    Equipped with Power Cushion+. Focused on stability, with quick changes of direction that create agile footwork. Approved by the Nippon Badminton Association ● Mid 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. [Inner Bootie Construction] The tongue and collar are integrated. Eliminating overlaps removes gaps between the foot and the shoe for a better fit. [TPU Support] Enlarging the outer TPU parts improves outward torsional rigidity by approx. 20%* while keeping the same flexibility. [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. [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. [Toughbrid Light] YONEX's own foot-friendly midsole material with excellent elasticity and shape retention that prevents the sole from deforming and flattening. [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] A structure with a carbon plate in the midfoot to reduce weight and improve landing stability. [Durable Skin] A material with excellent abrasion resistance and shape retention is used in the forefoot. Rigidity varies between the inner, outer and central areas to enhance the performance each area requires.

      Kerolin Highly recommended if the new feel doesn't bother you

      User review

      This is the mid-cut version of the flagship model, packed with the latest technology: an upper that doesn't feel like synthetic leather, an inner bootie construction, and a fairly stiff sole.
      The inner bootie construction is distinctive, holding the whole foot with a moderate sense of compression, and it's the decisive difference from conventional shoes with a tongue. When you tighten the laces, the shoe feels like one with your foot. If you like this, it's the only choice.
      The stiff sole, which limits twisting, keeps you from getting tired. This is also a matter of preference, but I feel it greatly reduces fatigue.
      Shock absorption is reliable as always with YONEX, so if they don't feel weird when you try them on, I really recommend giving them a go.
      Since it's new technology, you should definitely try them on first.
