About the Brand

Founded by a team of avid players and sports enthusiasts, Aireo was born out of a shared desire to elevate the game and empower players of all levels to reach their full potential.

At Aireo, we are more than just a pickleball brand—we are a movement dedicated to innovation, performance, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Built by players, for players, Aireo was founded with a singular mission: to elevate the game by crafting high-performance pickleball gear that empowers athletes at every level.

Our journey began with a deep love for the sport and a frustration with the limitations of existing equipment. We saw an opportunity to create something better—paddles that don’t just meet expectations but redefine them. With a team of engineers, designers, and professional players, we set out to develop cutting-edge equipment that offers the perfect blend of power, control, and durability. Every Aireo product is the result of extensive research, rigorous testing, and a passion for delivering the best possible playing experience.

But Aireo is more than just technology and design—it’s a mindset. It’s about pushing boundaries, embracing challenges, and striving for greatness on and off the court. Whether you’re just picking up a paddle or competing at the highest level, Aireo is here to support your journey with premium gear that fuels your passion and enhances your performance.

Founded by Matthias Kling & Scarlett Chen

"At Aireo, we set out to create more than just paddles—we're redefining the way the game is played. Every detail, every material, and every design choice is made with one goal in mind: to help players perform at their best. Pickleball is more than a sport; it’s a passion, and Aireo is here to fuel that passion.”

- Matthias Kling, Co-Founder of Aireo Sports

Aireo was born from a simple yet ambitious vision: to revolutionize the game of pickleball with gear that blends innovation, performance, and style. As passionate players ourselves, we experienced firsthand the frustration of using equipment that fell short—paddles that lacked precision, materials that wore out too soon, and designs that didn’t inspire confidence on the court. We knew there had to be a better way.

Determined to bridge this gap, our team of athletes, engineers, and designers set out on a journey to create something truly exceptional. We spent countless hours testing materials, refining our designs, and pushing the limits of paddle technology. The result? Aireo—a brand that embodies precision, durability, and the spirit of the sport.

More than just equipment, Aireo represents a movement. We are here to empower players at every level, from weekend enthusiasts to competitive athletes, giving them the tools they need to elevate their game. Whether you're stepping onto the court for the first time or competing at the highest level, Aireo is your partner in performance.
