Comfortable Cushioning for Fast Movements
In badminton, jumps, lunges, and fast starts often follow one another directly. This is exactly where POWER CUSHION+ comes in. The cushioning helps absorb hard landings more comfortably while supporting a dynamic feel for the next movement.
This makes the 65 Z4 feel comfortable without being unnecessarily soft or spongy – an important point when you want to move quickly and precisely on the court.
Stability During Fast Changes of Direction
Especially during fast stops and lateral movements, the shoe needs to reliably support the foot. Power Graphite Lite stabilizes the midfoot area, while the Lateral Shell provides extra support during sideways footwork.
This gives you a secure feel during fast changes of direction, without the shoe feeling unnecessarily stiff.
Secure Fit and High Wearing Comfort
The Inner Bootie construction wraps the foot comfortably and ensures the shoe stays securely in place even during intensive footwork.
The Seamless Upper reduces disruptive transitions in the upper material and supports a comfortable fit. This is a detail you quickly come to appreciate, especially during longer training sessions or tournament days.
Grip for Fast Footwork
In badminton, you're constantly moving in different directions – forward, sideways, diagonally, and back to your starting position.
The Radial Blade Sole is designed exactly for these fast movements and provides reliable grip on the badminton court. Combined with the Round Sole, the shoe supports fast, fluid movement sequences.
How Does the Yonex Power Cushion 65 Z4 VA Fit?
This model is the men's version with a regular fit. Within the 65-Z series, Yonex also offers models for wider or narrower feet.
If you've already played a regular Yonex Power Cushion 65 Z and were happy with the fit, the regular men's version is the right starting point.
Who Is the Yonex 65 Z4 VA For?
The Power Cushion 65 Z4 VA is especially interesting for players looking for a versatile shoe who don't want to commit to an extremely lightweight shoe or a particularly stiff stability shoe.
It's a great fit for:
- ambitious recreational and club players
- tournament players
- singles and doubles players
- players with fast, dynamic footwork
- players who value cushioning and stability
- fans of the Viktor Axelsen Collection
This versatility is exactly what has made the 65-Z series so popular for years: the shoe works for very different types of players and offers a balanced mix of comfort, stability, and mobility.
Viktor Axelsen Edition
The Yonex Power Cushion 65 Z4 VA Edition is part of the Viktor Axelsen Collection, combining the performance of the 65 Z4 with its own design.
The Silver/Navy version stands out clearly from the classic color options and is especially interesting for players who already want to play the 65 Z4 and are also looking for the Viktor Axelsen Collection look.
