The Yonex Power Cushion Aerus Z2 Mens Badminton Shoes are Yonex's lightest performance shoe, built to enable swift and explosive footwork.

The Aerus range is a top seller every year and also popular with Yonex sponsored professional players. This latest version, new for 2023, incorporates the latest radial blade sole pattern, which offers greater grip on court surfaces. Also newly introduced is the synchro-fit insole, which allows a closer fit between the shoe and the foot to reduce power loss and prevent the foot slipping forwards.

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*

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.

Synchro-Fit Insole - 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. 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.

3D Power Graphite - 3D Power Carbon plate is inserted in the midsole, reducing weight and reinforcing your stability when landing.

Radial Blade Sole - Designed for confidence in directional change. A new sole pattern increasing traction in vertical, horizontal and diagonal movements.
