A racket that bridges generations, styles, and ways of playing featuring a design that reflects the passion adidas and PadelForAll share for the sport.

adidas unveils the new Metalbone09, created in collaboration with Delantero09 and PadelForAll

• April 16, 2025

adidas presents the new Metalbone09, a padel racket designed to break boundaries both on and off the court. Its name is no coincidence: “09” pays tribute to Jesús Rincón -better known as Delantero09- content creator and digital sports icon, who, together with his PadelForAll community, has helped introduce padel to new audiences. This collaboration is a true reflection of his style: powerful, authentic, and for everyone.

Jesús Rincón has captured the hearts of millions on social media with his charisma and passion for sports. With more than 5.6 million followers, he has worked alongside global stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. In 2020, he discovered padel, and ever since, he has shared his journey as a player and his growing love for the sport. This passion gave birth to PadelForAll -a community of over 237,000 followers- which inspires beginners and experienced players alike. Now, this community takes a major step forward with the launch of its own padel racket in collaboration with adidas Padel.

The Metalbone09 marks a milestone in adidas' history, as it becomes the first adidas padel racket signed by an ambassador who is not a professional athlete, but a true padel enthusiast, one who aims to make the sport accessible to all, regardless of age, skill level, or gender. This initiative embodies the values of community, inclusion, and a deep love for the game, shared by adidas, Delantero09, and PadelForAll.

This padel racket is designed to deliver the best of both worlds: power and control, cutting-edge technology and bold style, community spirit and top-tier performance. Its Diamond Oversize shape, with a sweet spot positioned toward the upper part of the racket and a head-heavy balance, makes it ideal for players looking to finish points with powerful smashes.

Key technical features

• Fiberglass: Offers a soft touch and great ball output on every shot.

• EVA Soft performance rubber: Low-density foam that ensures maximum comfort during play.

• Octagonal structure: An octagonal tubular frame providing superior stiffness and stability.

• Spin blade: A textured surface designed to enhance grip and generate more spin

• Structural reinforcement: Engineered for optimal durability, even during the most demanding matches.

The Metalbone09 is designed for advanced players who practice regularly and seek a padel racket that can keep up with their progress on the court.

"Creating this racket with adidas has been a dream come true. The Metalbone09 is more than just a padel racket, it’s my way of thanking the community for everything we’ve built together. It’s for everyone who, like me, fell in love with padel from day one," says Delantero09.

With this collaboration, adidas continues to drive innovation and expand access to padel through an inclusive, authentic approach, one that’s deeply connected to the new generation of players.
