Power Cushion 65Z Women VA

Yonex Power Cushion 65Z Women VA Badminton Shoes

The Yonex Power Cushion 65Z Women VA is a women’s indoor badminton shoe from the Viktor Axelsen Collection, developed with the Olympic champion and built on Yonex’s 65 Z4 platform. It uses a women’s fit and aims for a close, near barefoot feel, combining an inner bootie with a larger seamless upper.

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

Power Graphite Lite adds stability and helps reduce twisting on landing, while the Lateral Shell limits foot movement at the edge of the sole so less power is lost on sideways pushes. The inner bootie wraps the foot from the metatarsal to the heel for a secure but gentle fit, and the Synchro-Fit Insole narrows the gap between foot and shoe with extra support around the heel.

The synthetic leather upper has expanded seamless zones that reduce irritation inside the shoe, helping the shoe move with your foot through deep lunges. Underfoot, the rubber outsole has an ergonomic shape designed to improve flexibility and support dash power and quick footwork. The midsole is synthetic resin.

This is a signature-edition shoe for players who want a performance-focused, close-fitting court shoe in a women’s fit. For the standard version of the platform, see the Yonex Power Cushion 65Z Women 4th Gen badminton shoes.
