The Graphite Throttle is designed to be a prototype to create awareness of the new technology. It is not designed for badminton or tennis, but more of a casual shoe. The technology will be implemented in the new Badminton Shoe in March 2026 and New Tennis Shoes in Jan 2027.
The new “Grpht Thrttl” structure in Yonex shoes brings together graphite technology and advanced cushioning, blending expertise from racquet and snowboard development with more than 25 years of POWER CUSHION innovation.
Grpht Thrttl is both a breakthrough technology and the first flagship concept shoe created for people to experience it directly. This innovation channels energy to key areas of the sole to deliver greater return, stability, and comfort, seamlessly bridging the worlds of sport and everyday life.
A Defining Moment for Yonex Footwear
This model represents a turning point in Yonex footwear DNA. It is not just another launch, but a redefinition of how Yonex envisions shoes. It is also the foundation for all future Yonex footwear development.
Driven by Innovation
The Grpht Thrttl structure is designed to operate like a throttle, allowing you to regulate power with ease. At its core are two Yonex-exclusive innovations that redefine how energy flows.
POWER CUSHION REV: the most responsive cushioning Yonex has ever developed, delivering a 37% increase in shock absorption and 42% greater repulsion than previous lightweight midsoles, without adding weight. The result is plush comfort that transforms impact into forward motion. POWER GRAPHITE: A carbon plate integrated with the cushion enhancing lateral stability and forward propulsion,while flexing optimally for badminton and tennis movements,and everyday walking. This key innovation debuts here and will be carried forward into future competition models that adopt the same breakthrough construction.
For Active Lives On and Off the Court
The Grpht Thrttl concept shoe is made for active lifestyles, from tennis and badminton players to anyone seeking versatile comfort. Every design element balances performance and sustainability, with an engineered mesh upper for breathability, a low-rebound insole for personalized comfort, and a high-cut silhouette inspired by Yonex heritage. All mesh and laces are made from recycled polyester. Lightweight for everyday wear and light on-court play.
