Yonex Power Cushion 65Z Men 4th Gen Badminton Shoes

The Yonex Power Cushion 65Z Men 4th Gen, also known as the 65 Z4, is a men’s indoor badminton shoe from Yonex’s Power Cushion 65 series. It aims to combine cushioning, stability and grip in a lightweight, all-round shoe suited to regular training and competitive play.

Cushioning comes from Power Cushion+, which absorbs impact from lunges and jump landings and returns that energy as the foot pushes off again. That can help reduce strain over long sessions of repeated lunging and landing. It is paired with Feather Bounce Foam, a lightweight, high-repulsion midsole material intended to keep the shoe light and support quick, agile footwork.

For stability, a Power Graphite Sheet reinforces the midfoot to help limit twisting on landing, while the Lateral Shell prevents the foot moving at the edge of the sole so less power is lost during sideways pushes. A seamless synthetic leather upper and Double Raschel Mesh help provide a snug, breathable fit.

Underfoot, the rubber outsole uses Yonex’s Radial Blade Sole pattern, designed to improve traction when starting, stopping and changing direction, alongside the Round Sole shape that supports smooth transitions between movements. The midsole is synthetic resin.

This men’s version suits players who want a performance-focused shoe with dependable cushioning and grip. If you are weighing it against a more everyday option from the same series, compare it with the Yonex Power Cushion 65X 4th Gen badminton shoes. It is a men’s fit, with Yonex also offering wider-fit and women’s 65 Z4 versions for players who need a different shape.
