What's New on the CourtStrike 2.0?

Selkirk’s CourtStrike shoe was uniquely designed for pickleball — every drop step, shuffle step, and split-step.

The CourtStrike 2.0 takes the features found on the first model, and dials them up a bit:

Better rubber: The upgraded abrasion-resistant rubber is tougher and more durable, lasting longer and withstanding intense games
Extra wear-resistant protection: New added protective material around the bottom shoelace area better prevents wear and tear
Upgraded foam insole: The insole is now softer, bouncier, and lighter for better comfort during all-day play
New colors: The 2.0 introduces striking new colorways for both men and women

These upgrades put the CourtStrike 2.0 firmly in conversation with the best pickleball shoes of 2025 across every category that matters to serious players.

My On-Court Experience

Selkirk sent me a pair of the CourtStrike 2.0 Pros to try for myself for the past couple weeks.

Here are my takeaways after a few sessions:

They are comfortable and responsive right out of the box
The new rubber is a noticeable upgrade – just bouncy enough to feel plush, but dense enough to really grab the court
The toebox is roomy without overdoing it; the heel-cup locks your foot in place
The insole does feel premium

Above all, these shoes feel like they're built to last. And both models come with a Six Month Sole Warranty:

Our pickleball shoes are built to last using abrasion- resistant rubber, ensuring consistent traction and control for the toughest matches. The best part? Each pair comes with a 6-month sole warranty — that’s how confident we are in its durability.
