Men’s court shoes from the Joma Rapid range built for fast directional movement, support and durability. The Rapid 2617 uses a breathable reinforced upper, phylon cushioning and a STABILIS midfoot piece to improve torsional control during lateral play. Durable rubber outsole options vary by version, so grip profile depends on whether you are buying the clay or all-court model. Suitable for tennis or padel players wanting a stable, cushioned shoe for regular play.
Colour: Petroleum
Staff pro review:
A solid choice for players who prioritise support over an ultra-minimal feel. The Rapid 2617 offers dependable structure through the midfoot and enough cushioning for longer sessions without feeling overly bulky. Grip levels are strong and the upper has useful reinforcement for frequent movers who drag the toe area. Best suited to intermediate players wanting confidence on lateral pushes and recovery steps.

Faqs:
1. What does STABILIS actually do in play?
It is a support piece in the midfoot that helps limit excessive twisting during sharp lateral changes, giving a more secure platform when pushing off side to side.
2. Is the cushioning soft or firm?
The phylon midsole usually gives a balanced response: softer than a firm court shoe base, but still stable enough for quick padel footwork rather than overly plush running-shoe softness.
