SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, February 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The PB5 Court2 shoe1, an innovative pickleball shoe from the performance brand PB5star, was named the official shoe of the inaugural Celebrity Pickleball Bash presented by DoorDash, a sensational two-day event that brought together pickleball enthusiasts and celebrities alike. The event was held on February 15-16, 2025, at San Francisco’s Warfield Theatre, at the same time as the All-Star NBA epic event and the U.S. Chinese New Year Parade, marking San Francisco as the heart of a $350 million economic boost over the weekend.
PB5star took the stage as an official sponsor, emphasizing the intersection of pickleball competition and entertainment. To mark the occasion, participants were gifted PB5star accessories and a pair of the newly launched PB5 Aprés Sport Slides2, light-weight recovery slides engineered with a deep heel-cup that works in tandem with arch support, met-dome and toeBar to ensure feet get 5-star treatment.
The Bash is being initially aired on PBTV3 on the following dates:

Thursday 2/27: 4:30 pm EST
Saturday 3/1: 5:00 am EST, 2:00 pm EST

One of the event's highlights was the participation of Adriana Tomazelli, a PB5star-sponsored pro pickleball player. A force on the court, Tomazelli joined in clinics, mingled with fans, and embodied the spirit of pickleball's growing community.
