Babolat Jet Viva Scuba Blue

Babolat Jet Viva Scuba Blue

The Babolat Jet Viva Scuba Blue is a lightweight, agile padel shoe for players who prioritise speed and freedom of movement. This version is the most striking in the range: a bright cyan blue knitted upper sits on a fully dark blue midsole and outsole. Short white stripes run across the heel, and there are two red tabs next to the laces, giving the shoe a clearly defined, two-part design.

Who is the Babolat Jet Viva Scuba Blue suitable for?

Babolat positions the Jet Viva for developing players who are primarily looking for lightness and comfort. The upper is made from 100% recycled, triple-woven mesh that moulds to the shape of the foot, making the shoe suitable for players who make frequent short bursts of acceleration and changes of direction. Those looking specifically for a heavy, highly supportive stability model would be better off choosing a more robust model.

How does the Babolat Jet Viva Scuba Blue fit?

Babolat has given the Jet Viva a standard last and a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop. The woven upper wraps around the midfoot without any harsh seams, whilst a moulded OrthoLite insole beneath the foot ensures comfort and ventilation. Order your usual size; the shoe has a standard length. Sizes range from 39 to 48 inclusive.

Does the Babolat Jet Viva Scuba Blue offer extra cushioning?

The cushioning comes from the KPRS-X system: an EVA insert under the heel that absorbs the impact of push-offs and braking, thereby protecting the heel area. This provides a moderate level of cushioning – enough protection for long training sessions and matches without losing direct contact with the court.

Stability and grip of the Babolat Jet Viva Scuba Blue

The outsole is made from a Michelin rubber compound with a studded tread pattern specifically designed for sand and artificial grass, with extra thickness in the areas subject to the most wear. The 360° Flex grooves in the forefoot and across the rest of the sole allow the foot to bend naturally, so that the shoe moves with you during lateral lunges rather than working against you.
