Heritage tennis apparel brand BOAST launched its 'Padel Collection,' a range of padel-inspired graphic tees and apparel made from Peruvian Pima cotton. The BOAST Padel Collection starts at $49.50 on boastusa.com and features the brand's signature red-white-red ribbon neck detail on a tailored, mid-fit silhouette that avoids both boxy and overly slim cuts.
The collection is designed for padel players and tennis fans looking for on-court-ready style with enough versatility for everyday wear, leaning on Pima cotton's natural softness and breathability as its material foundation.
As padel continues its rapid rise across North America, BOAST shows how heritage racket-sport brands can reach expanding audiences by applying their design language to new disciplines.
