Key Technologies
Graphite – Throttle Structure
Inspired by the idea of controlling power like a throttle, this new structure channels energy efficiently for both speed and stability.
POWER CUSHION REV
Yonex’s most responsive cushioning, offering 37% better shock absorption and 42% more repulsion than previous lightweight midsoles. It transforms impact into explosive rebound for smoother, faster movement.
POWER GRAPHITE Plate
A carbon-infused plate integrated in the sole enhances lateral stability and forward propulsion. Its exposed wing design gives the shoe both performance and visual distinction.
Design
The engineered mesh upper is lightweight and breathable, with reinforced zones for durability in high-wear areas. Both the mesh and laces are made from recycled polyester, in an eco-conscious design. Blue and green details in the shoe’s structure shows Yonex’s iconic brand colors.
