Shoes Kawasaki K1B01-D32049 white/black

Kawasaki KACE K1B01-D32049 are indoor court shoes from the Stable Protection Master series — combining cushioning, stability and low weight for dynamic play.

The Kawasaki KACE K1B01-D32049 shoes are made for players who demand full support from indoor footwear in the toughest situations: rapid changes of direction, lunges, jumps and sudden stops. This model belongs to the KACE "Stable Protection Master" series, where every element — from upper to sole — serves three goals: stable protection, cushioning and speed. The striking white/black colourway with red accents suits not only badminton but also other indoor court sports such as squash and pickleball.

The high-density, high-fibre, high-stretch upper is built from TPEE, polyurethane elastomer TPU and polyester fibre. A breathable polyester mesh channels heat and moisture away for comfort during long play, while elastic TPU support wraps the foot and reinforces the structure in key areas. Soft padding around the heel and ankle further stabilises the foot — "like being gently embraced" — and a scientifically shaped last (foot mold) provides proper room at the toe.

At the heart of the cushioning is the Kawasaki High Elasticity midsole (PHYLON) together with a Power Cushion module — highly elastic, lightweight and shock-absorbing. It protects the knees and ankles while boosting start-up speed and jumping power. Stability comes from the Rear Suspension System — a "racing-car suspension chassis" — which absorbs landing energy and stabilises the foot during lateral movements.

Rigidity and control come from a carbon-fibre torsion plate in the midfoot: on 45° lunge shots it provides stable support for push-off and prevents loss of balance during sudden stops and direction changes. The hollow carbon structure in the midfoot reduces outsole weight, while a rigid, torsion-resistant TPU sheet (Arch Stability System) reinforces arch support.

Everything sits on a wear-resistant rubber outsole with a multi-directional anti-slip pattern in a non-marking version — ideal for indoor courts and wooden floors. These are shoes for players who want to push off with confidence, land stably and keep their feet fresh throughout the whole match.

Frequently asked questions – Kawasaki KACE K1B01-D32049

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes. The shoes have a non-marking wear-resistant rubber outsole — it leaves no marks on the floor, making it ideal for indoor courts.

Are these shoes only for badminton?

No — thanks to the non-marking sole, cushioning and stability, they also work well for other indoor court sports such as squash and pickleball.

Do they cushion well and protect the joints?

Yes. The high-elasticity midsole (PHYLON) and Rear Suspension System absorb landing shock, protecting the knees and ankles.

Do they provide stability on direction changes?

Yes. The carbon-fibre torsion plate and TPU sheet stabilise the foot during lunges, jumps and sudden stops, reducing the risk of twisting.

Are the shoes breathable?

Yes. The polyester-fibre upper with breathable mesh channels heat and moisture away for comfort during long play.

How should I choose my size?

The shoes come in EUR 35–46. We recommend choosing by insole length; if you have wider feet, consider going half a size up.
