    Outstanding attacking footwork. An all-round model with improved comfort. ● Low cut ● 3E design [Power Cushion+] A special elastic resin is added to Power Cushion, achieving high shock absorption while maintaining its conventional light weight. Plus-shaped grooves arranged in a grid at optimal spacing and depth deliver even greater rebound. [Power Cushion] Drop a raw egg from a height of 7 m and it bounces back 4 m without breaking! Proven shock absorption and rebound: Power Cushion is a lightweight shock-absorbing material developed exclusively by YONEX. It absorbs impact yet rebounds. In other words, it softens the impact of landing while converting that energy into your next footwork move. [Toughbrid Light] YONEX's own foot-friendly midsole material with excellent elasticity and shape retention that prevents the sole from deforming and flattening. [Power Carbon] A structure with a carbon plate in the midfoot to reduce weight and improve landing stability. [Toe Assist Shape] A toe design that relieves pressure on the big toe, combined with enhanced midfoot and heel support, reduces foot slippage inside the shoe for quick footwork without power loss. [Lateral Shell] Placed from the outer forefoot to the heel. Reduces power loss toward the outside and diagonally forward during side steps. [Synchro-Fit Insole] The sides from the midfoot to the heel are raised higher than before for better unity with the foot, and the front of the heel is raised to reduce foot slippage inside the shoe, further improving the fit. [Power Carbon Lite] Combines lightweight, high-strength "Solid E.V.A." with "Power Carbon" for both light weight and stability. [Round Sole] Rounded edges on the inner outsole perimeter and the heel reduce power loss during natural landing and push-off, enabling quick and smooth footwork.

      l1l3t6p A recommended all-round shoe

      I've gone from the 03→65→65Z→65Z2.
      I think the biggest difference from the previous 65Z is the lightness.
      The seamless upper construction makes it very light and easy to move in. The double raschel mesh and ventilation holes keep the inside of the shoe very comfortable, so you can play without it getting sweaty. It's very comfortable to wear, and I recommend it.

      Guben The reliable 65 series

      User review

      The 65 series, YONEX's pride and joy.
      The designs range from simple to flashy, so even choosing a pair is kind of fun

      If you have narrow feet, you may feel your foot shift a little when you brace sideways (I do).
      *Maybe it would help a bit if it had something like the lateral claw on the 99 LOW?

      They're light yet feel securely on your feet, so footwork feels natural.

      I switched from the ECLIPSION Z to the 65Z, and then to the 65Z2. They're fine.
      First, when I switched from the ECLIPSION Z to the 65Z, the cushioning felt a bit off.
      But the 65Z2 has excellent cushioning and feels lighter than the 65Z.
      I'm not happy with the colors, though. The performance is great, but there are so few colors, which is a shame.
      My feet are about E width, and even when I lace the 65Z2 up really tight, it shows no sign of breaking, so the durability is great too.
