A couple of years ago, after reading all the hype about how pickleball is America’s fastest-growing sport (159 percent growth over three years according to the 2023 Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s Participation Report), I decided to trade in my old tennis racket and pick up a paddle instead. Honestly, I haven’t looked back. Pickleball is easy to learn yet challenging, low impact on the knees, and the smaller court with doubles play encourages social interaction with a healthy dose of competition.
Once I started playing consistently, I realized that, like any sport, having the right gear, including footwear, not only enhances your performance but also helps prevent injury. That’s why the Reebok X Recess Nano court shoes caught my eye when it launched in early August.
