The Yonex Power Cushion Aerus Z Mens Badminton Shoes are Yonex's lightest shoes to date, weighing just 250g and built to enable swift and explosive footwork.
The latest edition of the ever popular Aerus range offers a more flexible and improved fit than the previous Aerus 3. Having tried and tested them ourselves at BadmintonHQ we're really pleased with the more forgiving fit and extra room available around the toe area, which was particulary narrow on previous models.
We advise players to order at least a 1/2 size larger than their regular shoe size when ordering Yonex shoes as they are small fitting.
Shoe technologies include:
Power Cushion - Yonex's notorious shock absorbing material has now been improved for 28% greater shock absorption and 62% greater repulsion*
Feather Bouce Foam - A lightweight, high repulsion material built to support agile, fast-paced footwork. 8% lighter in weight, while generating 20% more repulsion than the previous AERUS model*.
Double Russel Mesh - An ultra fine mesh that is extremely lightweight and durable. It provides eight times more air-exchange for releasing moisture than ordinary mesh fabric.
Durable Skin Light - Combining rubber-like flexibility with the stiffness of hard plastic, the polyurethane-based Durable Skin Light lets you play light on your feet while maintaining a robust fit.
Power Graphite Sheet - A graphite plate is inserted under the middle portion of the sole to increase stability and reduce weight within the shoe.
Synchro-Fit Insole - Allows a closer fit between shoe and foot, keeping power loss to an absolute minimum to achieve smoother movement and quicker footwork. 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.
Hexagrip Sole - For agile and stable footwork, the hexagrip pattern provides 3% more grip and is 20% lighter than standard sole material.
Round Sole - Designed to provide all-around support for quick and smooth footwork. The Round Sole ensures smooth movements and transfer of maximum energy.
Seamless Upper Design - Built with a single primary piece which combines the Durable Skin Light, a strong and lightweight material, and the highly breathable Double Raschel Mesh. The two materials are fused together with a vacuumpressing method enabling an upper built with less material.
