Sketchers Remakes a Classic, and Finds a Fresh, Young Voice

  LOS ANGELES, CA - 10/21/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

Sketchers and voice actor Eric Leopardi are lighting up the small screen, after Sketchers selected Leopardi as the new voice of the national Sketchers S-Light campaign.

The S-Light shoe -which should come as a nostalgically familiar sight to the kids of the 90’s- is a reincarnation of the classic light-up shoe, which will be as much a staple for kids today as it was of their parents not too long ago. Available in a multitude of styles, the S-Light line includes unique styles such as the Boys Star Wars: Damager III – Astromech, a personal favorite of Leopardi’s, and jeweled Chuck Taylor style light up shoes for girls.

Leopardi is a veteran of the voice over industry, having started as a child actor at age 6. Recently, Leopardi signed with William Morris Endeavor, and relocated to Los Angeles. With his upbeat and widely appealing voice, Eric can be heard promoting Sketchers exciting shoe on networks such as Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, receiving heavy play in the morning hours during children’s programming. 

Eric reports that he had a fantastic time recording the ads, which received extensive coverage between morning shows nearly immediately. “I really enjoyed working with Sketchers and the amazing team at Talk Shop L.A.” he said. “It was an awesome experience.”
