PRESS RELEASE
20 March 2025, London, UK: The UK’s leading lifestyle-focused padel operator Rocket Padel and high-performance sporting branch EA7 Emporio Armani are proud to announce an exclusive partnership, as an official apparel partner.
As part of the collaboration, EA7 will introduce its premium sportswear line at Rocket Padel’s UK clubs. Known for fusing high-performance apparel with sleek, sophisticated style, EA7 elevates the player experience both on and off the court.
All coaches and staff at Rocket Padel’s three, soon-to-be four, locations will be outfitted in EA7 x Rocket Padel uniforms, bringing an unparalleled level of elegance to the British padel scene. The uniform will include a pro tracksuit featuring a zip-up jacket with matching trousers, t-shirt and shorts- all crafted with advanced fabric technology to optimise breathability and comfort during play.
The pro shops within Rocket Padel venues will feature a curated selection of EA7 products, alongside showcasing exclusive campaign assets. In addition, EA7 branding and signage will be prominently displayed throughout key areas of Rocket Padel clubs, including the net posts and entrance doors as well as vinyls, the glass walls of all the padel courts at the Battersea Power Station location, and also on centre courts at other Rocket Padel venues. Strategically placed lightboxes will ensure consistent visibility and brand presence across all clubs.
Both Rocket Padel and EA7 share a commitment to excellence, innovation, and redefining the boundaries of their industries. Rocket Padel’s premium lifestyle destinations provide the ideal setting for EA7’s luxury sportswear, making this partnership a seamless alignment of vision and values.
The EA7 Emporio Armani padel collection will be available at all Rocket Padel locations, giving players the opportunity to combine style and functionality in their on and off-court wardrobes.

About EA7 Emporio Armani
Dedicated to all those who engage in sport with passion, the Emporio Armani EA7 line was created to maximise performance while ensuring the highest levels of comfort. Launched in 2004 as a sports offshoot of Emporio Armani, EA7 has subsequently established its own identity as a brand with strong consumer awareness. The line, which is built around clothes that are always made to the latest technical specifications, is totally focused on satisfying the requirements of sports enthusiasts and professional athletes in seven different sporting sectors: basketball, tennis, golf, water sports, wintersport, outdoor and training.
Equally suitable for active exercise in the gym or outdoors, the collection is defined by the focus on ergonomic cut and design, applied to breathable, absorbent, water repellent materials that prioritise natural fibres and thin, lightweight fabrics that retain their shape even when subjected to strenuous movement. The close fit ensures maximum comfort. And naturally, the accessories are more than a match for the clothes: from gym bags, and bathrobes and bench covers in soft towelling, to trainers and running shoes.
