ACCESSORIES

The Kitchen dad hat

This is The Kitchen's classic black dad hat with a white logo. Lightweight breathable fabric and soft structured profile. All of our hats are crafted and custom embroidered by Imperial, the Official Headwear of The Kitchen. 

Nashville Chefs hat

This green structured snapback reps our very own Major League Pickleball team — the Nashville Chefs! It features a white rope with 3D raised embroidery and yellow Chefs logo on the front.

DAPS pickleball shoes

DAPS pickleball shoes are for players who like their footwork fast, their pivots sharp, and their wins stylish. Designed by pickleball people (not repurposed tennis shoes), this low-profile shoe is made to move — quickly, comfortably and with confidence.

-High-durability rubber outsole that’s soft enough to grip but tough enough to last — no hockey-puck soles here.

-Sharp herringbone tread, CNC-cut (not stamped) for max traction — because sharper = grippier. Simple math.

-Real carbon fiber shank for lateral stability, energy return, and featherweight support (no plastic imitations here).

-ETPU midsole for pop, comfort, and bounce that doesn’t quit.

-Blumaka NonSlip insoles, built from recycled performance foam for elite-level comfort and feel.

-Breathable engineered mesh upper to keep your feet cool and locked-in, not swampy.

-Classic style with a modern twist — so you look dialed in whether you’re on the court or grabbing post-game tacos.

PADDLES

JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro IV

JOOLA's latest offering -- the Pro IV line of paddles -- have produced great results for those who have switched at the pro level and in high-level amateur play.

An added section of high-density foam inside the bottom corners/throat area of the Pro IV models allows the paddle to flex more, which adds forgiveness and enhances feel, power and dwell time.

ONIX Hype X Pro

Don't have $280 to spend on dad this year? No sweat.

The Hype X Pro is a great option for players who have graduated from a beginner paddle and are looking for something that can generate higher levels of spin and control. The raw carbon fiber surface provides a natural texture, increasing spin and offering improved and precise shot making. The 14mm thickness combined with ONIX's Thermofused Technology also give this paddle plenty of pop and power for players who want to control the game with offense.
