When an elite goalkeeper steps onto the pitch at the Johan Cruyff ArenA, they carry the weight of immense expectation. For Maarten Paes, signing for AFC Ajax is the culmination of years of growth, proven reliability, and international leadership.
From establishing himself in the Eredivisie to becoming a star in MLS with FC Dallas and an iconic figure for the Indonesian national team, Maarten’s journey has been defined by composure under high-pressure decisions.
Throughout this rise, Calma has been by his side.
Our partnership with Maarten is built on genuine athlete collaboration, leading directly to the creation of his bespoke signature glove: the Paes Tembok. Meaning "The Wall" in Indonesian, a tribute to the nickname given to him by millions of passionate supporters, the Paes Tembok was co-designed down to every technical detail. Engineered with high-grade EU-manufactured latex and fine-tuned backhand ergonomics, it provides the ultimate grip, protection, and control required at the top level.
Now, as Maarten represents Ajax in domestic and European football, he brings Calma and the Paes Tembok directly to one of football’s most prestigious stages.
Having our gear featured at a club with Ajax’s history is a massive moment for the Calma family. It reinforces our mission: delivering athlete-first innovation engineered for the modern goalkeeper.
The wall is built—and the Paes Tembok is ready for Amsterdam.
