Kanso EQ Fly White – Technical Specification & Description
Weight
-
Approximately 328 grams per shoe (UK size 8)
Upper Construction
-
Designed with an ultra-lightweight synthetic upper, the EQ Fly features welded TPU reinforcements in high-stress zones for added durability without sacrificing flexibility or weight.
-
The brand’s signature side emblem functions as an exoskeletal support frame, providing enhanced lateral stability during quick directional changes.
-
The heel area is engineered with dual-density padding: soft memory foam at the lower heel for impact absorption, and a higher-density “T80” foam collar for a secure and comfortable fit.
-
A molded internal heel cup ensures excellent rearfoot lockdown, minimizing heel slippage during high-intensity play.
Midsole & Cushioning Technology
-
Equipped with a SpeedLight Foam (SLF) midsole, offering high responsiveness and energy return to support fast-paced movement and reduce fatigue.
-
A SA+ shock-absorbing heel insert is embedded in the rearfoot to cushion landings and protect joints from repetitive impact.
-
Integrated TPU torsion unit provides midfoot rigidity, supporting controlled pivots and lateral stability during explosive maneuvers.
Outsole & Traction
-
Constructed with Superwear ID rubber, a high-grip, durable compound designed specifically for indoor court surfaces such as wood and synthetic flooring.
-
The multidirectional tread pattern enhances traction and grip during rapid lateral and diagonal movements, reducing the risk of slips or missteps.
-
A low-profile outsole geometry keeps the foot closer to the ground, improving stability, ground contact, and agility during sudden directional changes.
Design Philosophy & Intended Use
-
The EQ Fly is engineered for athletes in indoor court sports such as badminton, squash, floorball, and pickleball, where quick footwork, lateral agility, and responsive cushioning are critical.
-
The fit is designed to be snug and supportive, reducing internal foot movement to improve control and prevent blisters during extended or intense sessions.
-
The shoe reflects Kanso's minimalist design philosophy, combining technical performance features with a clean, functional aesthetic, emphasizing purpose-driven engineering over excess styling.
