Hundred Phenom Badminton Shoes - Black/Yellow

The Hundred Phenom Badminton Shoes HBFS‑5M243‑1 in Black/Yellow are built as a complete performance shoe for modern badminton players. Rather than chasing the lightest, softest or most rigid design, Hundred made the Phenom an "everything shoe" – balancing speed, stability, cushioning, durability and control for explosive attacks, fast recoveries, aggressive lateral movement and long matches. It marks Hundred's entry into the professional performance category.

Key Features

• Goodyear® DuraGrip Outsole – developed with Goodyear, a specialised rubber compound that balances aggressive traction with long-term durability; the tread supports rapid direction changes and resists abrasion for reliable grip and court control.
• Thrust Foam Heel Cushioning – absorbs heavy landings and returns energy without compromising stability, reducing joint stress and speeding recovery between movements.
• Carbon‑Kinetic Support Plate – integrated into the base to improve torsional resistance and midfoot stability, keeping the foot aligned during aggressive lateral shifts and defensive reactions.
• Z‑Lock Stability Base – a stiffened foam structure at the base increases torsional resistance for a firm, anchored feel during fast side-to-side movement.
• Skeletal Insole System – a sculpted insole that follows the foot's contours with built-in arch support; foam-padded forefoot ridges stop the foot sliding inside the shoe during explosive starts and stops.
• ArmorMesh Upper – breathable yet structured, for airflow with a secure, close fit, a lightweight feel and unrestricted movement.
• DuraCore Reinforcement Zones – reinforcement panels protect high-wear areas from abrasion without adding bulk, for a longer shoe lifespan.
• Performance‑Tuned Midsole Geometry – shaped to balance cushioning, court feel and stability, for smooth transitions between attack, defence and recovery with less fatigue in long matches.

Performance Overview

When studying the professional market, Hundred found that every shoe excelled at something, but none excelled at everything. The Phenom was designed around the full performance needs of professional players and avoids extremes in favour of balance:

• Stability without stiffness
• Cushioning without loss of court feel
• Durability without excess weight
• Speed without sacrificing control

The result is a shoe that performs consistently across every phase of play, from explosive attacks to defensive recovery and extended rallies. This is not a specialist shoe – it is a complete performance platform for serious badminton players.
