Tyrol Pickleball, a Naples, FL-based pickleball footwear brand, has partnered with Kittridge & Associates for sales and distribution.
Building on this new partnership, Kittridge & Associates, based in River Edge, NJ, brings nationwide coverage with its 21-person team. Tyrol was founded in 2018 by Kevin Huckle, the former president at Kodiak Boots.
“As the sport of pickleball explodes in both recreational and competitive circles, we’re seeing footwear become a true performance differentiator,” said Huckle. “Our partnership with Kittridge gives us extensive reach in the U.S. and ensures retailers can tap into this fast-growing, equipment-hungry customer base.”
Vibram recently selected the company as its pickleball footwear partner. Tyrol also signed on as the exclusive footwear sponsor of The Life Time Open, a newly launched elite pickleball tournament backed by the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) and Major League Pickleball (MLP). It also recently formed a media partnership with The Dan Patrick Show.
