Forplayers Club, the emerging voice in high-end athleisure, announces its presentation at Florida Men’s Fashion Week on November 15th–16th, 2025. The brand’s signature collection, inspired by the fast-growing paddle lifestyle, will be showcased as both a design statement and a sustainable foundation — engineered to serve as a core wardrobe, crafted for longevity, and positioned firmly against the culture of overconsumption.
Founded in 2024, Forplayers Club emerged from a singular conviction: performance apparel should embody the same precision as the discipline it serves. The brand channels a dialogue between two worlds—the disciplined design ethos of Finland and the dynamic, sun-drenched rhythm of Miami. Forplayers Club creates pieces for modern individuals and couples who value both motion and stillness, sport and style, individuality and connection. With a foundation in racket sports, particularly padel, the brand designs for movement, confidence, and belonging beyond the court.
At the heart of Forplayers Club lies a commitment to intentional design. The signature collection is not a seasonal offering — it is a complete wardrobe, a reflection of the brand’s sustainable philosophy. Each piece is designed to endure, resist trends, and integrate seamlessly into everyday life. By prioritizing timeless silhouettes, premium fabrication, and versatile colorways, Forplayers Club rejects the cycle of overconsumption in favor of pieces that perform season after season.
The Signature Padel Collection showcases sleek silhouettes and elevated sets engineered for versatility. Technical fabrication meets refined design: moisture-wicking materials, engineered stretch, and breathable construction anchor each piece. The color palette balances classic neutrals with bold, intentional accents — deep brown, grey, off-white, and muted sage — designed to transition seamlessly from competition to everyday life. Signature logo detailing appears with restraint, a mark of belonging rather than announcement.
Julia Molchanov, Founder & Creative Director, shares:
“Forplayers Club is more than style on the court; it’s a mindset of confidence, balance, and ambition. We’re building a brand that values longevity over volume — pieces designed to last, not to be replaced.”
With its debut at Florida Men’s Fashion Week, Forplayers Club steps into the spotlight as one of the most promising lifestyle brands, sparking a global conversation around premium activewear. The collection speaks to athletes, creatives, and tastemakers who understand that performance is personal, style is never separate from substance, and true luxury is found in what endures.
Forplayers Club invites media, press, buyers, and industry professionals to experience the collection firsthand during Florida Men’s Fashion Week, November 15–16, 2025. For interview requests, high-resolution imagery, or additional information, please contact the details below.
