Lacoste is stepping onto the padel court for the first time, nearly 90 years after René Lacoste changed the shape of tennis apparel. The brand's debut padel collection spans two rackets, a pair of trainers, a bag and a full apparel line, all carrying the familiar crocodile
The L.MAX racket leads the range at €350, aimed at experienced players with X-Speed perforations for aerodynamics, X-Top impact protection and a Spin Skin 3D texture. A lighter L.SOFT model, at €250, offers a bigger sweet spot for beginners and intermediate players. Both rackets were developed in partnership with Tecnifibre, a manufacturer with decades of experience building racket-sports equipment. The lineup rounds out with AGLT Ultra trainers (€150), an L-Padel bag (€150), and technical t-shirts, shorts and socks
The full collection launches on 24 September 2026, available through lacoste.com and Lacoste stores across Europe
