Power Cushion 65X 4th Gen

Yonex Power Cushion 65X 4th Gen Badminton Shoes

The Yonex Power Cushion 65X 4th Gen, also known as the 65X4, is a unisex indoor court shoe from Yonex’s 65 series. It is a well-rounded option for players who want dependable cushioning and everyday comfort, whether for club nights, social sessions or regular training. Its focus is on comfort, cushioning and practicality, so it works well as a regular club shoe.

At the heart of the shoe is Yonex’s Power Cushion, a lightweight shock-absorbing material that compresses on impact and quickly returns to shape. In practice, it is intended to soften landings from lunges and jumps while converting some of that energy back into movement for quicker, lighter footwork.

The Lateral Shell prevents the foot shifting at the edge of the sole, which reduces power loss and helps keep your footwork fluid when pushing off sideways. Ergoshape moves the centre of gravity towards the big toe, aiming for a comfortable fit and extra speed when changing direction.

The upper combines synthetic leather with Double Raschel Mesh, a highly breathable fabric that maximises ventilation to keep your feet cooler through long sessions. Underneath, you get a synthetic resin midsole and a rubber outsole made for indoor courts. The synthetic leather and rubber sole also add durability and grip for repeated sidesteps and quick stops.

Yonex shoes often fit slightly small in length, with this model offered in a standard width, so many players choose to size up by half a size. If you want a more performance-focused shoe from the same 65 series, the 65 Z range is worth a look.
