drake Stadium to experience Skechers AERO running shoes in person. Additionally, Skechers will provide footwear to all event staff, officials, and the Flotrack broadcast team.
