Gladiator Padel

The brand · Since 2023

We were born on the court, not in an office.

Gladiator Padel is what happens when two players decide to make the kit they'd always been looking for. This is the story, told the way we understand it best: point by point.

The first point

Before the brand, there was the court.

Before we were Gladiator Padel, we were Toni and Joan: two friends who booked a court whenever they could and kept the match going until the club switched the lights off.

We played to win, sure. But mostly because padel is the thing that clears your head, brings you together with your people and leaves you wanting the next match.

Padel wasn't a plan. It was the plan.

Just what we needed

Everything we were missing, up on the whiteboard.

The grip that slipped as soon as the heat kicked in. The overgrip that lasted two matches. Generic accessories you bought because there was nothing else.

So we did what we'd do before a big match: sit down, write it all down and decide how to play it. The racket, the grip, the score counter, the cover. Every idea, on the whiteboard.

If your grip fails, your shot fails.

Designed by hand

Every detail, pencilled in first.

In 2023 we started with the smallest, most overlooked things: grip, overgrips, lanyard, anti-slip spray and chalk. Kit designed for what really happens in a match.

Players responded with more than 1,100 ratings on Amazon. With that confidence we took on the big one: the Gladiator Attack and Control rackets, and the packs in a Gladiator box.

Small things first. Then the racket.

Really made

From the whiteboard to the mould. From the mould to your court.

You don't improvise a racket. Carbon, a responsive core and a mould that gives it its shape: each one is laminated and checked by hand before it gets our name on it.

And when it's ready it reaches you with no middlemen: we pack it in Sallent (Barcelona), it ships with CTT Express and, if you're not happy with it, you have 14 days to return it.

Turn the court into your arena.

Who's behind it

Two players. One brand.

We're not a multinational and we don't want to look like one. We're the ones who choose every product and the ones on the other end when you write to us.

Toni

Product and brand

“If I wouldn't use it in my Thursday match, it doesn't go in the catalogue.”

He decides what gets made and how it's told: every product page, every photo and every detail of the website goes through him.

Joan

Operations and customers

«Getting your order out on time is winning a point too.»

He makes sure everything works after you buy: the warehouse, the shipping and looking after every customer.
