Power Cushion 65Z Wide VA

Yonex Power Cushion 65Z Wide VA Badminton Shoes

The Yonex Power Cushion 65Z Wide VA is a wide-fit indoor badminton shoe developed with Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen. It brings the cushioning and support of Yonex’s 65 Z4 platform to a roomier fit, with extra space through the forefoot for players who find standard-width shoes restrictive.

Cushioning comes from Power Cushion+, Yonex’s shock-absorbing midsole material that returns energy into the next movement, helping make landings smoother and transitions more responsive. Feather Bounce Foam adds a lightweight, responsive layer to support quick footwork. Together, they are intended to ease the strain of repeated lunges and jump landings.

For stability, a Power Graphite Sheet adds support and helps reduce twisting on landing, while the Lateral Shell stops the foot moving at the edge of the sole so less power is lost on sideways pushes. The Ergo Outer Shell offers softer support and helps stabilise the foot during intense rallies. An inner bootie and a larger seamless upper are designed to give a secure, comfortable fit with less irritation from seams.

The shoe pairs a synthetic leather upper with a synthetic resin midsole. The high-grip rubber outsole supports quick directional movement, and Yonex’s Round Sole shape supports smooth transitions between movements.

This is a signature-edition shoe for players who want a performance-focused court shoe with more forefoot room.

If you are unsure which width to choose, consider how standard-width court shoes feel across the forefoot.
