TOKYO, Japan ―We are pleased to announce the resumption of sales for the badminton shoes POWER CUSHION 65 Z Series. Sales had been temporarily suspended due to a quality-related concern; however, the root cause has been identified and appropriate corrective actions have been completed. Production at our factory has since been resumed. Production at our factory has now restarted. 

Certain products manufactured between December 2024 and March 2025 were found to exhibit surface damage to the upper surface approximately one month after initial use. In response, we suspended sales and initiated a thorough investigation and corrective actions were undertaken. 

Our investigation identified the root cause, and we have implemented improvements including updates to both the manufacturing process and materials used. Products incorporating these improvements have been verified to meet our quality standards and will be shipped sequentially. 

Reshipped products are expected to return to store shelves around April 2026. 

Please note that the availability may vary depending on the store or region. 

At the same time, the POWER CUSHION 65 Z series from the VA Collection will also be released sequentially from around April 2026. 

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and concern this matter may have caused. 

As a brand dedicated to supporting athletes worldwide, we remain committed to strengthening the quality of our products. 

We appreciate your continued trust and support of our products.
