Background
Skechers' Israel business runs through Skechers Footwear, Ltd., the joint venture the corporation formed in 2016 with MGS Sport Trading Ltd., its longtime local distributor — so Israeli Skechers stores are part-owned by the US parent rather than a pure franchise operation. MGS is also the longtime Israeli operating partner for other international footwear brands, including Reebok. No corporate donations to Israel-linked organizations or public statements about Israel by Skechers U.S.A., Inc. were found; the documented record is the retail joint venture itself.

| Operations in Israel | 2016-09-14 | — | Skechers Footwear, Ltd. — Israel joint venture with MGS Sport Trading Ltd. Skechers U.S.A., Inc. signed a joint venture agreement with MGS Sport Trading Ltd. — its Israeli regional distributor of roughly 15 years — forming Skechers Footwear, Ltd. to run the brand's Israel business directly. At signing the operation included six Skechers retail stores, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem locations, and the company said the JV would let it 'aggressively' expand the brand in Israel using its global infrastructure and increase its investment in the region. This is a corporate-level commitment by Skechers itself, distinct from the earlier arms-length distributor relationship; the JV operation (as 'Skechers Israel') has since continued opening stores across the country. |
