The Diadem Court Burst is a fast, lightweight pickleball and tennis shoe, and we like it a lot.
It is $149.95, or $134.96 with code PRH (10% off) through our Diadem link. It has a 360° stretch knit upper, a Max Shield toe guard, Diadem's Rebound X and Pro Stance X support for lateral moves, a cushioned EVA midsole and a non-marking rubber outsole for indoor and outdoor courts. It comes in ten colors, with a Wide (2E) option in White and Navy/White.
The Verdict
$149.95 to $134.96 with PRH. A light, locked-in court shoe we keep reaching for.
The Court Burst is the court shoe we like most right now: light on the feet, locked in through hard cuts and comfortable deep into a long session.
Buy the Court Burst if you play an active game and want a shoe that feels quick and stays stable when you cut, stop and split step. At $134.96 with PRH it is one of our favorite court shoes.
Why we like it
Pickleball is short, sharp movement: split steps, quick shuffles and hard stops at the kitchen line. The Court Burst is built for exactly that. It feels light and fast, the knit upper holds the foot without squeezing, and the shoe stays stable when you change direction. It is the pair we keep grabbing for our own sessions.
Built for indoor and outdoor courts
The high-abrasion rubber outsole is non-marking, so the Court Burst works in gyms as well as on outdoor hard courts, with tougher tread in the high-wear zones. The Max Shield toe guard protects the front of the shoe on toe drags and lunges.
Sizing and colors
Sizing is unisex and listed in both men's and women's sizes, from M 3.5 / W 5.0 up to M 14 / W 15.5. Pick from ten colors. If you need extra room, the Wide (2E) comes in White and Navy/White.

PRH is 10% off at Diadem, so $149.95 becomes $134.96. Open Diadem with our shop button, choose your color and size, and paste PRH at checkout.
On-court use
The knit upper wraps the foot snugly without pressure points, so the shoe feels light and quick from the first game. It stays planted on hard stops and side-to-side moves at the kitchen line, and the cushioning keeps legs fresher through back-to-back games.
