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. 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. *Increase from the Hexa Grip Sole; tested by Yonex |

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 CUSHIONShock 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. |
