Reebok Nano Court Transforms Pickleball Footwear
By Nija Phillips
The pickleball craze has taken the world by storm, and major sneaker brands are racing to meet the demand for specialized footwear. Reebok, leveraging its rich tennis heritage, is set to revolutionize the pickleball shoe market with the upcoming release of the Reebok Nano Court in June 2024.
Unlike most pickleball shoes that are merely repurposed tennis sneakers, Reebok’s approach is refreshingly unique. Drawing inspiration from the brand’s renowned Nano sneaker line, the Nano Court integrates pickleball-specific features into the DNA of Reebok’s iconic tennis shoes.
The upper of the Nano Court boasts a durable FLEXWEAVE knit, ensuring comfort and durability on the court. A strategically placed ToeTection guard in the forefoot offers protection against toe drags, a common occurrence in the fast-paced game of pickleball.
Underfoot, the Nano Court excels in traction with its GRIPTONITE rubber outsole. The Floatride Court midsole provides superior cushioning, allowing players to move with confidence and agility.
To celebrate the launch, Reebok has created an impressive eight-pack collection. Four vibrant, retro-inspired colorways pay homage to the brand’s rich heritage, while four traditional looks in black, white, and rubber cater to those who prefer a classic court aesthetic.
Reebok’s commitment to the pickleball community is underscored by the involvement of professional pickleball champion Hurricane Tyra Black. As a Reebok athlete, Black’s endorsement highlights the performance capabilities of the Nano Court.
The Reebok Nano Court will be available on June 20th in unisex sizes and will retail for $120 USD. Pickleball enthusiasts can secure their pair exclusively at reebok.com.
