Adidas produces more padel-specific footwear than any other brand available in New Zealand. Three main lines cover the market from recreational to competitive play: the Adipower CTRL, the Ubersonic, and the SoleCourt Boost. Each targets a different type of player at a different price point.
This page covers the current models, their NZD price ranges, where to buy them in New Zealand, and Adidas-specific sizing notes. For a comparison across all brands including Asics, Head, and Bullpadel, see the full padel shoes guide for New Zealand.
The Adipower CTRL 3.0 is the flagship padel shoe in the Adidas lineup. It targets competitive players who train regularly and play at club or tournament level.
Key features: Advanced Torsion system for midfoot stability, Continental rubber outsole for grip on artificial turf, reinforced toe cap for wall contact protection, Boost midsole cushioning in the heel.
Who it suits: Players who move aggressively, favor net approaches, and put in 3+ sessions per week. The structured support and firmer ride reward technically correct footwork.
NZD price range: $240-300 NZD depending on retailer and whether the model is current or previous season.
Court compatibility: Herringbone outsole pattern rated for artificial turf (OM). Non-marking sole meets NZ venue requirements.
The Ubersonic 4 Padel is the lighter, speed-focused alternative to the Adipower. It prioritizes quick movement over maximum stability, making it a better fit for attackers and players who cover a lot of ground.
Key features: Lightweight mesh upper with minimal lateral reinforcement, Adiwear rubber compound outsole, streamlined toe profile for fast footwork, moderate cushioning stack.
Who it suits: Players who rely on speed and prefer a more natural, flexible ride. Works well for recreational players who find the Adipower too stiff.
NZD price range: $180-240 NZD. Often available at a discount when newer models arrive.
The SoleCourt Boost is the accessible entry point into the Adidas padel range. The Boost midsole technology is the standout feature at this price level, providing energy return and comfort that holds up over long sessions.
Key features: Full-length Boost midsole for comfort and energy return, breathable textile upper, standard herringbone rubber outsole, relaxed toe box fit.
Who it suits: Beginners to intermediate players, recreational players, anyone playing 1-2 times per week who wants a quality shoe without spending on the Adipower.
NZD price range: $150-200 NZD. The best value proposition in the Adidas padel range.
Adidas padel shoes follow the same sizing as standard Adidas athletic shoes. If you have worn Adidas tennis, running, or training shoes in a particular size, the same size applies to their padel range.
Adipower CTRL 3.0: Fits narrower than the SoleCourt Boost, particularly in the toe box. Players with wider feet or who prefer extra toe room should go half a size up.
Ubersonic 4: Runs close to true size with a slightly tapered forefoot. Similar to the Adipower fit; wide-footed players should consider a half size larger.
SoleCourt Boost: More relaxed fit across the board. True to size for most foot shapes. A good option if previous Adidas models felt too snug.
When ordering online from New Zealand without the option to try on, ordering in your standard Adidas size is the right starting point. Check the return policy before purchasing in case a size exchange is needed.
Adidas padel shoes are not stocked in most New Zealand retail stores, which focus on general athletic and tennis footwear. The primary purchasing routes are international online retailers that ship to NZ.
Tennis-Point: European specialist retailer with the widest selection of Adidas padel models. Ships to New Zealand with typical delivery of 7-14 business days. Often stocks colourways and sizes unavailable elsewhere. Pricing is competitive and includes product photos with detail shots.
Amazon Australia: Faster delivery than European retailers (3-7 business days to most NZ addresses). Selection is more limited but covers the main Adidas padel models. Size exchanges are straightforward through the Amazon return process.
Padel Nation and specialist padel retailers: A small number of NZ-based padel specialists have begun stocking Adidas padel footwear. Check with your local padel club for current supplier recommendations, as this market is developing quickly.
Rebel Sport and Stirling Sports stock Adidas footwear but typically carry tennis and training shoes rather than padel-specific models. Calling ahead to check current stock is worthwhile if you want to try before buying.

New Zealand padel facilities predominantly use indoor artificial turf courts. Adidas padel shoes are designed for this surface type and perform well under NZ conditions.
Compared to Asics, Adidas models generally offer more lateral reinforcement and a firmer ride. Compared to Head, Adidas shoes sit at a higher price point but with more padel-specific engineering. Compared to Bullpadel, Adidas models have better availability in New Zealand and more straightforward sizing.
New Zealand's moderate indoor climate means heat management is less critical than in European or Middle Eastern padel markets. Breathability is still worth checking, particularly for the higher-end Adipower CTRL which uses a denser upper material.

The three main models available to NZ buyers are the Adipower CTRL 3.0, Ubersonic 4 Padel, and SoleCourt Boost Padel. Adidas releases updated versions annually, so current season models may differ slightly from those described here.
