Chicago Slice Steps Up Game with SQAIRZ: SQAIRZ, a top sports shoe company, has become the Official Shoe of the Chicago Slice, one of Major League Pickleball’s best teams. The partnership begins as the team gets ready for the MLP Midseason Tournament, where players will wear the SQAIRZ XRZ™ pickleball shoes.
Built for Comfort and Performance
The XRZ™ is called the first true performance shoe made for pickleball. It was developed with pro players to improve balance, grip, and strength on the court.
Robert Winskowicz, Founder and CEO of SQAIRZ, shared why this partnership matters.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Chicago Slice, a team that shares our obsession with performance and precision. Their roster is stacked with athletes who rely on explosive footwork and lateral stability to win matches — and that’s exactly what our shoes deliver.”(Robert Winskowicz)
The shoes have a wide toe box to help toes move naturally and avoid pain during long games. They also have a strong upper and Smart Traction™ outsole to prevent damage from daily play.
Players Helping Create the Next Shoe
As part of this deal, Chicago Slice players will give feedback on new shoe designs, test materials, and help shape the future of SQAIRZ footwear.
“Right out of the box, I could tell. The comfort was there. The toe box gave me space to move naturally. I wasn’t thinking about my feet. And that’s the best sign.”(Carlos Di Laura)
This partnership highlights SQAIRZ’s focus on player safety, comfort, and long-lasting quality.
Big Names Join the SQAIRZ Team
Other top pickleball athletes are already wearing SQAIRZ shoes. Zane Navratil is known for his fast play and strategy. Ava Ignatowich is an up-and-coming star, and Trang Huynh recently defeated world number one Anna Leigh Waters.
