Babolat Jet Tere 2 Pickleball Shoes

Summary

The Babolat Jet Tere 2 is a light, comfortable and durable court shoe that works across all court surfaces. It uses a minimalist, one-piece mesh upper made partly from recycled material, a slightly thicker midsole for softer landings and Michelin rubber for long outsole life, which makes it a refined update for pickleball players who want agility without losing support.

Design and technology

The upper is a simple, breathable mesh built in a single piece, which keeps the shoe very light and flexible and wraps the foot like a second skin. The mesh is made from 100% recycled polyester, a nice detail for players who care about sustainability. The midsole is about 5% thicker than in the previous version, helping absorb impact on landing and adding to the comfort across a long match. Inner and outer reinforcements hold the foot in place during sudden changes of direction, while a premium Michelin rubber outsole and a PRO SHIELD+ layer protect the toe area where wear is greatest. A premium moulded OrthoLite insole adds cushioning, breathability and durability.

On court

On the court the Jet Tere 2 feels airy and quick. The soft upper hugs the foot, the stability reinforcements steady lateral movement, and the thicker midsole smooths out the harshness of hard courts. The shoe is aimed at women, and it makes a lively choice for doubles play where fast reactions count.

Strengths

• Light and breathable. One-piece mesh keeps weight and heat down.
• Softer landings. Thicker midsole improves comfort.
• Toe durability. PRO SHIELD+ and Michelin rubber resist wear.
• Secure feel. Inner and outer reinforcements lock the foot in.
• Eco-minded build. The mesh is 100% recycled polyester.

Weaknesses

• Minimalist structure. Less rigid than a stability-focused shoe.
• Mesh can wear on abrasive courts. Heavy sliders should check the toe area often.
• Limited colour choice. Fewer colourways than long-running models.
• Women’s version emphasis. Check the size range for your needs.

Who it is for

Women players and anyone who prefers a light, flexible shoe, recreational and club players who want comfort, and players who care about durability and sustainability. It is also a good option for those who found the first Jet Tere too bulky.

Care and buying tips

Clean the mesh gently and let the shoes air dry. Remove the OrthoLite insole to dry after play and replace the shoes when the Michelin tread is worn.

Fit, sizing and buying advice

The Jet Tere 2 refines a shoe many players already know, so the fitting advice is the same as for a classic stability court shoe: a locked heel, a supported midfoot and a thumb’s width at the toe. Walk a few lateral steps in the shop or at home on a hard floor to check that nothing rubs. Players moving up from the first Jet Tere will find a familiar character with updates that improve comfort and support, while newcomers can treat it as a dependable, durable all-rounder for regular hard-court sessions.
