Dink Dynasty Apparel was born from a simple idea: pickleball players deserve apparel that is fun, creative and unique. Our founder, Katesha Washington, is a retired Marine who brought the same discipline, grit, and team spirit from her years of service to the court. She picked up her first paddle just over a year ago and fell in love with the game almost immediately. The game’s energy, community, and competitive fun made it a natural fit, and she quickly noticed a gap in the market for apparel that reflects the personality of the people who play.
Off the court, Katesha is happiest on the move: hiking new trails, taking long walks on the beach (literally, with sand between her toes), and experiencing the next great restaurant. She loves cooking at home and spending time with her two dogs, who are her most loyal fans. That love of an active, flavorful, full life is stitched into everything we make. Whether you’re a beginner learning to dink or a seasoned player ready to build your own dynasty, Dink Dynasty Apparel is here to help you play with confidence and style.
