It is said that this model is more lighter than SHB F1. I already tried SHB F1Neo, they are indeed light. Faster footwork, but what about the safety or cushioning when it became too light? Well, here's a pictures for thoughts. Source : FB
With the yellow ones especially, the top half looks like a minimalist running shoe. However saying that, I do quite like the look of them. I can see the desire for lighter shoes, but Yonex must be careful not to skimp on cushioning and support in the pursuit of lightness. Like the car manufacturer Lotus, Yonex seems to be employing the philosophy of "Simplify and add lightness". However, whilst this practice can work wonders in some cases, with Yonex especially let's hope they don't charge more for less.
I heard that they are the successor to the F1's, to be named F2... Able to clarify? I'm not much certain at all.
is this for next year? Are there shoes with good cushioning in that catalog? Or that Aerus shoes already have good cushioning...
They're for the autumn-winter lineup, should be released around the Japan Open (September). They're listed as having the power cushion technology, same as the rest, but they're designed to be extremely light-weight so maybe some compromise has been made. Hard to tell before someone can test them and report back. As far as I'm aware the only other new shoe slated for release this time around is the Momota SHB-02 (the purple/yellow colour variant), which is top-of-the-line with great cushioning, of course.
So it seems! Hadn't watched the videos from Taipei yet. I wonder if it's a "permanent" switch or if he's just testing them. edit: picture
Biggest picture that I could see recently, thus sharing. Cameo by SHB87LTD, because why not. cr. Master Badminton Club.
There is also an LCW logo at the back (Looks like it.. but it is blackened).. Will it be his special new shoes??
Great findings there. So...4 legends, 4 personal zf2, collectors are getting some hard time on their wallet there. P.S the red SC6 looks SICK! It's so SHARP!
They look too similar to my shb 02 . That ZF-II PG looks similar to my old VT-7. Basically I was cool before being cool was even cool.
So I guess the mystery is solved which shoes LCW is wearing in the new Duora promotion video. Love the looks of those yellow SHB Aerus! I'm curious when they will be available in Europe since my trusted Victor SHA9000 slowly start to show some serious wear and tear and I have almost lost the hope that Victor will bring the SH-920/930 to Europe.
