Yonex Subaxia GT

Yonex Subaxia GT – A New Generation of Badminton Shoes

A new direction from Yonex

With the Yonex Subaxia GT, Yonex introduces a fresh performance badminton shoe for 2026. Instead of refining existing models, this shoe was developed from the ground up to support modern, high-intensity badminton.

Cushioning is no longer just about comfort. In the Yonex Subaxia GT, it plays an active role in speed, power and stability during every movement.

Built for fast, aggressive badminton

Badminton is faster than ever. Explosive starts, sharp direction changes and repeated jumps define today’s game.
The Yonex Subaxia GT is designed for players who want to stay in control under these conditions.

Key focus points:

• fast acceleration
• stability during high-impact movements
• lightweight and responsive feel
• efficient power transfer

Power starts from the ground

The Yonex Subaxia GT is engineered to reuse energy instead of wasting it. Impact energy from landings is absorbed and redirected into the next movement.

This results in:

• quicker first steps
• more lift during jumps
• stronger attacking shots

GRPHT Thrttl: energy and control combined

At the heart of the Yonex Subaxia GT lies GRPHT Thrttl, a new Yonex footwear technology combining graphite reinforcement with high-rebound cushioning.

This construction:

• absorbs impact efficiently
• returns energy instantly during push-off
• keeps the foot stable during explosive actions

A performance-focused construction

Rather than relying on isolated technologies, the Yonex Subaxia GT works as a complete system:

• responsive midsole
• supportive yet flexible upper
• outsole designed for directional control

Every part contributes to efficient movement and reduced energy loss.

Upper: secure, adaptive and comfortable

The upper wraps the foot securely while allowing natural movement:

• adaptive forefoot for flexibility
• lateral support for quick cuts
• seamless heel area to reduce friction

Midsole tuned for high load

Repeated jumping and landing demand protection without slowing the player down.
The Yonex Subaxia GT midsole features:

• extra heel cushioning
• separated forefoot and heel structure
• firm, responsive forefoot for push-off

Outsole for controlled footwork

The outsole supports natural weight transfer, improving:

• first-step speed
• stability at the net
• balance during landings

Who is the Yonex Subaxia GT for?

The Yonex Subaxia GT is ideal for:

• committed club players
• competitive and tournament players
• attacking badminton players
• those who want cushioning without sacrificing explosiveness
