Yonex Power Cushion 65 VA Z4 2026 Men's Badminton Court Shoes

The Yonex Power Cushion PC 65 VA Z4 Men's Badminton Court Shoe (Viktor Axelsen Edition) is the flagship signature version of Yonex’s premier 4th-generation all-around court shoe. Built in collaboration with world champion Viktor Axelsen, it merges custom player branding and refined aesthetic details with maximum shock absorption, forefoot flexibility, and elite midfoot stability.

Performance Profile

1. Power Cushion+ Technology: Midsole shock-absorption platform delivering 28% greater shock dispersion and 62% more repulsion than standard EVA, absorbing heavy landing forces from jump smashes and converting them into explosive forward propulsion.
2. Seamless Flexion Upper: Reengineered seamless synthetic upper reduces pressure points across the instep, providing a friction-free, glove-like fit during deep lunging and foot flexion.
3. Feather Bounce Foam: Ultra-lightweight foam embedded through the midsole enhances springiness and underfoot energy return without adding excess weight.
4. Power Graphite Sheet: Embedded carbon-graphite midfoot plate reinforces arch structure, preventing torsional twisting on sharp side-steps, rapid lunges, and jump landings.
5. Radial Blade Sole Traction: Outfitted with Yonex's Radial Blade rubber outsole tread pattern, offering 3% more omnidirectional grip for instant court push-offs and fast recoveries.

Best Suited For

1. Competitive & Advanced Players: Ideal for male athletes looking for a versatile, tournament-grade court shoe with Viktor Axelsen signature branding.
2. Aggressive & Fast-Paced All-Rounders: Excellent for players whose style relies on rapid footwork, heavy front-court lunging, and explosive rear-court jump smashes.
3. Joint Protection & High-Impact Play: The combination of Power Cushion+ and a carbon midfoot plate protects knees, ankles, and heels during long, high-intensity matches.
4. Multi-Court Indoor Sports: Optimized for badminton, as well as indoor squash, racquetball, and pickleball courts.
