Montis x Friday Pickleball Shoes

Summary

The Montis x Friday is a limited-edition collaboration that brings Friday’s design sensibility together with the performance of the Montis Drop 1.0. It is offered in Sunset and Snow colourways. The bright tones and modern styling stand out on court, while the underlying shoe provides flexible movement and protection for the feet.

Design and technology

The outsole is high-density rubber made for durability and wear resistance, so you can move freely without worrying about sole wear. Toe support reinforces the load points so you can make quick, precise movements without fatigue. A reinforced heel strengthens lateral movement and gives better stability and control in fast side steps. The toe box has an impact-resistant design that protects the forefoot from hard contact. The upper is breathable mesh with a durable 3D structure that maintains airflow, keeping feet dry and comfortable even in long matches. A sock-like inner liner contributes comfort, stability and a fast, responsive feel, so you notice the support in each step.

On court

The shoe feels close and secure on the foot. The reinforced heel and toe give a protected feeling in lateral moves, and the 3D mesh stays breathable. The limited-edition colour blends, Sunset and Snow, give a fresh and energetic appearance.

Who it is for

Care and buying tips

Half a size up from your usual size is recommended, and widths up to 2E are accommodated. Clean the upper gently and avoid heat.

Fit, sizing and buying advice

As a collaboration built on the Drop 1.0, this shoe fits like its sibling: close, sock-like and secure. Go up half a size from your usual size, and know that widths up to 2E are accommodated. Try it with your usual socks, check that your toes have room during a lunge and make sure the heel stays planted. The Sunset and Snow colourways are limited, so if you like one, it is sensible to order sooner rather than later.

Care is simple: brush the 3D mesh after play, wipe the outsole and let the shoes dry away from heat. The light Snow colourway will show court dust and scuffs more easily than darker shoes, so wipe it down regularly. If you play often, consider keeping this pair for matches and using a second pair for practice, which helps the high-density outsole last longer.
