YONEX GRPHT THRTTL Graphite Throttle (Casual Shoes) 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.
