Adidas has officially unveiled its 2026 padel collection, one of the brand’s most ambitious ventures to date. The new lineup includes 28 completely revamped models of rackets and bags, introducing technologies never before seen in its catalog. The international campaign reaffirms Adidas’ leading role in the growth and professionalization of padel worldwide.
Ale Galán leads the campaign
The launch is accompanied by a powerful communication campaign fronted by Ale Galán, the brand’s flagship player. His presence embodies the values of power, performance, evolution, and competitiveness that define the collection. Galán debuted the Metalbone 2026 at the Mexico Major in Acapulco, becoming the central figure of the audiovisual campaign rolled out across Adidas’ global channels.
The Metalbone 2026 is designed for players seeking maximum power. It features the Weight & Balance Metalbone system, allowing customization of weight and balance, and a new sliding string system that improves grip and wrist ergonomics. Its Diamond shape, long grip, 16K aluminized carbon composition, and Low Poly structure enhance rigidity and impact, delivering outstanding offensive performance.
Martita Ortega debuts the Cross It Light 2026
The collection also emphasizes women’s competition with the Cross It Light 2026, the racket chosen by Martita Ortega for the upcoming season. Built for agility, lightness, and control without sacrificing power, it incorporates Dynamic Air Flow technology to reduce air resistance and increase mobility.
The model’s round shape and extended grip provide precision in all game situations. EVA Soft Energy rubber ensures greater ball output, while 24K aluminized carbon and Spin Blade Mold technology improve rigidity, durability, and spin generation. Ortega’s racket combines elegance with technical innovation, reflecting her distinctive style on the court.
Arrow_Hit introduces groundbreaking innovation
The standout innovation of the 2026 collection is the Arrow_Hit family, representing a leap forward in precision and customization. This range introduces two new technologies:
-
IBS – Intelligent Balance System: Adjustable weights located on the edge of the racket allow players to fine-tune balance according to their preferences.
-
ASC – Adidas Signature Carbon: A unique carbon fiber patterned with Adidas logos across the surface, enhancing reactivity and response while offering a distinctive aesthetic.
These features make Arrow_Hit one of the most advanced technological offerings in the collection.
