Bullpadel Hack Vibram 25I Chewing Gum

The Bullpadel Hack Vibram 25I is the Pro Line model from the Hack range worn by Paquito Navarro on court. ‘Chewing Gum’ refers to the chewing-gum-pink upper, on which the Bullpadel logo is printed in black, elongated lines. The heel collar and laces are black, the midsole is white and the outsole is light grey, with Paquito Navarro’s name on the heel.

Who is the Bullpadel Hack Vibram 25I Chewing Gum suitable for?

Bullpadel positions this model for advanced and professional players and describes it as a shoe for those who play intensively. According to the manufacturer, stability is the key performance feature on which the Hack is built, making it suitable for players who accelerate sideways frequently, push off hard during smashes and are on the court several times a week. If you’re primarily looking for a comfortable shoe for a weekly game, this model is more robust than necessary.

How is the fit of the Bullpadel Hack Vibram 25I Chewing Gum?

The upper is made from technical Breathmesh fabric, joined together using thermosealed bonds rather than stitching, resulting in a lightweight and seamless construction. Inside, an elastic Sock Fit construction envelops the foot; at the back, there’s a stabiliser around the heel; and the toe is reinforced with a compact rubber Toughtoe. Bullpadel itself states that this model runs large and advises ordering one size smaller than you would normally wear. Bullpadel does not provide any information regarding the width of the last.

Does the Bullpadel Hack Vibram 25I Chewing Gum offer extra cushioning?

The midsole is constructed according to the 2Dens principle, featuring two components of different densities that absorb shocks whilst maintaining a firm, controlled foot. The Catapult system under the heel supports the push-off during jumps and forward movements, whilst the side fins keep the foot stable. The central Lateral Movement channel deforms in a controlled manner during lateral landings, thereby absorbing additional impact. Included is a removable OrthoLite insole that wicks away moisture and retains its cushioning over time, combined with an EVA Stitch Insole in a Strobel construction. The weight is 360 grams in size 41.

Stability and grip of the Bullpadel Hack Vibram 25I Chewing Gum

The outsole is made from hard-wearing Vibram rubber with a Hybrid 360 tread pattern, which balances traction with controlled sliding and is suitable for all court types, particularly those with little sand. X-Trabase increases the support area on the outer side for stability during sudden changes of direction, whilst Sole Shield extends the sole along the sides and toe to provide protection against abrasion. The high wear resistance of the Vibram compound is precisely why players who clock up many hours on court choose this model.
