Babolat Shadow Tour BK/BL - men's indoor court
The Babolat Shadow Tour is the elite, flagship shoe of the Babolat range and comes highly recommended for squash, badminton, and pickleball. The shoes feature DCS technology, which offers better shock absorption and dynamic response when moving around court.
The heel, which endures heavy strain, is protected by a bi-density sole that absorbs shocks and at the same time helps you rebound. The shoe’s structure has been designed to support the foot for any type of stance; the upper material molds to the foot’s shape, while preventing the foot from moving inside the shoe.
The Shadow Tour is comfortable, even after several hours of playing: the soft tongue and high collar surround the foot without being too tight, the anti-bacterial molded inner sole hugs the shape of the foot and prevents odours and the upper material allows your foot to breathe.
The outsole features dual treads in different sizes to maximise grip from any movement or angle on court. A collaboration with world famous tyre manuacturer Michelin is another indication of the high level engineering work that has gone into ensuring optimal traction on court. The shoe also features a higher heel collar to secure your foot in the shoes, combined with a Ariaprene upper for breathability in the shoe itself when playing.
