Yonex Badminton Shoe [POWER CUSHION 65X MEN]

Improved fit and better stability on landing for quicker, sharper movement.

Series Overview

A key feature of all YONEX footwear, the YONEX POWER CUSHION absorbs shock then reverses the impact energy for smooth transfer into the next movement.

Verification: When dropped from 7m above a POWER CUSHION sheet, an egg will bounce back 4m without damage.

Product Technology

POWER CUSHION +

By adding a special elastic resin to POWER CUSHION, while maintaining the conventional lightweight properties, high shock absorption is realized. Grooves designed in a lattice pattern, with optimum spacing and depth, achieve further resilience.

Compared with conventional cushining material, the new POWER CUSHION＋ boasts 28% more shock absorption and 62% more repulsion.

POWER CUSHION

The YONEX Power Cushion absorbs shock then reverses the impact energy for smooth transfer into the next movement.

Compared with urethane, the YONEX Power Cushion construction provides 3 times more shock absorbing power. When dropped from 7m above a Power Cushion sheet, an egg will bounce back 4m without damage.

ToughBrid Light

ToughBrid Light retains the exact performance as ToughBrid yet is 11%* lighter, generating a significant reduction in leg and knee stress.

Toe Assist Shape

A toe-centric design that cuts down on pressure in the big toe, as well as offering improved support at the mid-foot and heel for a stable fit. Power loss is reduced, allowing for swift footwork.

Synchro-Fit Insole

YONEX Synchro-Fit Insole construction creates a secure contact between foot and shoe, reducing energy wastage through an improved fit.

Fig 1. Compared with conventional badminton shoes, the mid to heel section on the insole is elevated to provide an improved fit between foot and shoe.

Fig 2. By holding the heel firmly against the insole, the gap between foot and shoe is reduced, improving comfort and performance, ensuring the foot has maximum grip inside the shoe.

Round Sole

The YONEX Round Sole is designed to provide all-around support for quick and smooth footwork. The Round Sole ensures smooth movements and transfer of maximum energy.

Hexagrip

For agile and stable footwork, the hexagrip pattern provides 3% more grip and is 20% lighter than standard sole material.

Lateral Shell

The Lateral Shell located on the outside of the forefoot prevents sliding at the edge of the sole. It reduces power loss, increases footwork response and creates smooth, fluid and offensive foot movements.

Tough Guard™ III

Three times stronger than ordinary synthetic leather and more resistant against heat for prolonged comfort and better performance.
