Yonex Aerus Z2 (Wide) Unisex Badminton Court Shoe - Light Blue

The Yonex Power Cushion Aerus Z2 (Wide) Unisex Badminton Court Shoe in Light Blue is the 5th generation of Yonex’s flagship ultra-lightweight performance series. Engineered specifically for explosive, agile court movement, this version is tailored with a wider fit profile (ideal for players who find standard Yonex models too restrictive in the forefoot) while managing to be Yonex’s lightest court shoe to date—weighing in at approximately 240 to 250 grams per shoe.

Core Performance Technologies

1. Feather Light X Midsole: This revolutionary, ultra-lightweight midsole material is 12% lighter than its predecessors, significantly reducing leg fatigue while drastically improving responsiveness and court resilience.
2. POWER CUSHION+: A specially shaped wedge of high-elasticity resin integrated into the heel absorbs intense landing impacts and seamlessly converts that shock into repulsive energy for your next quick dash.
3. Radial Blade Sole Pattern: The classic outsole grip pattern is replaced with a finely tuned "windmill" layout combining varying indentation depths. This disperses weight evenly and boosts overall multi-directional court traction by roughly 3%, supporting sudden, sharp stops and explosive lateral jumps.
4. 3D Power Graphite Sheet: Embedded into the midfoot, this carbon fiber plate eliminates premium torsion (twisting of the foot) during heavy landing impacts or extreme lunges, anchoring your overall stability.

Upper Construction & Fit

1. Seamless Upper Design: Built by vacuum-pressing Durable Skin Light (a flexible, rubber-like polyurethane material) together with Double Raschel Mesh. This eliminates heavy stitched overlays, creating a glove-like contour that maximizes breathability (releasing moisture 8 times faster than standard mesh).
2. Toe Assist Shape: A specialized toe-centric structure that reduces painful pressure on the big toe while wrapping securely around the midfoot and heel to minimize internal foot slippage.
3. Wide Fit Profile: Features a 4E-equivalent broader anatomical toe box to perfectly accommodate players needing extra width across the forefoot without sacrificing a locked-in heel cup.
