DALLAS, TX – There’s a new brand entering the pickleball court shoe market and I couldn’t be more curious about it.

The island-inspired footwear line, OluKai, added a pickleball court shoe to their already extensive line of footwear. 

OluKai is best known for their comfortable flip flops, sandals, and lifestyle shoes. However, they recently added this new item to their sports collection that previously only featured golf shoes. 

The ‘Anau pickleball shoes come in men’s and women’s sizes, and several different gorgeous colors. I’m partial to that pretty mint green and white shoe. 

The shoes are very easy on the eyes - and they not only look good on the court, you can also take them off the court and still look stylish. 

Priced at $140, these shoes also come with a one-year warranty. 

Based on the OluKai’s laid back, island-living vibe, I can see why they entered the pickleball space. As competitive and hardcore as pickleball can get, it can also be a leisure sport that just about anyone can play.

Rec pickleball can be as fun and easy-going as players want. Personally, that’s the kind of game style I prefer, which certainly aligns with OluKai’s overall brand. 

So far, the reviews are positive and the shoe fits true to size. And if we’re going off looks alone, these shoes hold nothing but promise.

Pickleball pro and influencer, Hannah Blatt, already works with them, so if they’re approved by her, they’re approved by me, too.

I need to get my hands on a pair of these and try them out ASAP.
