Black Friday 2026 is on 27 November and the shoe brands have not announced anything yet. Pickleball shoes behave differently from paddles at this time of year: the discounts tend to be deeper, because court shoes get replaced on a season cycle and last year’s colourways have to move.
I will add the 2026 deals here as they appear. Below is what was worth buying last Black Friday, with the fit and durability notes from wearing them. Those notes still stand. The prices are from 2025 and are not live offers.
Last Black Friday, I have been looking for the best pickleball shoe deals out there since I wrote my best pickleball shoes for men and best pickleball shoes for women.
Let’s go through the deals.
1. K-Swiss Pickleball Supreme Shoe
The K-Swiss Extreme pickleball shoes honestly surprised me. I had tried the K-Swiss Express Light shoes before , but these felt noticeably better the moment I put them on.
If you’re not looking to spend $135–$155 on the Asics Gel Resolutions, the new K-Swiss Pickleball Supreme shoes are a fantastic alternative. I felt light and quick on the court, and there was no break-in period at all—they were ready to play straight out of the box. The build quality also feels solid enough to last.
Comfort-wise, I’d give them an 8 out of 10. They don’t hug the foot quite as tightly as the Asics Gel Res, but they still wrap nicely without any slipping.
And the grip? Genuinely impressive. Traction and side-to-side stability felt locked in, and moving around the court was effortless.
For durability, it’s still early, but the materials feel sturdy and premium. If your budget is around $100, these are a great pick. The Asics and Skechers models below are also solid, but for the price, the K-Swiss definitely hold their own.
Under $80
Let’s look at the next best on the list.
2. K-Swiss Court Express Pickleball Shoe
The K-Swiss Extreme pickleball shoes really impressed me. I had tried the K-Swiss Express Light shoes before (they’re number nine on my list), but these felt way better.
If you don’t want to spend $135–$155 on the Asics Gel Resolutions, the new K-Swiss Pickleball Supreme shoes are an awesome option. I felt light and quick on the court, and there was no break-in time at all—they felt game-ready right out of the box. The build also feels solid, like they’ll last.
I’d rate the comfort an 8 out of 10. The Asics Gel Res hug your feet a little tighter, but these still fit nicely without slipping.
As for grip, the traction was excellent. Side-to-side movement felt super stable, and I never felt like I was sliding around.

Durability is still too early to call, but the materials feel sturdy and premium.
If you’re trying to stay closer to $100, these are a great choice. The Asics and Skechers options below are also good, but for the price, the K-Swiss shoes hold up really well.
With Black Friday, these shoes are under $55 which is insanely good.
3. Skechers Mens Viper Court Pickleball Shoes
The Skechers Viper pickleball shoes were the last pair I bought, and honestly, I didn’t think anything could really compete with Asics. Turns out, I was wrong.
I picked up the Skechers Men’s Viper Court Smash pickleball shoes, and they’re fantastic. Here’s my full take after playing in them.
Right away, they felt really comfortable. At first they seemed a little baggy, but once I tightened the laces, they fit perfectly.
On the court, the grip was excellent without slowing me down. I play singles, so I need shoes that can handle quick side-to-side movement, and these handled it with no problem. Plus, I didn’t get a single blister the first time out.
As for which shoes will come out on top overall, durability will probably be the deciding factor—so stay tuned for that.
Price-wise, I put these Skechers in the second spot because they’re a bit more expensive than the Asics Gel-Renma, but it’s worth checking the current prices for both.

Let’s look at the Wilson pickleball shoes next.
4. Wilson Pickleball Shoes
The Wilson pickleball shoes are designed specifically for pickleball. They’re shaped to give you a stable, secure fit so you can move confidently on the court.
The collar around the ankle is soft and cushy, and the midsole gives you a nice mix of support and comfort while you’re playing.
They’re built for the side-to-side movement pickleball demands. The midfoot feels stable, and the toe box is a bit wider so your toes have room when you push off in different directions.

5. New Balance FuelCell 996 Pickleball Shoes
Let’s go through just how special these New Balance pickleball shoes. Firstly, the FuelCell foam gives you a springy, energetic feel that helps push you forward with each step.

Next, the NDure upper is built to be extra durable, so the shoes hold up longer. The heel and midfoot design adds better lockdown and stability, keeping your foot secure while you move.
Finally, I know this is a bit wordy, but the NDurance rubber outsole is made to handle high-wear areas, giving the shoes a longer life.
For Black Friday, these pickleball shoes are under under $110 for a discount price of 20%.
Conclusion
Black Friday is a huge event for pickleball paddles, but I have been pleasantly surprised about the high quality of pickleball shoes on sale as well.
The top brands whether it’s K-Swiss, Sketchers, New Balance and Wilson have an amazing deal on pickelball shoes.
