woooo, nice! but...ermm this shoes are for ladies rite? :D

[chgoh25]

new product of nike? has it been released into the market?

[LazyBuddy]

I saw some Nike shoes were distributed to several top club players here, about 1-2 years ago for demo purpose. They look very much like the one on the top (blue one). Not sure what the grade the players gave, though. :rolleyes:

[jcr2001]

Hey, you're the one who likes pink right? I'm assuming you want that pink nike shoe :P (2nd picture)

[glencomienda111]

looks lavander to me

[ToMitch]

Nike Shuttle Courts . . . they have both Men's & Ladies' versions, depends on the colors I think.

[vindikattor]

It looks pretty nice. But just like typical Nike shoes with low ankle cut, it doesn't look like it supports ankle well. Any comments for those who have bought Nike Shuttle Courts?

[wantedman]

those look pretty cool

[Smichz]

looks weird for me.I bet nike's shoes will be so expensive in asia,if it's out.Prefer yy,kason,sotx shoes...

[ToMitch]

Here in the Philippines, the Shuttle Court's are about half the price of some Mizuno & Yonex shoes.

There was a thread about this last July.

http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34821

Seems that Queensway are selling the shoes for around S$80 according to that thread but I've not noticed them at all.

Found some other variations.

I had the nike demos before. I recommend for those buying a pair to take out the insole and replace it with something else. They put like some glue to keep the insole in there but it doesn't really help much with all the lunging we do in badminton. If you don't take it out, you'll end up with glue on your sock which is annoying to take off.

sorry I forgot attached PIC :D

excellent. I use mine for few months and I'm pleased with it. I've not tried any yonex shoes but comparing to any other I used this pair is cool and not slippery at all. It suits me best as its a bit wider to fit my wide feet.

[Z1985]

I have been using this shoes since like 2 yrs ago and it is really gd.
definitely built to last! wore it for 2 yrs and the only prob here is that the sole is abit slippery now. normally i change shoes every 6-9months cuz of the friction factor. now i got myself a new pair! and exact same model. jus that i cant find the black/white version anymore. my new pair is silver/white

Do you clean the soles with water once in a while?

[LouisW]

I'm waiting the "Raketa"

[tamunny]

there is anti slipping liquid available in the market and you may use them to not slip. and dont use them outside playing in the court.

The courts mainly get dusty so this anti-slipping liquid might not work for the places i play at. I just prefer to wash the soles of my shoes before each session.

[volcom]

These shoes are very cheap in China, only like 350RMB from Official Nike stores.
Damnit should've bought a pair when I was there, the only reason was the design in real life is not very stylish at all......

[Terraglow]

its a nice shoe....
i have 1 pair...
it is light and flexible...
good shoe

[Ruth-Less]

Nice...I love that signature swoosh!

[TNBRE]

About how much would these shoes be in USD? And would they be availible anywhere in the US (ie in a Nike outlet store)?

[Joseph]

You should be able to just walk into a Nike outlet and buy the shoes. But I would call to verify stock before even trying.

[TNBRE]

Thanks Joseph! The shoes do look awesome but.. $90?! If they could lower the price a little bit I would go for it... maybe next Christmas.... :D

[Stinkiray]

I'm waiting the "Raketa"

I didn't see the Raketa anywhere, is it even released yet? Or maybe they don't have it where I am...♠

[illusionistpro]

I spoke with a manager from niketown sf, and she said they dont stock these anywhere. Now this is a 3 story (maybe 4 story?) nike store, and they dont even have it. They have shoes all the way back from the 90's but dont carry the raketa. I doubt an outlet will carry these. They did offer me the option to order them, have them shipped there for free and I can return them if i didnt like, but I would have to pay up front for the order. Im still holding out to see if the white light version is going to be released.

[jpazn23]

WHOA!! The racketas look like vintage nike design, with bold colors and a design similar to the Air Maxes...wait I'm not writing an ad for them.:D

Anyways back to the topic. Anyone know when the Raketa will be in US markets and the cost? Also how does the Nike Air Zoom Speed 8.0 compare to other badminton shoes of the same price? And where can I get a pair of the Nike Court Shuttles? Should I get either pair? I play competitively on a highschool Var team. (Note:Using Nike Zoom Tri-D's for badminton and they suck for lunges.)

I'm happy that Nike is getting into the badminton market. Now I can still look like a shoe head while I'm playing badminton. :D:D;):D:D;):D:D

[illusionistpro]

A week or two ago, i saw another prototype nike shoe and one manager told me the gym owner is pushing nike to produce them so thats why they're still floating around. Dont take my word for it, im just saying what i heard.

[jpazn23]

Well I'm going to Nike World HQ employee store in Oregon sometime within this summer so I will check there. If they dont have it there. Then I dont think they have it anywhere in the US :]

Again, they do have shoes out, they are the red/black or gray/green, and then there are the womens colors too. They have a few prototype shoes floating around, and those of course wouldnt be at their employee store.

[wenaz]

Been using Nike indoor court shoes for 1.5 years now. I play weekly. Love them, durable and still have good grip. My previous shoes become slippery in 1 year or less.

[mandm]

Can anyone tell me where i can find these in UK?
cheers

[LouisW]

sad news is the Nike Raketa does not come in mass production.

the raketa is so COOOOOLLLL.

[jpazn23]

NOOOO! So I am guessing they are exclusives and possibly tier-0?
I was soo looking forward into buying them. :crying::crying::crying:

I have been to their Beaverton HQ employee store many times, never seen a badminton shoes. If you find one, let me know. I bought a pair Nike multi-court shoe years back. It was good (similar feeling with my yonex one) and last much longer.

[demolidor]

The Air Zoom Speed 8.0 is the other badminton shoe (next to raketa), same one as illusionistpro is talking about red/black & grey/greenish. No longer available in the Nike online store ... http://store.nike.com/index.jsp?country=US&lang_locale=en_US&l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-100701/pid-207393/pgid-255515

That's a given... but are they really suited to badminton? :p

[77suns]

And my GF just blast me yesterday when is her new badminton shoe coming after i tried gluing back but failed. In the end i just cough out $50 for her to buy a temporary shoe while i was rushing for a game and she happily went shopping after i promised to get her a another better one again this weekend :crying::crying::crying:

[demolidor]

You CAN actually get a pair from Etakoh but color wise I am not too sure.

I don't really remember the details but yes I think you are right. But heck I will NEVER ever purchase Nike shoes in my life due to the bad durability issue. :mad:

[l_i_a_m]

this pair of Nike badminton shoes used heavily for two and half years, condition was still good, the grip was still ok, just a little bit dirty. I find it suprisingly durable :)
