Step Aside Sneakers, Selkirk's CourtStrike Shoes Have Entered the Chat
In a world where your Aunt Karen thinks her tennis shoes will cut it on the pickleball court (spoiler: they won’t), Selkirk Sport just dropped a game-changer — literally. Meet the CourtStrike and CourtStrike Pro, the brand’s first-ever pickleball-specific shoes. And trust us, they’re here to make a statement.
Why You Need Pickleball-Specific Shoes
Pickleball demands quick pivots, lateral movements, and lightning-fast reactions. Running shoes? Not gonna cut it. Tennis shoes? Better, but still not built for the hustle and shuffle of pickleball.
Selkirk’s CourtStrike shoes are promised to be engineered specifically for the unique physical demands of the game.
What Sets These Shoes Apart?
1. Toe Freedom
Say "Goodbye" to cramped toes, the CourtStrike line gives you room to breathe. If you’ve ever cursed your shoes mid-game because your toes felt like they were auditioning for Cirque du Soleil, these shoes are your savior. CourtStrike lets your toes splay naturally, giving you better balance and comfort.
2. Soles That Can Take a Beating
Pickleball courts aren’t exactly gentle. The high-abrasion rubber soles on these shoes are built to endure endless games, whether you’re playing on slick indoor courts or rough outdoor surfaces. Plus, Selkirk's shoes are backed by a 6-month outsole warranty so you can feel confident that they will hold up.
3. Shock Absorption That’s Actually Shocking
With dual-density molded footbeds and premium midsole foam, the CourtStrike shoes absorb shock and reduce fatigue, so your feet don’t feel like they just ran a triathlon.
CourtStrike vs. CourtStrike Pro
Think of the CourtStrike as the dependable sidekick and the CourtStrike Pro as the flashy superhero. Both are great, but the Pro model is designed for those players who treat every game like it’s the finals of a national championship.
CourtStrike Pro Perks:
- 360-Degree 3D-Printed Overlays – More lateral stability for when you’re channeling your inner Allyce Jones to make those wild saves — These shoes support all of your quick moves.
- Engineered Mesh Upper – Breathability and durability, because let’s face it—you’re not exactly walking on clouds out there.
The Price Tag
At $100 for the CourtStrike and $120 for the CourtStrike Pro, these shoes are a steal. They come in men’s sizes 7-14 and women’s sizes 6-11, with multiple color options to match your vibe (and maybe even your paddle).
Bottom Line: Leave Your Old Shoes at the Door (Literally)
These shoes are built for pickleball, by people who actually play pickleball. Game on, folks. Your feet will thank you.
