It comes after Adidas cut ties with West over the antisemitic remarks he made on social media.
Forbes magazine estimated that the loss of the Adidas partnership has cut West’s net worth from $1.5 billion to $400 million.
Adidas expects to take a hit of as much as $246.5 million to its net income in the current fiscal year.
Gap terminated its tie-up with West in September, and is now taking immediate steps to remove Yeezy Gap products from its stores and shut down YeezyGap.com.
Balenciaga also severed ties with him.
“We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech,” Skechers said.
“We again stress that West showed up unannounced and uninvited.”
