Pickleball Brand Recess Scores A Collaboration With Reebok

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America for the third consecutive year, and with its meteoric rise, a niche yet substantial market for high-end, statement-making pickleball equipment has emerged.

Founded in 2021, Recess Pickleball is leading the charge in that realm. The Texas-based brand is known for its paddles and accessories that embrace Americana aesthetics much like premium tennis and golf gear, helping drive the sport’s culture forward. Now, Recess is joining forces with Reebok on a footwear and equipment capsule, marrying a rising brand with an established force that’s dominated court-wear for years.

The collection consists of a Reebok Club C Revenge, Nano Court, and co-branded paddle set, all of which reflect the contemporary sophistication Recess brings to the table. It’s a sensible presentation of past and present-day footwear suitable for both tennis and pickleball, with the Club C introduced in the 1980s and the Nano Court having debuted earlier this year. Both come decorated by military green treatments and sparse flashes of neon, with red co-branding displayed on the tongues.

Recess founders Maggie Brown and Grace Moore reflect on the project: “We are thrilled to partner with Reebok to introduce this exciting new collection of pickleball shoes. The collaboration combines Reebok’s legendary expertise in athletic footwear with Recess Pickleball’s passion for the sport, delivering innovative and well-designed options for pickleball enthusiasts. We can’t wait for our community to experience the perfect blend of performance and aesthetic that these shoes offer.”

The Recess x Reebok pickleball capsule will release globally in unisex sizes on August 7th, 2024 via recesspickleball.com and reebok.com (here). Let product shots of the Club C Revenge ($100), Nano Court ($130), and co-branded paddle set below guide your purchase decision.
