Skechers, The Comfort Technology Company™ and global leader in lifestyle and performance footwear is bringing Kuala Lumpur-based graffiti artist and illustrator Cloakwork (@cloakwork) into the SkechVibe fold with the SkechVibe x Cloakwork Collection, lending his signature visual language to a new capsule of limited-edition apparel and accessory.
Created as a platform to celebrate artistic expression through wearable design, SkechVibe brings together creative talents whose distinctive perspectives resonate with today’s generation of self-expression and individuality. For its latest collaboration, Skechers partners with Cloakwork, whose vibrant murals, playful illustrations and unmistakable visual style transform everyday apparel into wearable works of art.
Beginning with a spray can in his Kuala Lumpur neighbourhood over a decade ago, Cloakwork has since built a multidisciplinary creative practice spanning murals, illustration and public art installations across Malaysia and internationally. Known for his bold colours, expressive characters and energetic compositions, his work captures the vibrancy of urban culture while remaining approachable and universally recognisable.
That same creative language has extended beyond walls into collaborations for wearable art – making him a natural fit for SkechVibe, where original artistic expression meets everyday style.
The SkechVibe x Cloakwork Collection features four exclusive T-shirt designs and one tote bag design, each offered in two colourways. Drawing inspiration from Cloakwork’s signature artistic style, the collection blends bold graphics, playful characters and vibrant visual elements into wardrobe staples, inviting wearers to express their individuality through art-inspired fashion.
Whether worn as statement pieces or styled for everyday occasions, the collection reflects Skechers’ belief that comfort and creativity can go hand in hand, bringing original artistic expression into designs that are made to be lived in.
Setting the tone for laid-back days, this design features a character stretched out in a hammock strung between two palm trees, drink in hand and slides kicked off in the sand. Set against a warm coastal palette of orange and ocean blue, “SKECHERS SUMMER CLUB” arches overhead in bold retro lettering, capturing the ease of slower days ahead. Relaxed and sun-soaked, this piece opens the collection on a lighter note before the rest of the capsule turns to the streets.
Inspired by Cloakwork’s early days painting the walls of his neighbourhood, this design features a character peeking over a brick wall shaped into the iconic Skechers “S”, with spray cans, paint drips and an old-school boombox completing the scene. Brought to life in brick red, sky blue and sun-faded yellow, the artwork pays homage to graffiti’s raw beginnings, where a blank wall and a can of spray paint were all it took to spark creativity. A subtle nod to Cloakwork’s own journey, the design celebrates the humble origins that laid the foundation for his artistic career.
Built around the energy of city streets, this design features a scooter carrying a delivery box tagged “SKECH VIBE” in Cloakwork’s signature graffiti lettering, with “CLOAK” tagged beside it, his own graffiti signature. Trailing from the scooter like exhaust, a puffed graffiti cloud spells out “SKECHERS” in lavender bubble lettering, drifting off the back as it rides. A grey walking shoe stands in for the scooter’s front kickstand, a comical touch that keeps the whole scene light.
Built around the rhythm and motion of dance, this design features two sneaker-character mascots strutting side by side, one in pink, one in navy, music notes swirling around them and a comic-style “SKECH VIBE” burst exploding overhead. Their laces reach out and hold hands, a small detail that reads as a couple out for the night, while the purple sneaker carries a Y2K media player to keep the beat going. Between them, a Skechers road sign doubles as a disco ball. Playful and full of energy, the design gives the shoe’s everyday stride a dance-floor spin.
The hero piece of the collaboration, this design puts Cloakwork himself in the frame, a cartoon self-portrait, cap on, spray can in hand, caught mid-tag against a brick wall shaped into the Skechers “S.” Available in Snow White and Black Beauty, crafted in 100% Cotton, it’s designed to pair easily with any of the four tees, rounding out the capsule as its everyday carry piece.
Now available for a limited time only, the SkechVibe x Cloakwork Collection is available at RM139 at selected Skechers concept stores, including 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Pavilion Bukit Jalil, Pavilion KL, Suria KLCC, The Exchange TRX Mall and more.
