We had never seen Will Smith with a padel racket in his hand before. The American actor recently discovered the collector's model designed by Richard Orlinsky in collaboration with Bullpadel et Mind Padel Shop ...going so far as to take the reins alongside the French artist. A striking scene that confirms once again that padel now attracts personalities far beyond the world of sport.
A work of art in the image of Orlinski
A huge padel enthusiast Richard Orlinsky lent his artistic touch to the new Bullpadel Neuron 02 Edge , the model used in particular by Federico Chingotto .
The French artist has designed a racket in vibrant colors, blending a black background with splashes of pink, turquoise, purple, and orange. This creation, which draws on the codes of street art and its pop aesthetic, transforms the racket into a true collector's item.
Produced at only 1,000 numbered copies This limited edition will be sold exclusively at Mind Padel Shop at the price of 499,95 € .
A unique piece to benefit a charity
The copy n ° 1/1000 will receive special treatment. Dedicated by Federico Chingotto It will be auctioned off and all proceeds will be donated to [the charity]. French Association of Hemophiliacs (AFH) .
An initiative that combines this artistic collaboration with a charitable action.
An image that's causing a stir
Beyond the racket, it was primarily an image that captured attention: Will Smith alongside Richard Orlinski, discovering and getting to grips with this collector's model.
The American actor has never been seen on a padel court, and there's no indication that he's about to take it up. But this appearance illustrates the sport's growing appeal. After winning over numerous footballers, tennis players, Formula 1 drivers, and artists, padel now seems to be attracting the attention of major figures in the film industry.
A simple nod or the beginning of a relationship between Will Smith and padel? It's still too early to tell. One thing is certain: seeing a Hollywood star take an interest, even for a moment, in a padel racket offers exposure that this rapidly growing sport can only welcome.
