Bologna, Italy, October 15th 2025 - Ducati and Macron present their first-ever collection born from the collaboration between two symbols of Italian excellence, both rooted in Bologna and internationally recognised for their innovation, style and product quality.

The result of this partnership is the Macron X Ducati capsule collection, a unique activewear line designed for motorsport enthusiasts who are passionate about padel. The collection features two premium rackets – the Hero Pro Power and Hero Pro Control, each with its own shape and technical characteristics – as well as two t-shirts sharing the same design but available in both red and black, a pair of shorts with functional pockets, and a sweatshirt ideal for warm-up or post-game comfort.

Completing the collection is the Anthem Jacket, a unique piece created for those who want to wear their passion every day in a perfect balance between sporting functionality and distinctive Italian design.

All pieces in the Macron X Ducati collection are crafted from high-quality technical materials, the result of Macron’s ongoing research and development alongside over 100 clubs and sports federations worldwide, from Bologna FC 1909 to another Motor Valley icon, Lamborghini. The design draws inspiration from Ducati’s legendary motorcycles, celebrating the clean lines and unmistakable character of the Red bikes of Borgo Panigale.

Claudio Domenicali, CEO Ducati: “ We are proud to bring this collaboration with Macron to life: a company that, like Ducati, believes in quality, innovation and the strength of its roots. Together, we wanted to express the Italian passion for performance and sport, exploring a new field for us like padel. I find it fascinating to see how the same energy that drives us on the racetrack can find new forms of expression, with Macron having perfectly captured our DNA with care and authenticity in this project.”

Gianluca Pavanello, CEO Macron: “ We are truly excited about this first collaboration with Ducati, an iconic brand with which we share so many values. Our headquarters are only a few kilometers apart, and it’s remarkable to see how both companies, guided by Italian style and a pursuit of technical excellence, have risen to global prominence in two highly competitive industries. I am confident that Ducati fans around the world will appreciate the quality and spirit of this collection.”

The Macron X Ducati capsule collection is now available on macron.com and soon on shop.ducati.com.
