The Babolat Jet Tere 2 Clay Women in Queen Jio Gray is the lightest performance shoe in Babolat’s women’s lineup, specifically optimized for the quick transitions and sliding required on clay courts. The "Queen Jio Gray" colorway offers a sophisticated, muted aesthetic—a subtle, smoky grey that provides a modern alternative to traditional white or neon tennis shoes.
Key Performance Features
- Lightweight Agility: This model focuses on stripping away unnecessary weight to provide a "second skin" feel. It is designed for players whose game relies on foot speed and rapid court coverage.
- Refined Mesh Upper: The upper features a single-layer, high-breathability mesh that keeps the foot cool. For the "Tere 2," the mesh has been updated to be more durable while maintaining its flexible, lightweight properties.
- KPRS-X Cushioning: To protect against the impact of aggressive movement, a specialized EVA foam insert is positioned under the heel. This system is tuned to absorb shock without making the shoe feel bulky or disconnected from the court.
- Michelin Clay Outsole: The outsole is made with a premium Michelin rubber compound and features a full herringbone (Z-shaped) tread. This allows for the perfect balance of grip for acceleration and "release" for controlled sliding on clay surfaces.
Performance Breakdown
- Court Feel: Because of the low-profile design and 10mm drop, this shoe offers an excellent "low-to-the-ground" feel, providing the responsiveness needed for a quick first step.
- Breathability: The open-mesh construction makes this one of the most ventilated shoes in the Babolat range, ideal for long matches in hot conditions.
- Lateral Stability: While it prioritizes speed, the Tere 2 includes lateral reinforcements to provide support during the heavy side-to-side loading common in baseline rallies.
Style & Fit Note
The Queen Jio Gray edition is designed to look sleek and understated. The tonal grey mesh is accented with subtle Babolat branding, making it easy to pair with almost any outfit.
