Having studied players’ specific movements on court, Babolat collaborated with Michelin to design a special outsole that combines side-to-side boosting, shock absorption and comfort, with abrasion resistance for top performance during play.

The Team All Court is the first in what will be a six-model line of durable, high-performance tennis shoes sold in the United States. Andy Roddick, 2003 US Open Champion and winner of the 2005 US Open Series, recently signed an agreement to wear Babolat tennis shoes starting in January 2006.

The 2005 French Open runner-up Mariano Puerta is already wearing Babolat shoes.
