Hundred Phenom Badminton Shoes - White/Dark Grey/Light Green

The Hundred Phenom (HBFS-5M243-2) is a performance badminton shoe built as a complete solution for modern players. Rather than chasing the lightest, softest or most rigid design, Hundred made the Phenom an "everything shoe" that balances speed, stability, cushioning, durability and control – supporting explosive attacks, fast recoveries, aggressive lateral movement and long-match endurance equally well.

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 while resisting abrasion. Benefit: reliable grip and consistent court control.
• Thrust Foam heel cushioning – absorbs heavy landings and returns energy without compromising stability. Benefit: less joint stress and faster 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. Benefit: better balance and controlled movement.
• Z-Lock stability base – a stiffened foam structure that 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 prevent internal sliding during explosive starts and stops.
• ArmorMesh upper – combines breathability with structural support for cooler feet, a light feel and a secure, close fit.
• DuraCore reinforcement zones – reinforcement panels protect high-wear areas from abrasion without adding bulk, for a longer shoe life.
• Performance-tuned midsole geometry – balances cushioning, court feel and stability for smooth transitions between attack, defence and recovery, with less fatigue in long matches.
