When Reebok decides to enter a sport, it tends to mean something. The brand has been around for nearly 70 years, built its reputation on running, fitness culture, and street-meets-court crossover. It does not typically launch padel collections unless padel has become significant enough to warrant the effort. That moment has arrived.

On 16 March 2026, Reebok announced a collaboration with GLDN PNT – a US-based padel-first apparel brand – to launch a co-branded performance collection for padel players. It is Reebok’s first dedicated push into the sport. And it matters more than a typical kit launch.

What is GLDN PNT?

GLDN PNT is a performance padel brand built by Scott London, a veteran of the US streetwear industry who made his name launching Wu Wear, Zoo York, and Baby Phat.

London relocated to Miami Beach and was introduced to padel. He became so absorbed in the sport – the community, the competition, the social ritual – that he set out to build apparel that matched the culture he saw developing on court. His founding philosophy: “Friends don’t let friends play padel in tennis clothes.”

The brand name itself comes from padel’s most pivotal moment. The “golden point” is the sudden-death point played at deuce in the sport’s no-advantage scoring format – the moment that decides the game. GLDN PNT positions that as a mindset, not just a rule: make the next moment count.

London’s vision draws a direct comparison to what happened in snowboarding. When Burton and DC Shoes arrived, they created a visual identity for the sport that became inseparable from the culture – the gear matched the attitude. GLDN PNT wants to do the same for padel.

The Reebok x GLDN PNT collection

The collection launched on 16 March 2026 and is available now through GLDNPNT.com. It covers both men’s and women’s pieces:

  • ID Train Short Sleeve Tech Tee – performance technical tee, moisture-wicking
  • ID Performance Tech Tee – a lighter-weight technical option
  • Speed Racer Tank – cut for movement at the net
  • ID Train Tri Back Bra – women’s sports bra with a technical back panel
  • WOR 9 in Woven Short – a court-specific woven short

Each piece carries both Reebok branding and the GLDN PNT identity. The design language leans into sport performance rather than fashion athleisure – functional fabrics, clean cuts, built for the range of motion that padel demands.

The collection launched at a pro-am tournament at Sunset Padel in Miami Beach, with a $5,000 prize pool. London plays there regularly and was instrumental in bringing the two brands together.

Pricing and UK availability

Pricing has not been disclosed in the official announcement. The collection sells through GLDNPNT.com, which is a US-based platform with standard international shipping. UK buyers can order direct, though import duties may apply depending on order value. The site offers free shipping on orders over $150.

There is no UK-specific retail partner announced at time of writing. That may change – Reebok’s broader distribution network reaches the UK across multiple retail channels, and the appetite for padel kit at UK clubs has grown sharply over the past two years.

Why this matters for UK padel players

The Reebok collaboration is significant for a reason that goes beyond the clothes themselves. Until now, the padel apparel market has been dominated by specialist brands – Bullpadel, Nox, Babolat’s padel line – that most UK casual players find either hard to source or feel unfamiliar with.

Reebok is different. It has high-street presence, brand recognition, and a reputation built on decades of performance sport. When a brand of that scale enters a sport, it sends a signal that the sport has arrived.

The comparison to streetwear is instructive. When major fashion-adjacent brands began producing dedicated skate, snowboard, or surf lines, it reflected real market demand – audiences large enough to justify the investment, and a culture worth aligning with. Padel now passes that test.

For UK players, the practical implication is straightforward: more choice, and better choice, is coming. A Reebok padel line – with its distribution infrastructure – makes it more likely that performance padel kit starts appearing in mainstream UK sportswear retail over the next 12–18 months.

The padel apparel gap

There is a real problem in UK padel right now. The most common question at any club night is not about technique – it is “what should I wear?” New players default to tennis kit, gym clothes, or whatever trainers they own. Padel shoes are still a niche purchase – the padel shoes guide covers what to look for. Dedicated padel clothing barely registers. For beginners wondering what to turn up in before dedicated kit makes sense, what to wear for padel covers the basics.

That creates an opportunity, and it is one that brands are starting to notice. The FashionUnited coverage of the Reebok launch – a mainstream fashion trade publication, not a sport niche site – signals that the padel apparel market is being watched by the industry, not just by players.

Scott London put it this way in the brand statement: “Padel is more than a sport – it’s a global movement, and we’re thrilled to partner with Reebok to raise the bar for padel apparel.” Daniel Schachne, Reebok’s SVP, added that the brand has “championed energy and passion in sport for decades,” and saw the collaboration as a natural extension of that into padel’s growing community.

Where to find it

The Reebok x GLDN PNT collection is available at gldnpnt.com. UK orders ship internationally. If you are waiting for high-street availability, that announcement has not come yet – but the collaboration suggests Reebok’s padel ambitions do not stop here.

For now, this is the clearest sign yet that the biggest names in sport are taking UK padel seriously.
