tailored for enhanced protection and support</em></p> <p><strong>SALT LAKE CITY (March 30, 2023) </strong>– The Carvana Professional Pickleball Association (PPA Tour) today announced THORLO® as the Official Sock of the PPA Tour. The partnership debuted at the start of 2023 and showcases the two entities’ dedicated commitment to players’ feet health through high-caliber engineering that is meant to make your feet feel unstoppable.</p> <p>Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, with millions of players of all ages enjoying the game’s fun and competitive nature. However, as with any sport, pickleball can occasionally put a strain on the feet. THORLO® has engineered activity-specific socks by studying the movement of the foot while a person is playing pickleball and implementing additional padding above and below the toe to keep the foot more comfortable for fast and lateral movements.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> <p>“We are thrilled that THORLO® will be partnering with the PPA Tour and value the opportunity to connect with the pickleball community,” said <strong>Marty Lieberman, President of THORLO®’s parent company, Lamour, Inc.</strong> “THORLO has been successfully producing socks for over 40 years in sports like golf and tennis, so we feel confident that we can bring the same benefits to the sport of pickleball.”</p> </blockquote> <p>The partnership entails a one-year agreement naming THORLO® a platinum sponsor for all PPA Tour tournaments, as well as the presenting sponsor at the Las Vegas Championships on October 5-8, 2023. THORLO® will provide tournament attendees with access to high-quality socks and will be activating on-site at tournaments all year long with fun giveaways where fans can win gift cards and gear. </p> <p>As part of its commitment to the PPA Tour, Thorlo also announced partnerships with four of the PPA’s top professional players: <strong>Anna Bright, Alex Neumann, Federico Staksrud,</strong> and <strong>Zane Navratil.</strong> These four players are set to showcase Thorlo socks on court at each Tour stop in 2023.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> <p>“We’re proud to partner with THORLO® to support our athletes with specifically-engineered pickleball socks,” said <strong>Connor Pardoe, CEO of the PPA Tour</strong>. “As the premier provider of professional and amateur events, upgrading performance and experience is always a priority, and THORLO® helps us to do that.”</p> </blockquote> <p>For more information on THORLO® and its products, please visit the company’s website at <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://www.thorlo.com/&data=05%257C01%257CNick.Sobel@zenoseconsulting.com%257Cef3d0f680d934eeb08cf08db2b2969b0%257Cb824bfb3918e43c2bb1cdcc1ba40a82b%257C0%257C0%257C638151229099135426%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0=%257C3000%257C%257C%257C&sdata=lzCjhk6O66kP/qxAPTcHog1L/uMmAsTmxsVhFH5LoxA=&reserved=0">www.thorlo.com</a>.
