Babolat: New Shoe Models

Babolat, one of the leading manufacturers of tennis products, announces the release of two new high performance tennis shoes: the 2008 Propulse model for men and the new Propulse tennis shoe for women, the Propulse Lady.

The 2008 Propulse tennis shoe, Andy Roddick’s signature shoe, has all the same innovative technological features as its predecessor: Exact Pro, offering quick reaction for recovery and rebound on every step, Michelin OCS allowing for better traction, and an improved Michelin Hi-Tech outsole offering more resistance to abrasion. With these three cutting edge innovations, the Propulse is the most dynamic and durable shoe in tennis.

- A real sensation of forefoot recovery in play

- A shoe that lasts 40% longer than others

- A shoe that offers instant comfort

- Also available in a junior model

- 2008 Propulse with new silver/black color

Suggested retail : $120

The men’s Propulse bears the signature of Andy Roddick, an exclusive among the professional players on the ATP Tour. Roddick has been playing with Babolat racquets and strings since 1999 and wearing Babolat shoes since August 2005. He is premiering the new 2008 Propulse at this year’s Australian Open. “Footwork is essential for winning,” commented Roddick. “In tennis, there are a lot of lateral moves, it’s very important in the game…and the Propulse is made for that. I have been particularly impressed with the traction and quick acceleration I get with the Propulse.”
