Overview
After I started taking lessons again, one racing shoe stopped being enough. I needed something that survived drilling and still felt honest in mid-low intensity matches. Bonny Infinity 002 is that shoe — Chinese sources sometimes say only “Infinity series”; specs match the 002 catalogue row (3.0E last, EVA + TPU + carbon).
My pairs
- Size 41: internal length 265 mm, last 3.0E, about 311 g - Size 40 gold/white sample: about 274 g — light for the stack - Upper: hi-lo film + microfibre + sandwich mesh; big vents - Midsole: thick EVA + power pads, midfoot TPU + carbon - Outsole: cross / radial non-marking rubber with heel stop bar - Street price in the low ¥200s with midfoot carbon — serious for the money
Fit
Bonny’s usual wide last: forefoot does not crush, heel cup is hard and stable, tongue and collar padding are thick. Arch support and pad collapse/rebound are obvious when you press the toes. Film-heavy panels run warm over long summer days — still better than older Bonny training lasts I have worn (VG1 too wide/soft; Vibe-M wrap fades).
On court
Light enough that the shoe disappears on start — closer to speed lasts than the price suggests. Thick EVA + pads cushion ~65 kg comfortably; heavier players may eat the stack faster. TPU + carbon still refuses hand-fold. Grip matched higher tiers across two weeks with little rubber loss. Stop, turn, restart stay responsive; multi-point drill linking stays low load.
Verdict
Excellent training shoe that also covers mid-low intensity matches. Racing silhouette, real carbon, absurd value. Buy it for the multi-shoe bag — not as your only tournament armour.
