Made in India by Sunlight Sports Global Pvt. Ltd. and backed by the Hundred brand, Hundred Raze Badminton Shoes is specifically calibrated for Indian playing conditions and Indian court surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe X-Cushion multi-layered sole is what separates the Raze from a generic sports shoe. Rather than a single EVA layer, Hundred Raze Badminton Shoes uses a cushioned HexaFoam Pro midsole, a structural support plate, and an Active Grip rubber outsole — each doing a different job. The foam cushions, the plate stabilises lateral movement, and the Active Grip tread pattern provides multi-directional court traction. This architecture is standard in mid-range badminton shoes from established brands and simply absent from running shoes or general sports shoes at equivalent prices.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe base Raze does not include the Extended Heel Lock found in the Raze Pro — meaning rearfoot containment is standard rather than reinforced. For players training 2–3 sessions per week at moderate intensity, this is entirely adequate. For players training 4+ times per week with intensive footwork or those with heel sensitivity, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/hundred-raze-pro-badminton-shoes\/\"\u003eRaze Pro\u003c\/a\u003e is the more appropriate choice.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eAt its price point, Hundred Raze Badminton Shoes is one of the strongest value badminton shoes available in India — genuine court architecture, India-made quality, and Hundred's brand backing, all at a price accessible to recreational and club players alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnology Breakdown of Hundred Raze Badminton Shoes:\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eX-Cushion Multi-Layered Sole System:\u003c\/strong\u003e A three-layer sole construction: HexaFoam Pro cushioned midsole (over 1 inch depth) + structural support plate + Active Grip rubber outsole. Each layer handles a distinct requirement — the foam cushions landing impact, the plate provides torsional stability under lateral loads, and the rubber outsole provides court grip. This is the fundamental architecture difference between a proper court shoe and a general sports shoe.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHexaFoam Pro Midsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e A dense foam compound over 1 inch thick that provides meaningful shock absorption on jump smash landings and consistent support through training sessions. Firm enough not to worsen overpronation, deep enough to cushion genuine court impact. Designed to maintain its performance characteristics over regular use rather than compressing flat within the first few months.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive Grip Rubber Outsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% non-marking rubber with Hundred's Active Grip tread pattern engineered for multi-directional traction on indoor court surfaces. Provides grip on lateral pushes, sudden stops, and pivot movements on PU synthetic, wooden, and vinyl courts. Non-marking — compatible with all standard Indian clubs and academies.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePU + Mesh + Synthetic Leather Upper:\u003c\/strong\u003e A composite upper using PU panels for structure, mesh zones for breathability, and synthetic leather overlays for shape retention at the toe box and lateral sides. The combination keeps the shoe lightweight while maintaining structural integrity through the foot movements specific to badminton.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eShoe Finder — Is Hundred Raze Badminton Shoes Right for You?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeginner or Recreational Player Buying Their First Proper Badminton Shoe:\u003c\/strong\u003e You are new to badminton or play casually 1–2 times a week. Hundred Raze Badminton Shoes provides every foundational court feature — non-marking outsole, multi-layer midsole, support plate, Active Grip traction — at a price that makes sense for recreational use. The improvement over running shoes will be immediately noticeable on any Indian club court. No need to spend more until your playing frequency and intensity increases.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntermediate Player Training 2–3 Times a Week on a Budget:\u003c\/strong\u003e You play at club level regularly and want a genuine badminton shoe without spending Rs. 5,000 or more. The HexaFoam Pro midsole handles sessions up to 1.5–2 hours comfortably, the support plate stabilises lateral movement, and the Active Grip outsole maintains traction across standard court surfaces.

Very common among Indian players.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eLook for: Arch support · Firm midsole · Wide stable base · Torsion stabiliser · Removable insole for orthotics · Firm heel counter.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHundred Raze for Flat Feet: Good match. The X-Cushion system's support plate provides torsional stability that resists inward rolling during lateral lunges. The HexaFoam Pro midsole is firm enough not to worsen overpronation. For moderate-to-severe overpronation, an aftermarket arch insole in the removable insole slot meaningfully improves support. Players who also need rearfoot control may benefit from upgrading to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/hundred-raze-pro-badminton-shoes\/\"\u003eHundred Raze Pro\u003c\/a\u003e with its Extended Heel Lock.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh Arch (Underpronation \/ Supination):\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eWhat it is: Rigid, pronounced arch causing outward foot rolling.

The HexaFoam Pro midsole at over 1 inch depth provides meaningful cushioning that compensates for the reduced natural shock absorption of a high arch. The support plate is not an aggressive motion-control component — it provides structural stability without forcing the foot into an unnatural motion pattern. An aftermarket cushioned insole can further improve comfort for significant high arches.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003ePlantar Fasciitis (Heel and Arch Pain):\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eWhat it is: Inflammation of the plantar fascia. Sharp morning heel pain.

The X-Cushion multi-layered system distributes stride load and reduces direct stress on the plantar fascia. The support plate provides the firm arch base that plantar fasciitis management requires. For mild-to-moderate PF, the Raze is a solid choice, enhanced further by a heel cushion or arch support insert. For players who also have significant rearfoot instability, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/hundred-raze-pro-badminton-shoes\/\"\u003eRaze Pro's Extended Heel Lock\u003c\/a\u003e adds an additional layer of rearfoot control.

The HexaFoam Pro midsole provides adequate heel cushioning for players without established conditions. The base Raze does not include an Extended Heel Lock, meaning some rearfoot movement is possible during explosive play. For mild heel discomfort, a heel cup insert helps. For players with established Achilles tendon issues, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/hundred-raze-pro-badminton-shoes\/\"\u003eRaze Pro\u003c\/a\u003e offers better rearfoot containment through its Extended Heel Lock.

Standard last without a dedicated wide-fit designation. The PU, mesh, and synthetic leather upper is reasonably flexible and accommodates mildly wider feet. Hundred recommends sizing up by one for wide feet. For genuinely wide feet, Victor's U-Shape 3.0 range (e.g. the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/victor-a970td-badminton-shoes-black\/\"\u003eVictor A970TD\u003c\/a\u003e) is purpose-engineered for wider Indian foot profiles.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBadminton Range also at God of Sports:\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/hundred-raze-pro-badminton-shoes\/\"\u003eHundred Raze Pro Badminton Shoes\u003c\/a\u003e — upgraded version with Extended Heel Lock, recommended for 4+ sessions per week\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/hundred-phenom-badminton-shoes\"\u003eHundred Phenom Badminton Shoes\u003c\/a\u003e — entry-level Hundred court shoe\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/hundred-badminton-shoes\/\"\u003eHundred Badminton Shoes\u003c\/a\u003e — complete range of Hundred badminton shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/badminton-shoes\/\"\u003eBadminton Shoes\u003c\/a\u003e at God of Sports — complete range of badminton shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hundred","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43608674435162,"sku":null,"price":1492.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/3535\/3946\/files\/Hundred-Raze-Badminton-Shoes-Light-Blue-1.jpg?v=1783376739","url":"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/products\/hundred-raze-badminton-shoes-light-blue","provider":"God of Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
