Tony Romo is back for another season behind the booth for CBS Sports, as part of the network’s “NFL on CBS” announcer lineup. The former quarterback-turned-TV analyst will be paired alongside veteran broadcaster Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson for the 2025 season, per a CBS release last week.
Romo is also making moves off the field, with the four-time Pro Bowler extending his partnership with Skechers, the athletic brand that Romo has endorsed since 2017. The quarterback appears in a series of ads for Skechers’ Hands Free Slip-ins Collection, which features shoes designed with flexible materials, tie-free laces and an exclusive “Heel Pillow,” that allow you to step in without bending over.
Romo is seen in a commercial promoting the Skechers Slip-ins Glide-Step Altus, which features the trendy open sole design seen on other popular sneaker brands. The Skechers version features a flexible and breathable jacquard knit upper with an “air-cooled memory foam” insole and a geometric cushioned midsole. The shoes are springy and supportive, offering sneakers that perform whether you’re hitting the field, the gym or the links.
The new shoes also include the Skechers “Cozy Fit” sneaker above, which the brand says is as soft and comfortable as a “well-worn sweatshirt.” As the name implies, the shoes offer plush cushioning that cradles your feet, with a memory foam insole for additional comfort. A foam midsole and flexible upper allow your feet to move and flex freely, rather than being “locked” in like some sneakers that use more rigid construction.
The “Slip-Ins” technology can also be seen on the “3D Energy” series of sneakers, which feature the same “heel pillow,” mesh upper, adjustable laces and a 3D-printed lattice midsole. Skechers says the shoes are made from “plush, unstructured materials designed to eliminate stiffness and pinching.”
All of the shoes in the collection are machine washable, making them even more practical for everyday wear. The shoes are also all made from vegan materials.
This is Romo’s eighth year in a row of working with Skechers, who have previously tapped athletes and sports icons like MLB pitcher Clayton Kershaw and boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, over the years. Skechers’ celebrity roster, meantime, includes ongoing collaborations with Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart. The footwear brand also teamed up with “Emily in Paris” star Ashley Park for a capsule collection in 2023.
Romo retired from the NFL following the 2016 season and made a successful transition to the broadcast booth, as one of the lead color analysts for CBS Sports.
