As the world of pickleball continues to expand rapidly across the sports and fitness market, Skechers unveiled the Viper Court Pro 2.0 on January 8, its latest dedicated pickleball shoe, following the popularity of the original Viper Court Pro, which reportedly set a high bar for elite-level pickleball footwear.
The Viper Court Pro 2.0 features Skechers’ signature advanced comfort technologies found in the first iteration in an updated design constructed with the elite-level pickleball player in mind.
Skechers athletes and top-ranked professional pickleball players Catherine Parenteau and Tyson McGuffin, pictured below, will headline the Viper Court Pro 2.0 launch and have already been competing in the new style on tour. The elite players previously competed in the original Skechers Viper Court Pro shoe since signing with the brand in 2022.
Key technical features of the Viper Court Pro 2.0 include an innovative mesh upper for breathability with a rubber toe guard for durability, a Skechers Relaxed Fit proprietary shoe design for a roomy fit, plus lightweight, responsive Ultra Flight cushioning for added comfort.
The Skechers Arch Fit removable insole system also provides podiatrist-certified arch support and a mid-foot TPU shank for additional stability.
Skechers said that elite players will appreciate that the Viper Court Pro 2.0 also features a Goodyear Gold rubber outsole for added stability and durability. This uniquely designed compound allows high-impact athletes to perform more advanced, controlled slides into shots on the court surface.
The outsole of the Viper Court Pro 2.0 is indoor/outdoor approved and non-marking.
The Viper Court Pro 2.0 comes in various colorways and will be available on skechers.com and select retailers worldwide on January 8.
