COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – March 10, 2026 — Selkirk Sport , the leading manufacturer of high-performance pickleball equipment, today announced the launch of the Legacy Pro and Legacy Classic, a new footwear line designed to bridge the gap between technical on-court performance and off-court lifestyle.
The launch addresses a growing shift in consumer behavior. Recent research indicates that personal hobbies and activity engagement purchases now significantly influence footwear choices, as consumers increasingly seek products that reflect their identity both during and after their participation in a sport.
“The Selkirk Legacy line was created for a new generation of players who demand uncompromised performance on the court but refuse to sacrifice style off it,” said Rob Barnes, co-founder and co-CEO of Selkirk Sport. “We’ve engineered a shoe that handles the unique lateral stresses of pickleball while maintaining a clean, vintage-inspired aesthetic suitable for any setting.”
Technical precision for the court
Pickleball requires rapid lateral movements, frequent pivots and abrupt stops. To meet these demands, both models in the Legacy line feature:
- InfiniGrip™ Outsole: A proprietary cast polyurethane system that is up to 40% more abrasion-resistant than traditional rubber.
- EVA PureFoam™ Midsole: Tuned for explosive energy return and shock absorption.
- Ergonomic Heel Cockpit: A sculpted rear-foot design to stabilize the foot during high-intensity braking.
Two Distinct Models
- Legacy Pro: Engineered for the competitive athlete, featuring a high-abrasion translucent mesh upper for maximum ventilation and supportive overlays for tunable lockdown.
- Legacy Classic: A limited-edition release with a minimalist, microfiber upper. It offers a "court-to-café" versatility designed for players shifting from established athletic brands toward authentic, pickleball-specific gear.
All Legacy footwear is backed by Selkirk Sport’s six-month outsole warranty. The Legacy Pro retails for $158, while the Legacy Classic costs $138. Both models are available now on Selkirk.com and at select retailers nationwide.
