Color(s) Dark Gray Upper Synthetic Fiber Midsole Synthetic Resin Outsole Rubber Sole Material POWER CUSHION+, POWER CUSHION, Double Raschel Mesh, Durable Skin Light, Feather Bounce Foam 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. 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 CUSHION™ 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. Hexagrip Sole For agile and stable footwork, the hexagrip pattern provides 3% more grip and is 20% lighter than standard sole material.
