Built For The Short Court
The first of its kind pickleball sneaker designed with advanced technology for peak performance. Unleash your true potential on the court with increased agility, comfort, and support. Experience the game like never before with DAPS.
FULLY FEATURED
Purpose Built
DESI isn’t a recycled tennis shoe with a new name. It’s engineered from the sole up for pickleball—designed by players who actually play. Every cut, pivot, and slam gets the traction it deserves.
All-Day Performance
From first serve to final point, DESI keeps your feet fresh and your game sharp. With Blumaka NonSlip insoles, ETPU cushioning, and carbon fiber support, you’ll move better—and last longer.
Style That Slaps
DESI’s clean lines and low-key swagger mean you don’t have to trade looks for performance. Built to dominate on the court...as well as in the club.
DAPS vs. THE OTHER GUYS
When it comes to performance, the other guys don’t even come close. DAPS wasn’t Frankensteined from tennis leftovers—we built it for pickleball, period. Lab-tested at Heeluxe and loaded with Blumaka NonSlip insoles, DESI delivers higher energy return, superior shock absorption, and a locked-in fit that actually supports quick cuts and lateral bursts. Add in a carbon shank for stability and a silhouette that doesn’t scream “gym only,” and you’ve got a shoe that shows up where the others fall flat. More comfort, more control, more wins—DAPS plays harder, longer, and better. Every time.

Let customers speak for us
I love love them. I move well in them. I don’t have after affect pain after I play.
Great fit for me. Lots of solid under foot support
Nice fit, light, very comfortable. So much lighter than my New Balance shoes. Too soon to know about durability. Bonus. Able to wear comfortably without my arch inserts. Senior player.
Amazing shoes! Support is exceptional.
I’ve been playing pickleball for a few years now and have mostly worn K-Swiss and Nike court shoes. Nikes aren’t wide enough in the toe box. K-Swiss are but they’re owned by a large corporation in China (I care about who I give my money to) and most of their models are made for tennis. I’m so happy that I discovered DAPS after much research. They’re comfy right out of the box, feel great and supportive while playing, are made out of partially recycled content (hopefully a higher percentage in the future), and the company is based in the US and has been in the shoe business for decades. And they’re designed specifically for pickleball! Great job DAPS! I’m telling alllll of my PB buddies!
They look great and feel very comfortable.Highly recommended!!
The shoes are both extremely comfortable and very stylish. I highly recommend!!
Hands down the best shoe in pickleball! Worth every penny. Hightop or mid top can’t go wrong.
These shoes are outstanding. I’ve worn K-Swiss prior, and the difference here is immediate and undeniable. From the first step, they hug and contour to your feet, providing a stable, locked-in feel with exceptional support. My agility has noticeably improve, I can stop on a dime without sliding, almost like the precision of driving an EV.
They do take a couple of sessions to fully break in, but with each wear they feel better and better. Transitioning from a low to mid-top required a little adjustment, but it’s absolutely worth it for the added stability.
For serious players, or anyone who truly values performance and functionality, I can’t recommend these enough. On top of that, the customer service has been excellent, which makes the experience even better!
Right out of the box, these performed above expectation. They add traction, stability and confidence. They are very comfortable and are a true pickleball shoe. Love them!
I wore my new pickleball shoes last night. I could tell immediately they were lighter and more breathable than my New Balance or Adidas court shoes. I normally wear a size 10 1/2, but they were too short and tight. I exchanged them for a size 11. They are a great fit. Since I had pre-paid the $2.98 exchange fee, the exchange process was easy.
Best pickleball shoe! Not only are DAPS cool looking they more importantly are very high quality. I have narrow feet and ended up ordering my true size. At first they seemed a bit constricting in the toe bed, but once I played in them they felt perfect. I love the higher ankle for increased stability. My heels were hurting in my former brand of pickleball shoe, but my heels (and entire feet) have been pain free since wearing my DAPS. I highly recommend trying DAPS—they’ve been game changer for me!
Love them! Super cool look and feel
