Nike is the documented answer

Sponsor history

Why older photos show a different brand

Fila apparel era

Waters was closely associated with Fila apparel and footwear before her 2026 sponsor change. Older photos and product references may therefore show Fila rather than her current Nike kit.

Nike partnership begins

Nike became Waters’ official apparel and footwear partner in a long-term agreement, marking the brand’s first athlete deal in professional pickleball.

Exact-item tracking

Good Day Pickleball will treat each dress, top, skirt, hat or shoe as an exact match only when a credible source or product record identifies it.

Anna Leigh-inspired court style

Build a complete court look

The useful idea is the overall court kit—not chasing every outfit from every tournament. These five categories create the same polished, performance-first direction while leaving room for personal fit, color and budget.

01Court outfits

Dresses, skirts and matching sets

Start with lightweight tennis or pickleball pieces that allow full movement. A coordinated dress or fitted top-and-skirt set captures the polished tournament look without requiring an exact match.

02Sun protection

UPF layers and court sunscreen

For long outdoor sessions, add broad-spectrum, sweat-resistant sunscreen and consider lightweight UPF sleeves or layers that do not restrict the swing.

03Headwear

Visors, caps and sweat control

A breathable visor or cap helps manage glare and sweat. Look for an adjustable fit, quick-drying fabric and a brim that stays secure during fast movement.

04Footwear

Court shoes built for lateral movement

Choose court-specific shoes for side-to-side stability, grip and durability. Fit and support matter more than copying one tournament colorway.

05Eyewear

Performance glasses for changing light

Sport eyewear can add impact protection and contrast in bright or shifting conditions. Frame fit and the right lens for the environment should guide the choice.
