Osaka is a Belgian padel brand founded in 2011, with roots in field hockey. Its name and minimalist design draw inspiration from Japanese culture. At Esprit Padel Shop, the Osaka range includes Kai MK1 shoes, men's and women's clothing, bags, caps and accessories.
Why did a hockey brand move into padel?
Osaka first developed technical field hockey equipment with a strong visual identity. The brand brought both of these strengths to padel, a fast-growing sport.
It has kept its style while moving to a new court: clean lines, understated colours and references to Japan. Our article Osaka, the padel brand with a Japanese flair traces its arrival in the sport.
Which Osaka padel shoe should you choose?
The Kai MK1 is the most widely featured Osaka shoe in the selection, with men's and women's versions. The models have an all-court sole suited to most padel court surfaces.
They fall into two categories: lightweight shoes designed for quick movement, and versatile shoes for all-round use. Sizes range from EU 35.5 to 47. See all Osaka padel shoes.
Good to know: an all-court sole suits most courts. On synthetic turf with a lot of sand, however, a herringbone sole offers more grip when pushing off.

Why choose Osaka padel clothing?
You can recognise an Osaka outfit by its style. The brand brings the same aesthetic to its clothing as to the rest of its range: clean cuts, understated colours and Japan-inspired touches. The pieces work just as well on court as off it, from the match to the clubhouse.
As for materials, part of the collection uses recycled polyester, often blended with elastane. This blend maintains the freedom of movement needed for lateral movement and overhead shots. Sizes range from XXS to XXL, with men's, women's and unisex fits.
