Supporting grassroots, tournaments, and champions

Manila, Philippines – The Philippine Pickleball Federation (PPF) proudly announces its partnership with Skechers, the global comfort technology brand, as the official footwear sponsor for 2025. This collaboration marks a major milestone in PPF’s mission to grow pickleball throughout the country — from grassroots efforts to high-level competition — by aligning with a brand like Skechers Philippines that champions performance, inclusivity, and movement for all.

“We at PPF have always put a high value in the sport of pickleball by making it accessible, healthily competitive, and fueled by the community’s passion,” says Mike Johnson, PPF Founder. “As we partner with Skechers, we are optimistic that pickleball players both seasoned and new are up for a whole new level of experience with footwear that supports athletic performance and comfort on the court.”

Kicking off the partnership is the much-anticipated 1st Philippine Pickleball National Championship 2025, co-presented by Skechers Pickleball, happening from May 30 to June 1 at Dink & Shot, Marikina City. Open to players from across the country, the tournament will showcase the growing talent and passion for pickleball in the Philippines.

Skechers, renowned for its innovative sport-performance lines, including Skechers Pickleball shoes, joins our Federation in its mission to support athletes at all levels — from beginners to seasoned competitors. The brand is set to further expand its pickleball footwear lineup in the Philippines this July with the introduction of the Skechers Viper Court Rally™, which offers comfort with its mesh and leather upper with a lightweight Move Foam™ insole.

For elite level performance, the updated Skechers Viper Court Pro 2.0 features new colorways, a redesigned upper with innovative mesh technology for increased durability, advanced support with its Arch Fit® EVA insole, and responsive ULTRA GO® Foam midsole.

Both shoe styles include Goodyear® Gold compound outsoles for controlled slides on the pickleball court. These innovative products showcase Skechers' continued dedication to pickleball. Tried and tested by pros, with award-winning styles, and the official footwear of major leagues worldwide, Skechers has been a trusted name in the sport.
