POWER CUSHION

Shock Absorption

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.

POWER CUSHION +

A raw egg can be dropped from 12 meters above the POWER CUSHION+ mat, rebounding to a height of 6 meters without breaking. **Tested by YONEX** POWER CUSHIONâ„¢ is a trademark of Yonex Co., Ltd. *Research by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association & Boken Quality Evaluation (based on JIS standards) in comparison to conventional cushioning material (EVA).

Power Graphite Sheet

Stable

A graphite plate is inserted under the middle portion of the sole to increase stability and reduce weight within the shoe.

Synchro-Fit Insole

Quicker Footwork

YONEX new Synchro-Fit Insole construction allows a closer fit between shoe and foot, keeping power loss to an absolute minimum to achieve smoother movement and quicker footwork.Fig1. Compared to conventional footwear, the mid to heel area on the insole is lifted to provide a closer-fit between shoe and foot.Fig2. By holding the heel more firmly against the insole, the gap between shoe and foot is reduced, improving comfort and ensuring the foot does not slip forwards inside the shoe.

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.

msLITE X

The lightest midsole material in Yonex history features a thick bottom with added shock absorption.

RADIAL BLADE SOLE

The grip pattern of the sole has been redesigned creating the RADIAL BLADE SOLE. By finely arranging a windmill shape that combines areas with large and small indentations, the weight of the shoe is dispersed, and the grip is improved by approximately 3%*. Resulting in a grip that supports quick dashes and sudden stops.

Inner Bootie

A knit bootie is integrated into the shoe replacing the conventional tongue for improved comfort and better all-around fit.

Inner Bootie

Flexion Upper

Asymmetric design with a curved eyelet creates a natural snug fit around the inner arch.
