Built for the Short Court
Our Story
We’re shoe guys. Fourth-generation…who love pickleball. And when we saw big brands slapping “pickleball” on tennis shoes and calling it innovation—we called BS.
Pickleball is a different sport. It moves different, feels different, plays different. So the shoes should be different too. We didn’t pull ideas from golf shoes or racing cars. We went straight to the source: real pickleball players. We played. We watched. We listened. Then we built the shoe ourselves.
We took our time to get it right—not to be the first, but to be the best. Every stitch, every material, every millimeter of this shoe was made for the way you actually play.
And that’s how the DAPS DESI was born.
We didn’t follow the blueprint. We tore it up and started from the baseline.
THE DAPS DIFFERENCE
We didn’t just build a shoe. We built a legal performance enhancer.
The DAPS DESI is the most dynamic, high-performance pickleball shoe on the planet—and yeah, we can back that up with real science and real lab tests.
