Skechers unveiled its Find My Skechers collection—kids’ sneakers with a hidden compartment under the insole built for Apple AirTags.

Offered in multiple styles and sizes from toddlers to eight-year-olds, these covert kicks give parents real-time location peace of mind.

Skechers has just introduced Find My Skechers, a new line of kids’ sneakers with a hidden compartment built expressly to secure Apple AirTags. Perfect for parents sending children off to school or neighborhood adventures, these shoes provide an unobtrusive way to track locations without bulky accessories or visible hardware.

Sneaker Design Meets Tracker Tech

Lift the removable insole and a fabric web liner to reveal a recessed plastic compartment molded right into the cushioned midsole. It holds an Apple AirTag securely and features a screw-on lid to prevent tampering or accidental loss — even when toddlers test their limits by stuffing objects in their mouths. Skechers engineered the housing to preserve Bluetooth signals, ensuring your child’s tracker stays connected without interference. Available in various colors and designs, sizes range from toddler to eight-year-olds.

  • Hidden compartment under the insole secures AirTag out of sight
  • Screw-on lid resists tampering and prevents accidental removal
  • Plastic housing maintains wireless communication without blocking signals
  • Unbranded exterior looks like any standard Skechers sneaker

Benefits for Parents and Brands

As kids gain independence, knowing their location offers crucial peace of mind. Parents can check real-time positions during walks to school or outdoor play, reducing anxiety over misplaced jackets or dropped trackers. For Skechers, this innovation intersects footwear design with IoT, opening a pathway for established apparel brands to tap into connected device markets and build loyalty through enhanced safety features.

The Future of Smart Footwear

Skechers’ Find My Skechers sneakers hint at a broader shift toward embedding technology in everyday wearables. Beyond location tracking, future smart footwear could integrate health sensors, adaptive fit mechanisms or environmental alerts.
