Álex Ruiz  will wear the colors of  Oxdog  until 2028. An important signing for the Swedish brand which welcomes a player firmly established in the world's top 25, now the highest ranked in its padel roster.
Without revolutionizing the established order, Captain America brings to Oxdog a reliable, experienced, immediately competitive profile.

A new chapter begins after eleven years at Adidas.

This change marks the end of a rare era in modern padel. For over a decade, Álex Ruiz has been inseparable from  Adidas Eleven years of loyalty, of building together, and a  Adipower  which has almost become a signature of his game.

At this stage of his career, Ruiz is no longer operating on a gamble, but on consistency. He remains the type of player capable of bringing immediate sporting credibility to a project. A sought-after profile, at a time when other established players on the circuit, like  Coki Nieto have still not decided on their future as equipment suppliers.

Oxdog continuity, technology and increased visibility

With Ruiz, Oxdog significantly enhances its visibility. Created twelve years ago, the Swedish brand originated from hockey, a sport deeply rooted in Scandinavian culture. From its inception, its DNA has been clear: high-end products, advanced technologies, and demanding manufacturing standards.

Already accompanied by  Javier Barahona ,  Javi Garcia  ou  Teo Zapata , Oxdog continues with a logic of regular players at the world's highest level to structure and establish the credibility of its padel project, without skipping any steps.

Sporty stability and controlled trajectory

On the track, continuity is also key. Despite some questions,  Juanlu Esbri  confirmed that he would continue alongside Álex Ruiz. The two men finished the 2025 season together, highlighted by a victory at the  FIP Platinum of Lyon  and a true complementarity.

Having suffered from type 1 diabetes since the age of ten, Captain America continues to evolve among the world's best with exemplary daily discipline.
A new emblem, yes. But still the same guiding principles: consistency, hard work, courage and clear-sightedness.
