Soccer legend with padel passion. Rafael van der Vaart - the name known to millions of soccer fans around the world. From Ajax to Real Madrid, from HSV to Tottenham Hotspur. But these days you can find Rafael most often on the padel court. Together with Rafael we are launching Raf23 - an exclusive collection that combines his style, his player mentality and his love for padel.

Worn by Rafael van der Vaart

From grass to artificial turf.

After a glittering soccer career full of awards and memorable moments, Rafael discovered his new passion: padel. What started as a fun way to stay fit grew into a real obsession. "Padel has everything I missed in soccer after my retirement," Rafael says. "The speed, the tactics, but especially the social aspect. On the padel court you're not just about winning - you build friendships, you laugh, you live."

That philosophy fits Mr. & Mrs. Padel perfectly. Because we too believe that padel is more than just a sport. It's about connection, playing together and those moments after the game with friends.

Rafael and Mr. & Mrs. Padel share the same vision: quality does not have to be elitist. Padel is for everyone who loves the game, from beginners to pros. That's why this collaboration felt natural from day one.

"I wanted to work with a brand that is as authentic as the sport itself," Rafael explains. "No frills, no talk - just honest quality at a fair price. Mr. & Mrs. Padel understands that. They make clothes you feel good in, whether you're playing a tournament or just enjoying a game with friends."

Time to Play. With Raf23.
