The fifth-generation Babolat Shadow Tour 5 Badminton Shoe is built for players who live for speed and agility on the court. Designed with cutting-edge materials and a sleek, ultra-light construction, it weighs in at just 280 grams (UK size 8.5), letting you move with effortless precision. The breathable upper keeps your feet cool during the most heated games, while a completely reimagined sole boosts your on-court pace without sacrificing comfort. Its rocker-style profile and dual-density midsole give you that explosive push needed to transition from defence to attack in a heartbeat.

What sets the Shadow Tour apart is its innovation from sole to grip. In collaboration with Michelin, the outsole has been upgraded with enhanced rubber compounds and optimised stud patterns, offering unbeatable grip and durability on all indoor surfaces. This isn't just about traction - it's about control, responsiveness, and trusting your footing every step of the match. Whether you're chasing a drop shot or leaping into a smash, the Shadow Tour keeps you fast, light, and ready for whatever your opponent throws your way. 

Features:

Michelin Soles - Michelin rubber has been specially engineered for badminton, offering the ideal balance of grip and durability across all types of indoor courts. For added protection, a reinforced rubber guard wraps around the inner forefoot up to the toes, delivering exceptional durability in high-wear areas.
