Reebok Unveils First Ever Pickleball Shoe

You know an athlete has “made it” when they get a shoe deal, but by the same logic, you know a sport has hit the mainstream when major shoe companies start to make footwear for it. Given its immense popularity, pickleball was always destined to attract shoemakers, and just this week Reebok has unveiled their dedicated court shoe, the Nano Court. RELATED: Best Running Shoes Granted, this shoe works for all court sports, including padel and tennis, but Reebok went out of their way to recruit professional pickleball player Hurricane Tyra Black to promote their campaign, so pickleball players everywhere should reach for these before their next on-court. From an aesthetics perspective, the Nano Courts are an elegant evolution of Reebok’s best-selling Nano series of training shoes. Aficionados of those shoes will recognize some familiar design language, but the Court, launching in seven distinct colorways, are still distinctive enough to stand out from the field. As with all Reebok shoes, however, performance takes priority, and these are no exception. Using a FLEXWAVE Pro Upper, the Court shoes offer enhanced durability and stability exactly where pickleball players need it most, while a reinforced toe box helps prevent wear and tear while protecting your feet from missteps. Their rubber outsole with herringbone traction pattern offers excellent grip and feel on all surfaces, while the Floatride Court Foam offers a comfortable ride that still manages to be responsive. Finally, the Nano Court shoes weigh just 12oz, so once you lace them up the combination of their lightweight design and excellent lockdown will have you forget you’re wearing shoes, giving you the confidence to reach for deep or long shots. Want to cop a pair? The Reebok Nano Court shoes go on sale on June 20th, on Reebok.com and in select retailers across the world.
