Babolat Propulse 2 tennis shoes with Michelin rubber

Michelin’s Lifestyle Limited division has developed the out-sole rubber for a range of Babolat’s new tennis shoes, The Babolat Propulse 2 worn by tennis star Andy Roddick.

Michelin incorporated rubber technology from its auto racing programs with a revised version of its Optimized Cell System that uses seamless circular micro-cells inspired by rally racing tires. The result is said to be exceptional grip and durability.
