As a pioneer in the barefoot shoe movement, Xero Shoes designs footwear that helps people move naturally, efficiently, and with confidence. Now, the brand brings that philosophy to the court with the 360 Rally — a court sport sneaker built for competitive pickleball, tennis and padel players who rely on quick reactions, long rallies, and trusted movement point after point.

Designed for intensity without restriction, the 360 Rally lets feet move freely. By supporting natural movement, the shoe helps athletes stay loose, responsive, and ready to play their hardest — without overthinking mechanics or gear.

Inspired by Xero Shoes’ X1 basketball shoe and 360 training shoe, the 360 Rally blends court-ready durability with lightweight agility. A revised outsole with supportive sidewall wings provides stability through cuts and pivots, while a flexible, low-profile design keeps players connected to the court during fast exchanges and quick recoveries.

“We designed the 360 Rally to be Minimal to the Max – everything you need for maximum performance, comfort, and protection – none of what you don’t,” says John Wadley, VP of Product Development. “Like all of Xero Shoes’ performance footwear, this shoe provides ample structure and protection but avoids over-engineering.”

Built to transition seamlessly from training to match play, the 360 Rally helps athletes build confidence in their footwork from drill to rally.

Key Features of the 360 Rally

• Ultralight, abrasion-resistant engineered mesh with breathable zonal support
• Tensioning webbing system with gusseted tongue for a secure, locked-in fit
• Big toe overlay for added durability during aggressive play
• Flexible heel lockdown for stability through quick movements and recoveries
• Grippy outsole with omnidirectional tread for traction in every direction
• Lightweight design at just 7.8oz (W7) and 9oz (M9), each shoe

The 360 Rally is built on Xero Shoes’ barefoot fundamentals, including a zero-drop, thin and flexible sole (9.5mm stack height) for enhanced ground feedback and a wide toe box that allows toes to splay naturally. The result is efficient, connected movement that helps athletes stay strong and responsive to play longer.

The 360 Rally is available on January 13, 2026.
