Verdict
The yellow spin frame club players still mean when they say Aero—Gen9 is a bit more muted than the 2023 beast, still the clearest primary demo in the spin lane.
One of the lightest clay shoes with a durability guarantee (12.7 oz, 6-month outsole warranty) and a full herringbone DX Rubber bottom, but it's a slim, low-profile speed shoe, not a plush do-everything option.
Medvedev’s stock French control 98 — denser 18×19 aim, foam-connected feel, and a swingweight drop that finally makes the 305 usable for serious club players.
