Yonex Power Cushion 65Z Women 4th Gen Badminton Shoes

The Yonex Power Cushion 65Z Women 4th Gen, also known as the 65 Z4 Women’s, is an indoor badminton shoe built on a women’s-specific fit. It is a performance-focused all-rounder from Yonex’s 65 series, combining cushioning, stability and grip for regular training and competitive play. It is an update on the previous 65 Z3 model, with a seamless upper for a more secure fit.

Cushioning comes from Power Cushion+, Yonex’s shock-absorbing midsole material that absorbs impact and returns energy into the next movement. Feather Bounce Foam adds a lightweight, high-repulsion layer to support quick, agile footwork, helping reduce the strain of repeated lunges and landings.

A lightweight Power Graphite Lite plate in the midfoot adds stability and helps reduce twisting on landing, while the Lateral Shell on the outside of the forefoot prevents the foot sliding at the edge of the sole, so less power is lost on sideways pushes. The Round Sole shape supports quick, smooth footwork.

The seamless synthetic leather upper is designed to improve fit and reduce strain from seams, while Double Raschel Mesh adds breathability. Together, they aim to keep the foot comfortable through long sessions. Underneath, the rubber outsole features Yonex’s Radial Blade Sole pattern, designed to increase traction when starting, stopping and changing direction. The midsole is synthetic resin.

The women’s version uses a shape tailored to women’s feet, aiming for a secure, comfortable fit. If you would like a more everyday unisex option from the same series, compare it with the Yonex Power Cushion 65X 4th Gen badminton shoes.
