The ultimate guide to choosing your Yonex tennis shoe
Choosing a Yonex shoe means trusting revolutionary cushioning technology. The brand has then applied its expertise to two flagship models so that every player can find the shoe that best suits their priorities on the court. Here's our experts' analysis.
The Power Cushion+: a technology unique in the world
This is the signature of Yonex. The anecdote, proven by the brand, is famous: a raw egg dropped from 12 meters onto a Power Cushion+ pad bounces to a height of 6 meters without breaking. On the court, this translates to exceptional shock absorption that protects your joints, and energy return that propels you faster toward the next ball. It's a unique blend of comfort and dynamism.
The Yonex Eclipsion 5 is the shoe for competitive and powerful players who demand superior support and stability. Worn by players like Casper Ruud and Hubert Hurkacz, it's designed to secure even the most aggressive movements thanks to its reinforced structure. It's the shoe of confidence, a true fortress for your feet.
The Yonex Sonicage 3 is the lightest and most comfortable shoe in the range. It's designed for club players and agile players who prioritize comfort and flexibility. Its flexible fit and Power Cushion+ cushioning make it feel like playing in slippers, while still providing the responsiveness needed for quick footwork.

Our expert's opinion: "The magic of Power Cushion+"
"What truly sets Yonex apart is the Power Cushion+ cushioning. It's present in both models, but its effects are different. In the Eclipsion, it provides incredible comfort to an ultra-stable shoe, a real advantage over some competitors. In the Sonicage, it contributes to a feeling of lightness and responsiveness. The choice is simple: want a stable shoe with superb cushioning? Choose the Eclipsion. Want a comfortable and responsive shoe? Choose the Sonicage."
