It was made in limited numbers, ships in exclusive collector packaging, and incorporates every top-tier Metalbone technology in a frame that is simultaneously a pro weapon and a collector's piece. This is Galán's tribute racket, and it shows in every detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Mercury story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Metalbone Pro EDT 2025 draws its identity from the planet Mercury — associated with the day of Galán's birth — representing the speed, energy, and precision that define his game. The engravings and graphics across the frame surface trace his origins, his titles, and the aggressive left-side style that took him to World No.1. This is a racket with a story built into the carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnologies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Aluminized 16K face\u003c\/strong\u003e — a premium 16K aluminised carbon weave delivering maximum stiffness, explosive responsiveness, and outstanding durability.

For a limited edition, the box is part of the product. The Metalbone Pro EDT 2025 ships in exclusive collector packaging that forms part of the \"Mercury tribute\" experience Adidas designed around this racket. Most pre-owned EDT rackets come without it. This one doesn't. For a buyer who cares about owning the complete edition — not just the racket — this is the listing you've been looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy this pre-owned racket?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Adidas Metalbone Pro EDT 2025 retails at a significant premium — it is Adidas' flagship limited edition and was produced in restricted numbers. This pre-owned unit has been used briefly, is in excellent condition, and comes with every original accessory intact including the exclusive box. There is no more complete way to own this racket short of finding a sealed new unit — which at this stage is extremely rare. For a South African player wanting Galán's signature limited edition at a meaningful discount, this is the best opportunity available.
