Features

Built for pickleball

Midsole THERMOPLATE provides the lateral quickness and energy return you need to dominate

Materials & Care

CARBON RUBBER (Outsole): Maximizes durability and grip with textured micro-sanding.

PHYLON FOAM (Midsole): Provides both cushioning and responsive energy return.

ENGINEERED KNIT (Upper): Lightweight, breathable, and adapts comfortably to foot movement.

TOE CAP: Shields against toe drag and wear with flexible protection.

TEXTURED INSOLE: Offers long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and shock absorption

Size & Fit

We recommend going a half size up if you like a roomier toe box. If you like a more secure fit, you can opt for your normal size.

About The Brand

Dink Sports build for one game. The Bainbridge 1 is their first shoe and everything in it answers a pickleball problem: a full-length THERMOPLATE for the lateral push off the kitchen line, a TORSIONLOCK heel cup for the ankle when you change direction, a toe cap for the drag that kills ordinary trainers, and carbon rubber for courts that chew through soft outsoles. At Mountain Sports we like them because they are honest about what they are — a court shoe, not a runner asked to moonlight.
