Pickleball Court Shoes

Gabe Tardio


Gabe Tardio is the most dominant force in men's doubles pickleball in 2026. Paired with Ben Johns, he has gone undefeated on the PPA Tour this season — taking gold in Sacramento, Vietnam, and every stop in between. A Godfather Pickleball athlete and the face of the first signature shoe in professional pickleball history, the Stria G1 Pro, Tardio brings elite athleticism, creative shot-making, and a competitive edge that separates him from the field. His around-the-post at Sacramento alone is worth the price of admission. The family is proud to have him. The tour is on notice.

Gabe's Favorite Gear


"The G1 Pros changed how I move on the court. I've worn a lot of shoes, but nothing has given me the lateral support and court feel I need at this level. When you're playing as many tournaments as I am, your footwear isn't an accessory — it's part of your game."
