Pickleball took the spotlight at Super Bowl LIX weekend in New Orleans—and our very own brand ambassador, Tara Bernstein, was right at the heart of it.
Tara hosted the Franklin x NFL Pickleball Experience, an energetic, high-profile activation that brought pro athletes, celebrities, and fans together through the fast-growing sport. Her latest YouTube vlog, "What REALLY Happens at the Super Bowl?! | 2025 Vlog New Orleans", gives an inside look at everything that went down—from the events she led to the unforgettable connections made on and off the court.
And powering her through it all? Her custom made+ bangr pickleball shoes—engineered to deliver all-day support, breathable comfort, and the style that matches her nonstop hustle. Designed for performance and built sustainably, Tara’s made+ pickleball shoes helped her go from hosting tournaments to walking the Super Bowl red carpet without skipping a beat.
“February was a whirlwind,” Tara shared on LinkedIn. “Nonstop travel, hosting events, and creating content—exhausting, but when you love what you do, you keep going… One of my favorite parts? Bringing pickleball across the world and blending it with my love for food and hospitality—creating experiences that bring people together.”
We couldn’t be more proud to support Tara as she champions the sport on the biggest stages. Her drive, creativity, and passion for pickleball perfectly reflect what made+ stands for—movement, energy, and purpose.
Whether you’re playing on center court or just getting your first few games in, made+ is built to support every step of your pickleball journey.
