U.S. Legends Pickleball League (USLPL) announced Skechers as the Official Footwear Sponsor of the USLPL 50+ for its 2026-2027 season.

In season one of the partnership, each player on the winning team for each Showdown Weekend of the USLPL 50+ will receive a pair of Skechers as part of their prize package, in addition to their league prize money and honors. Skechers will be represented on event signage and uniforms, and all players will receive additional Skechers branded swag. This season, the USLPL 50+ is expanding to 16 teams and will play five Showdown Events from September 2026 through January 2027.

“Partnering with a dominant pickleball brand like Skechers is an exciting opportunity for our league and players,” said USLPL Co-founder Mike Cao. “Their shoes are designed for performance, comfort, and speed – exactly what we all need on the court.”

“Adding the USLPL to our list of event and tour sponsorships was an easy decision,” said Liam Jason, Skechers Performance. “Aligning with the USLPL can further demonstrate Skechers as the leading pickleball footwear brand in the U.S. We can’t wait to work together to support these amazing senior pro players.”

The Skechers Pickleball range offers footwear for every type of player with performance-driven styles that focus on speed for dynamic play or control for strong defense, as well as versatile options that will transition from action on the court to post-match hangouts with ease.
