M-I-Z!!

Back in 2003 Babolat launched their first line of high-performance tennis shoes in a collaboration with Michelin. Since then they have expanded their shoe line to include the Jet Tere, Propulse, and SFX lines among others.

Dylan's personal favorite has been the Jet Mach series. In 2016 the Babolat Jet was first released. In 2018 the Jet Mach II debuted. In 2021 the Jet Mach 3 dropped. 2026 brought us the Jet Mach 4.

The Jet Mach series is known for being ultra-lightweight and delivering high performance as they were engineered for speed, explosiveness and agility!
