The AERUS series is built for players who value lightness and agility in their court shoes.
The AERUS Z2 continues the tradition of pushing the boundaries of weight and stability. This 5th generation model, weighing in at only 240 grams per shoe*, is the lightest badminton shoe from Yonex yet.
The slimmed down design features a Feather Light X sole, 12% lighter and with greater repulsion than previous models. Stability is ensured with the RADIAL BLADE SOLE, while the seamless upper design made of 100% recycled materials offers a perfect fit, flexibility, and breathability.
Not only is the AERUS Z2 light, stable, and eco-friendly, but it also converts the impact of each step into power for the next, thanks to the POWER CUSHION and 3D Power Graphite Drive. Available in men's, women's, and wide models, the AERUS Z2 also has an affordable

INNOVATION
FEATHER LIGHT X
FEATHER LIGHT X is Yonex’s lightest midsole material and is one of the key technologies in making the AERUS Z lighter while providing smooth, fluid footwork.
Seamless Upper
The upper is built with a single primary piece which is a combination of the Durable Skin Light, a strong and lightweight material, and the Double Raschel Mesh, a highly breathable fabric. The two materials are fused together using a vacuum-pressing method which enables the upper to be built with less material.
RADIAL BLADE SOLE
The grip pattern of the sole has been redesigned creating the RADIAL BLADE SOLE. By finely arranging a windmill shape that combines areas with large and small indentations, the weight of the shoe is dispersed, and the grip is improved by approximately 3%*. Resulting in a grip that supports quick dashes and sudden stops.
POWER CUSHION
The AERUS Z features a specially shaped wedge of POWER CUSHION in the heel designed specifically to absorb shock associated with the footwork of badminton. By improving shock absorption, our POWER CUSHION technology transforms impact into energy. A 28%* increase in shock absorption and a 62%** increase in repulsion when compared to the standard EVA materials.
3D Power Graphite Sheet
The sole of the AERUS Z is built with Power Graphite Sheet, a carbon sheet that prevents twisting of the foot and improves stability during the most strenuous of movements. Working together with POWER CUSHION , the absorbed impact power is converted into a propulsive force to help propel you into your next step.
*Measured with industry standard men’s 26.0 cm shoe.
