The Babolat Premura 3 Juan Lebron 2026 is the signature padel shoe of "El Lobo" — the most explosive, most agile attacking player in the game. Third generation of Babolat's most iconic padel footwear, the Premura 3 is lighter, more breathable, and more responsive than any previous version: the result of pushing Babolat's most advanced shoe technologies to their limit, then validating them with the man who demands more from his footwear than anyone else on tour.

Built for explosive padel movement

Padel is won and lost on movement — and the Premura 3 is engineered for every dimension of it. Explosive first steps to the net. Fast lateral cuts to cover the side. Quick pivots under pressure at the back wall. Precise footwork at the transition zone. The Premura 3 responds to each of these differently, and handles them all: the 360° Flex technology gives your foot complete freedom on every plane, the Michelin sole locks in on each plant, and the forefoot "teeth" keep you connected through the contact. This is a shoe for players who move with intent.

Premium technologies & materials

• Matryx® Micro upper — an ultra-lightweight, ultra-breathable technical fabric developed exclusively by Babolat and Chamatex. Monofilament reinforcement strips woven directly into the fabric provide structural support and foot stability without adding weight — giving you the security of a firmer shoe in a frame that feels like it's barely there.
• Michelin padel-specific sole — co-engineered with Michelin over 15+ years of padel sole development. Designed specifically for padel court surfaces — sand, synthetic grass, and artificial turf — with a tread and rubber compound optimised for explosive directional changes and reliable grip under full lateral load. Not a repurposed tennis sole: a genuine padel outsole.
• 360° Flex technology — flex grooves cut into the outsole in multiple directions allow the sole to bend naturally with every pivot, sprint, and acceleration. Complete freedom of movement in all planes — critical for the multi-directional footwork padel demands.
• Iconic forefoot "teeth" — the Premura franchise's signature feature: lateral uprights in the forefoot that grip the inner foot, providing exceptional support on sharp cuts, forefoot pivots, and aggressive pushes off the back wall.
• 3D heel design — a sculpted heel cup provides enhanced stability and wrap around the rearfoot, keeping the foot locked in place during direction changes and jump landings.
• KPRS-X cushioning system — an EVA foam insert in the heel area absorbs impact on every landing, protecting your joints during jumps, smash landings, and the rapid heel strikes common in padel footwork.
• OrthoLite HybridPlus Recycled Bio insole — a moulded insole made from 57% recycled materials that conforms to your foot shape over time, delivering cushioned, breathable, long-lasting comfort from the first point to the last.
• Ultra-light tongue — redesigned for the Premura 3 to reduce weight at the top of the shoe without compromising the secure, locked-in feel around the ankle and instep.
• 7% more support vs Premura 2 — validated through real-game condition tests by Human Fab, sports and innovation experts. Measurably more supportive in the movements that matter most in padel.

Why this shoe excels on South African padel courts

Playing padel in South Africa means dealing with heat, intensity, and outdoor conditions that most padel shoes aren't designed for. The Premura 3 handles all three. The Matryx Micro upper and ventilation zones in the sole keep your feet cool through long, sweaty sessions in the Durban, Johannesburg, and Cape Town heat — where overheating is a real performance and comfort problem. The Michelin sole is built specifically for the sand and synthetic grass courts used across SA clubs, providing the traction profile that padel footwork demands rather than the herringbone pattern of a tennis shoe repurposed for the padel court. For SA players who train multiple times per week, the KPRS-X cushioning and OrthoLite insole protect your joints across every session. Available in two colourways — White/Orange and Blue Depths/Green Flash — with fast nationwide delivery from The Padel Market.

The Juan Lebron edition

Juan Lebron — "El Lobo" — is one of the most decorated attacking players in padel history and a multiple-time world number one. The Premura 3 is his personal choice for competitive play, designed in direct collaboration with him to meet the extreme movement demands of the professional tour. Every technology in this shoe has been validated under match conditions. When you wear the Premura 3, you wear what the pro wears.
