New asymmetrical upper design for a better and more comfortable fit. Eyelets in the upper shoe follow the curved shape of the instep, hugging the foot and allowing all of the stress on landing to be absorbed through the toes and instep giving you confidence in your footwork.
Flexible Durable Skin retains the shape of the upper shoe to help prevent any lateral movement of the foot.

A lightweight shock-absorbing material that gives comfort without the bulk. If a raw egg is dropped 7 metres above a POWER CUSHION mat, remarkably the egg does not break, instead it rebounds back to a height of 4 meters.
Years of design with constant development and testing ensure that YONEX footwear delivers the ultimate in performance, reliability and comfort. The smallest details can make the difference between triumph and defeat.
That’s why YONEX footwear is trusted by champions to deliver match-winning results.

The Quattro Fit System from YONEX addresses the four key areas that impact on fit.
Designed to reduce the excess space at the front of the shoe that is created by the smaller toes. Shaped shoe technology improves grip and power transfer when accelerating or stopping.
Re-shaped design at the heel and the mid-foot ensures the foot is held firmly for quick response and direct footwork.

Tough GuardTMIII: Extremely durable wear-resistant synthetic leather. Durable Skin: A polyurethane material offering improved high shape retention, wear-resistance and heat-resistance. Double Russel Mesh: Highly breathable open mesh. Lateral Claw: Reduces power loss when pushing hard against the court and improves stability by strengthening the sides of the shoe. Lateral Shell: Installed on the outer area of the upper, it prevents sliding at the edge of the sole. It reduces power loss, increases footwork response and creates smooth, fluid and offensive movement.Ergoshape: Removes pressure and provides a comfortable fit around the toes. Centre of gravity is shifted to the large toe – where most power is concentrated – for a painless fit that offers more speed in your step.
ToughBrid Light: The new ToughBrid Light offers an 11% drop in weight from the previous ToughBrid, while maintaining its cushioning, shape retention and high elasticity.Hyper msLite: Features a 10% reduction in weight over the past Super Feather Lite midsole material, while preserving a consistent shape over a long period of time. Power Graphite Lite: A carbon plate placed under the metatarsus for reduced weight as well as stability on landing. Solid E.V.A.: Featuring lightness and extra strength, this supporting material offers stability in the midsection of the shoe where the foot easily twists while in movement.E.V.A.: Midsole cushioning.
Synchro-Fit Insole: Offering extra support around the front of the heel and reducing the gap between the foot and shoe, the Synchro-Fit Insole ensures maximum grip and improves comfort and performance. POWER CUSHION Insole CF: Stretching from the metatarsus to the heel, it leaves no gaps and fits the shape of your foot perfectly.
Hexagrip: For agile and stable footwork, the Hexagrip pattern provides 3% more grip and is 20% lighter than standard sole material.Round Sole: The YONEX Round Sole is designed to provide all-around support for quick and smooth footwork. The Round Sole ensures smooth movements and the transfer of maximum energy.

*1: According to a study by Shinichiro Ishii, Associate Professor at Kanagawa University of Human Services, et al. *2: kgf is the metric unit of gravitational force exerted by one kilogram of mass.
SAFERUN 800 features the POWER CUSHION at the heel. The rounded shape offers smoother movement and reduced impact on landing.
The integrated diagonal suspension is designed to give the ideal landing by directing heel contact from the outside of the sole to the inside, straightening the lower leg.

Knee function is affected by physical changes. People in their 40’s and 60’s have 40-50% less knee joint cartilage than people in their 20’s.*1
Steps with zero ankle flexion prevent fatigue and missteps due to unsteady landings. The Toe-Light Design aids natural landings with no ankle flexion.
Weight gain increases the load on legs by 2.8 times. If a 20-year-old, 64kg male gains 10kg by his 40’s, the load on his legs will increase by approximately 3 times to 28kgf.*2
Aimed at users with a less muscular build, the balance point is located 15mm closer to the heel from the shoe’s centre for a lighter toe section and ideal landing angle. Tested with size 26.0cm shoes.
