Yonex Power Cushion Aerus Z2 Men's Badminton Shoes - Blue/grey
Yonex Aerus Z2 Badminton's lightest shoe - maximum speed and shock absorption.
The AERUS series are a lightweight series aimed at providing agile footwork for all players who like to stay light and on their toes.
The new AERUS Z2 is the lightest ever badminton shoes from Yonex. These shoes are slimmed down by adopting a new sole made of Feather Bounce FOAM, a material that is 8% lighter in weight, while generating more repulsion than the previous AERUS models. With a new seamless upper design, the Durable Skin Light and Double Raschel Mesh bring less weight with better fit, flexibility and breathability.
With the POWER CUSHION+ and Power Graphite Drive, the AERUS Z is not only light, but also converts the impact of each step into repulsion and power for the next.
Verification: When dropped from 12m above a POWER CUSHION+ sheet, an egg will bounce back 6m without breaking.
Power Cushion +: The AERUS Z2 features a specially shaped wedge of POWER CUSHION+ in the heel designed specifically to absorb shock associated with the footwork of badminton. By improving shock absorption, our POWER CUSHION+ technology transforms impact into energy. A 28%* increase in shock absorption and a 62%** increase in repulsion when compared to the standard EVA materials.
Power Graphite Drive: The sole of the AERUS Z is built with Power Graphite Drive, a carbon sheet that prevents twisting of the foot and improves stability during the most strenuous of movements. Working together with POWER CUSHION +, the absorbed impact power is converted into a propulsive force to help propel you into your next step.
Feather Bounce FOAM: A lightweight, high repulsion material built to support agile, fast-paced footwork. The Feather Bounce FOAM is 8% lighter in weight, while generating 20% more repulsion than the previous AERUS models.

Seamless Upper Design: The upper is built with a single primary piece which is a combination of the Durable Skin Light, a strong and lightweight material, and the Double Raschel Mesh, a highly breathable fabric. The two materials are fused together using a vacuum-pressing method which enables the upper to be built with less material.
3D Power Graphite Sheet: 3D Power Carbon plate is inserted in the midsole, reducing weight and reinforcing your stability when landing.
Power Graphite Drive: A graphite sheet is inserted along the sole for increased stability and to propel you forward to the next shot.
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.
Syncro-Fit Insole: YONEX Synchro-Fit Insole construction creates a secure contact between foot and shoe, reducing energy wastage through an improved fit.
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.
Double Raschel Mesh: Double Raschel Mesh is 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: Great Fit Leaves you Light on your Feet. 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.
Hexagrip Sole: For agile and stable footwork, the hexagrip pattern provides 3% more grip and is 20% lighter than standard sole material.
