For the first time ever, the Yonex Power Cushion Aerus series is now available in a wide fit. Introducing the new Power Cushion AERUS Z2 which achieves both lightness and stability. This new 4th-generation model in the vastly successful Aerus series is an improvement over the Yonex Aerus Z model. It is the lightest ever badminton shoe from Yonex, weighing just around 240 grams. Â
Â
The new AERUS Z2Â is both light and stable. The sole is manufactured using Feather Light X, a material that is 12% lighter in weight while generating more repulsion than the previous AERUS models. A key ingredient to stability is a reliable grip. RADIAL BLADE SOLE is implemented to provide the ultimate grip.
Â
With a new seamless upper design, comprised of 100% recycled materials, the Durable Skin Light and Double Russel Mesh bring less weight with a better fit, flexibility, and breathability â?Easy on your feet as well as the environment. With the POWER CUSHION+ and improved 3D Power Graphite Drive, the AERUS Z2 is not only light stable and eco-friendly but also converts the impact of each step into repulsion and power for the next.
The new AERUS Z is now available in menâs, womenâs, and wide models, giving players more options. It is also accompanied by its affordable counterpart, AERUS X, and the junior model, AERUS Jr.Â
 INNOVATION:Â
FEATHER LIGHT X
FEATHER LIGHT X is Yonexâs lightest midsole material and is one of the key technologies in making the AERUS Z2 lighter while providing smooth, quick footwork.
Â
Seamless Upper
The upper is built with a single primary piece which is a combination of the Durable Skin Light, a strong and lightweight material, and the Double Raschel Mesh, a highly breathable fabric. The two materials are fused together using a vacuum-pressing method which enables the upper to be built with less material.
Â
RADIAL BLADE SOLE
The grip pattern of the sole has been redesigned creating the RADIAL BLADE SOLE. By finely arranging a windmill shape that combines areas with large and small indentations, the weight of the shoe is dispersed, and the grip is improved by approximately 3%*. Resulting in a grip that supports quick dashes and sudden stops.
Â
POWER CUSHION+
The AERUS Z features a specially shaped wedge of POWER CUSHION+ in the heel designed specifically to absorb shock associated with the footwork of badminton. By improving shock absorption, our POWER CUSHION+ technology transforms impact into energy. A 28%*Â increase in shock absorption and a 62%**Â increase in repulsion when compared to the standard EVA materials.
Â
3D Power Graphite Sheet
The sole of the AERUS Z2 is built with Power Graphite Sheet, a carbon sheet that prevents twisting of the foot and improves stability during the most strenuous of movements. Working together with POWER CUSHION +, the absorbed impact power is converted into a propulsive force to help propel you into your next step.
