Lacoste unveils its debut padel collection

Lacoste introduces today its first complete lineup entirely dedicated to padel. The collection includes two rackets, a bag, shoes, and a range of apparel designed to support players at every moment of the game.

Crafted for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike, the two rackets embody a simple philosophy: while sport brings people together, style creates the connection.

Lacoste has always celebrated sport as a space for self-expression, connection, and sharing, where the joy and elegance of the game matter just as much as performance. It is in this exact spirit that the French brand now makes its grand entrance into the world of padel!

Two rackets engineered by Tecnifibre

At the heart of this new lineup are Lacoste’s first two padel rackets, designed by Tecnifibre — a recognized specialist known for its technical expertise in manufacturing high-performance rackets. This partnership seamlessly blends Tecnifibre’s cutting-edge innovation, honed over decades of supporting elite athletes, with Lacoste’s distinctive vision of sport and design.

From this collaboration comes a range created to deliver power, precision, and comfort, built around two models:

L.MAX: Designed for regular players, the L.MAX features X-Speed technology, which optimizes aerodynamics through specially engineered hole patterns that maximize airflow. This innovation accelerates swing speed while improving ball control. It also incorporates X-Top technology for superior impact resistance, and Spin Skin 3D, a textured surface that grips the ball for maximum spin.

L.SOFT: Lighter and tailored for beginners or improving players, the L.SOFT combines X-Top and Spin Skin 3D technologies to offer effortless handling and exceptional comfort, supporting players as they elevate their game.

A complete collection combining performance and style

Alongside these two rackets, Lacoste is introducing a complete padel wardrobe. Footwear, technical apparel, and a premium bag have been meticulously designed to form a cohesive, high-performance set. Crafted from advanced materials that prioritize breathability, freedom of movement, and comfort, each piece effortlessly transitions with players before, during and after the game.

A new expression of the Lacoste heritage

From René Lacoste to the world’s most prestigious international competitions, Lacoste has supported athletes who push the boundaries of their sport for nearly a century – never losing sight of what makes the game beautiful: the perfect gesture, the elegance of movement, and the pure joy of being on court.

Padel fits naturally into this heritage. As one of the fastest-growing sports, it is also one of the most social of its generation. Played in pairs, it brings together colleagues, families, and friends. Clubs become social hubs, matches become regular gatherings, and communities form both on and off the court.

This collective spirit resonates deeply with Lacoste’s DNA. More than a new sporting category, padel represents a fresh expression of the very values that have driven the brand since its inception.

The two new Lacoste padel rackets and the entire collection is now available, through the Lacoste retail network in Europe, South America, and North America, as well as on www.lacoste.com
