Pink Bands are back for 2026

After a year off in 2025, Skellerup Pink Band returns from 1 May 2026. This limited-edition release is designed to support Breast Cancer Foundation NZ in a simple, everyday way - turning something people already rely on into a practical way to make a real difference across Aotearoa.

The 2026 lineup

This year’s Pink Band range sees the return of Men’s and Women/Youth gumboots, along with Pink Band socks.

New for 2026, every pair of gumboots features a custom Pink Ribbon print lining. Exclusive to this year’s release, it’s a subtle detail built into every pair - a quiet reminder of the purpose behind each step.

Supporting a cause that matters

For five years, Skellerup has proudly stood alongside Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, supporting individuals and whānau affected by breast cancer across Aotearoa.

That support continues in 2026, with a direct contribution built into every purchase. For each pair of gumboots sold, $5 is donated, and for every pair of socks, $1 goes to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

These funds support vital work across research, education, and patient support - helping improve outcomes, raise awareness of early detection, and support those navigating diagnosis and treatment.

With nine people diagnosed with breast cancer in New Zealand every day, this support is needed constantly. The Pink Band range is one way of turning an everyday purchase into meaningful, measurable action.

Available nationwide

The 2026 Pink Band range will be available through selected retailers nationwide, including Mitre 10, Farmlands, Bunnings, PGG Wrightson, Farm Source, and Ruralco. Pink Band socks will be stocked through Bunnings, Mitre 10, Farm Source, and PGG Wrightson. As a limited-edition release, availability may vary by store.
