POWER CUSHION DIAL 88 2 WIDE 2023
With the concept to breed footwork performance through optimal fit, the POWER CUSHION 88 DIAL will receive updates in its tech in preparation for a rolling global release kicking off at the end of January 2022. The 88 DIAL 2 takes inspiration from the POWER CUSHION INFINITY by focusing on optimizing the shoe’s fit with the application of the BOA© Fit System. A better connection with the shoe allows a better connection with the court – simply rotate the single-dial BOA© Fit System and intricately apply even pressure on the foot for a precise and balanced fit.
Hosting the BOA© Fit System is an inner bootie construct with an overwrap built of the new Durable Skin Light, a thin yet sturdy thermo-compressed film. With the introduction of this new material, the pattern of the wrap is expanded, tucking the foot in for a more comfortable yet secure experience from the inner arch to the top of the foot. The Radial Blade Sole, which made its debut on the stability-driven ECLIPSION in spring 2021, is applied to improve traction between the shoe and the court. This proprietary sole now brings a 3%* increase in traction to the 88 DIAL. POWER CUSHION+ in the heel plays a key role in converting each step into energy for the next move. Compared to standard EVA materials, the POWER CUSHION+ takes the impact of a step and absorbs 28% more shock while kicking back 62% more repulsion for the next step. This protects your body from strong impacts while propelling you forward for longer. The POWER CUSHION 88 DIAL will arrive in multiple colorways – the Black/Red and Turquoise/Grey for 3E, and Matte White for 4E wide fit. |

TECHNOLOGY
BOA© Fit System + Durable Skin Light The BOA© Fit System allows you to tighten the shoes evenly with a single action, making them easy to put on and take off. The new upper design holds the ankle from the inner arch to the top of the foot, creating a more enveloping fit. Durable Skin Light is a flexible yet strong film that is thermo-compressed. It is applied onto the wrap to provide an improved, secure fit with soft comfort. |
|
RADIAL BLADE SOLE The Radial Blade Sole is a sole with a windmill-like pattern. This sole allows subtle movement at impact in the blade portion of the pattern, generating stronger grip with the court surface. With an approximately 3%* increase in grip compared to the Hexa Grip Sole, the Radial Blade Sole supports quick dashes and sudden stops. *Tested by Yonex |

POWER CUSHION
Shock Absorption The YONEX Power Cushion absorbs shock then reverses the impact energy for smooth transfer into the next movement.Compared with urethane, the YONEX Power Cushion construction provides 3 times more shock absorbing power. When dropped from 7m above a Power Cushion sheet, an egg will bounce back 4m without damage. |

Semi One-Piece SolePreviously separated, the outer rubber of the sole tread and heel are now integrated. This increases the area of contact for more grip and stability. |
