Summarizing 15 Different Hundred Badminton Shoe Models in 5 mins

Hundred recently ran their big “Now or Never Sale” on September 7th (it’s live if you’re reading it today). And if you’ve checked their website, you probably noticed that there are a ton of shoe models to pick from. Blade, Court, Zoom… it can get confusing real quick.

I’ve been down this rabbit hole myself, and after trying several pairs and talking to way too many badminton players about their shoe choices, here’s what I wish someone had told me before I started buying.

If You’re Just Getting Started (Under ₹1200)

Court Flyer (₹999) – This is where I tell most beginners to start. Yeah, it’s basic, but it does the job without making your wallet cry. Seven color options too, which is nice because let’s be honest, we all care a bit about how our shoes look on court.

Court Star (₹1,190) – If you can stretch your budget by 200 bucks, go for this instead. I’ve seen so many people stick with these even after they’ve gotten better at the game. There’s something about them that just works.

Court Shield (₹1,099) – The middle child that actually deserves more attention. Better cushioning than the Flyer, and your feet will thank you after those longer practice sessions.

Court Champions (₹1,099) – These are the “fun” shoes. Great if you’re the type who plays once a week and wants something that looks good in your Instagram stories.

The Sweet Spot Range (₹1300–₹1700)

This is where things get interesting. You’re not breaking the bank, but you’re getting shoes that can actually keep up with serious play.

Blade (₹1,290) – Here’s the thing about this one: it’s 58% off right now. That’s not a typo. I’ve seen people use these for training and they hold up really well. If you’re on the fence about anything, this discount makes the decision for you.

Blade Lite (₹1,390) – I love recommending these to people who play a fast game. If you’re always rushing to the net or you hate feeling weighed down, this is your shoe. Just don’t expect them to last if you’re playing every single day.

Court Zoom (₹1,399) – Made for quick movements, especially if you spend most of your time at the front of the court. I know a few doubles players who swear by these.

Infinity Pro (₹1,590) – The name sounds marketing-y, but they’re actually solid all-around shoes. Good for people who can’t decide what type of player they are yet.

Court Star Pro (₹1,690) – Think of this as the Court Star’s older sibling who went to college and got their life together. More stable, looks more professional, costs more. Worth it if you play regularly.

Getting Serious (₹1700–₹2000)

Raze Pro (₹1,790) – This is their bestseller, and I get why. They look aggressive (in a good way), grip like crazy, and can handle whatever you throw at them. The black/orange combo is particularly sharp.

Blade Lite II (₹1,790) – The “improved version” that’s actually improved. They kept what worked about the original and fixed what didn’t. If you liked the first Blade Lite but wanted more cushioning, here you go.

Xoom (₹1,790) – Bold is the right word for these. They definitely make a statement on court. Performance-wise, they deliver on comfort and grip.

Xoom II (₹1,890) – More stable than the original Xoom. Good if you found the first version a bit too bouncy.

Blade Pro (₹1,890) – The premium version of their classic design. Built to last through those marathon training sessions.

Their premium range (₹1900–₹2200)

Xoom Pro (₹1,990) – These are for people who play hard and play often. The cushioning is next level, and they can handle high-intensity games without falling apart.

Velocity (₹2,190) – HNDRD’s flagship shoe, and honestly, it shows. If you’re playing tournaments or just want the best they offer, this is it. The price reflects that, but so does the quality.

For the Little Ones

Court Star – Kids (₹1,499) – Finally, a kids’ badminton shoe that doesn’t look like a hand-me-down from the adult section. Proper sizing and grip for young players.

What I’d Actually Buy

If I had to choose right now?

• Tight budget: Court Star (that extra ₹190 over the Flyer is worth it)
• Best value: Blade at 58% off (seriously, one of the best shoes in this range)
• All-around choice: Raze Pro (there’s a reason it’s their bestseller)
• Probably the best overall: Velocity (if you’re investing in your game)

The Bottom Line

HNDRD isn’t trying to be Nike or Yonex, and that’s actually refreshing. They make decent shoes at prices that don’t require you to skip meals (lol). With discounts up to 58% off today only, it’s honestly a good time to try them out.

Just remember, the best shoe is the one that fits your foot, your game, and your budget. Don’t get caught up in having the most expensive pair if a cheaper one works better for you.
