Like a growing number of players in America, pickleball is our sport. We’ll ditch work, lunch, and sometimes Valentine’s day altogether to fit in a few pickup games at the local courts. Contrary to popular belief, however, pickleball is not a low impact sport. If you’re getting up there in age like we are, the game of pickleball can take its toll on your joints, feets, and everywhere else. Several ways to combat the fatigue an aches of a long afternoon playing include fixing your mechanics, and investing in some quality footwear. The latter can be easily accomplished with Nike’s new Zoom Challenge Pickleball Shoes.
Features like an Air Zoom unit in the heel and synthetic overlays add more bounce to your step and additional ankle support, while breathable mesh panels and extra rubber at the toe and forefoot provide breathability and durability to the shoe during long rallies close to the net.
