01 WHO WE ARE
Teachers. Players. Padel enthusiasts.
MEET THE NERDS
Two teachers. One shared obsession.
We’re Tom and Harry: two teachers, padel players and the people behind Padel Nerds. We started the brand after becoming hooked on the game and the community growing around it.
What began with a shared sense of humour and a few padel puns has grown into original apparel, club collaborations and a herd connecting players across Qatar, the UK and beyond.

02 OUR JOURNEY
From an idea to a growing herd.
Padel Nerds started in 2024 with puns, prints and a simple idea: create clothing for people who love the culture of padel as much as the game itself.
Our first designs found their audience in Qatar. Photoshoots brought the ideas to life, new graphics shaped our identity, and collaborations connected us with clubs and communities. The next chapter is taking that energy into the UK.

Before the GOAT range and club collaborations, Padel Nerds began with playful padel takes on familiar names, music and films. These were the ideas that started the conversation — and the herd.

04 FIRST MARKET
Meeting the herd face to face.
Our first experience at Doha Festive Market brought the herd together in person. We had an unforgettable day showcasing our products, meeting customers and hearing which designs you loved — and what you wanted to see next. A huge thank you to Tom, Phil and Vicky for their help, and to everyone who stopped by and supported our small brand.
03 NEW YEAR, NEW DESIGNS
Two tees. A fresh chapter.
After the Christmas markets, we introduced the original Join the Herd tee and the player graphic tee together. They brought a new look to Padel Nerds at the start of the year.

Where the designs went next
The player artwork later appeared on layers, while the GOAT range grew into new prints and performance tops for summer.
04 OUR FIRST SPONSORED PLAYERS
Punta Cana. A major first.
We sponsored @duane.9664 and @mosolwa as they competed in the Playtomic World Series in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. They won their division, wearing Padel Nerds on and off court. It was a special moment to see the herd represented at a competition abroad. Thank you both for sharing the photos — here’s to more tournaments together.

12 THE UK VENTURE
THE NEXT CHAPTER
From Qatar to the UK.
After building our first community and collaborations in Qatar, we started taking Padel Nerds into the UK. These photos capture the apparel being worn by people we met, at UK courts and out in the wider padel community.
It’s the next step for the herd: sharing the designs, meeting players and growing through the connections we make around the game.

08 THE 2 MR PS
Battle of the Teachers.
The Padel Nerds were taught a lesson! The 2 Mr Ps came out on top on court, but the whole day was a highlight for us: meeting in person and chatting about all things padel, football and school.
Great company. On and off court.
It was an absolute pleasure to meet the people behind @ict_mrp and @2mrpspodcast. As two teachers ourselves, we had plenty to talk about beyond the game.
Seeing them wearing Padel Nerds made the day even more special. We really appreciate the support they’ve shown our small brand — and we’re already looking forward to a rematch!
