Hi Folks,

Since we got a good crowd from all over the world, can someone tell me if they have heard of Yonex AR-95 Court / Badminton shoes?

My aunt is offering to buy me a pair of AR95 from Hong Kong, but I already own a pair of SHB57 . . . what's the diff? I can't find info on the AR95 in either Yonex USA or Yonex Japan web page.

The AR95 is white with blue strips running down the side, standard gum bottom, and a smooth leather lip (not suede).

Are they any good? Please help . . .

AR shoes are the cheaper version of SHB shoes.
They're not good at all.

You can do a search for threads and you'll know what's the diff.

AR95 is the cheap version of the SHB95. the top are similar but have different soles. SHB95 is the best yonex shoe i've tried so far. ultra light and the ventillation is great. better than the SHB92.
