Skechers at ISPO: Variety for sports and padel

Skechers presented a wide range of innovative sports shoes and products at two locations at ISPO 2023. While one stand focused on running, golf, soccer and basketball, the second stand was dedicated to the up-and-coming field of padel and pickleball sports. A particular highlight was the Viper Court Pro 2.0, a shoe specially developed for pickleball and padel and characterized by tailor-made functions.

Viper Court Pro 2.0: Shoe especially for pickleball and padel

Pickleball and tennis require different requirements for sports shoes, and Skechers has taken this into account with the Viper Court Pro 2.0. Unlike more robust tennis shoes, this shoe has been optimized for the short, quick movements of pickleball. The relaxed fit in the forefoot offers more space to prevent injuries during abrupt changes of direction. The Goodyear sole provides optimal grip on a variety of surfaces, from hard concrete courts to sandy artificial turf, which is common in padel.

High-tech functions for comfort and performance

The Viper Court Pro 2.0 combines state-of-the-art technologies, including Skechers' own ArchFit insole, which offers individual arch support. The ultra-lightweight midsole, inspired by Skechers running products, makes the shoe particularly light and agile. Another highlight is the Hands-Free Slip-In technology, which makes it easy to put on and take off without having to touch the laces. These well thought-out functions make the shoe ideal for amateur and professional players.

Affordable quality for all levels of play

Skechers pickleball and padel shoes range in price from $70 to $150, depending on the player's needs. From casual to professional models, Skechers offers options for every budget and level of play. With the combination of innovative technologies, versatile design and a focus on specific sports such as pickleball and padel, Skechers is setting new standards for sports footwear.
