Yes. It was a really tiny store. And they gave me a business card with their website which is "racquetforce.com". So I'm guessing it's the same store. I believe it's in Mong kok.
I've spotted them in Germany. 139€... that is more than just steep. Fortunately I get them for a lot less. Still, I really don't appreciate this development. Less shoe for more money. 139€! I still can remember how I paid 80 bucks for top end shoes. What went wrong here?
I used SH9000ACE for almost 2 years (2012 - 2013), and currently play with SHP9100 for the last 1.5 months. I cant feel any difference between these 2 shoes in terms of protection and support. Both models provide similar qualities in these fields. I believe that SHP9100 is more comfortable (better) in terms of cushioning, compared to SH9000. In addition, SHP9100 is also slightly wider for my feet. However, the laces of SHP9100 seems to be loosen compared to SH9000.
Vacilating between these (in FG colourway) and the SH-LYD in green. Turns out we won't get the LYD in time for the All England, so the decision seems to have been made for me.
That's where you're wrong - he's looking at them as well. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the UK only got the yellow ones, though, and skipped the other two - the Yonex 92 yellows sold better than all their other shoes put together in 2012.
Here we go... This sad story happened in my FIRST session. It was rather an easy training session. 1 hour netkill training and 1 hour just free playing time. It's obviously that my habit is to slide my left foot, especiall if I'm going forward to the net. It's sad to see that the colours went off that fast. Yes, right after the first session. Let's see if it's colour quality issue only or not. Let's hope the leather lasts longer. That's really sad since this is one of the most beautiful model available.
Lol yes, how ironic I think I should have written "happened during my first session", right? That was a mistake, I think. Please excuse my not flawless english However. That's kinda sad, because I was going to buy this shoe in another colour. If the leather material sucks like the colour coat on it, I'll probably head back to SH-8500. For all SH-8500 owners: This shoe is pretty similar to SH-8500. It's quite comfortable since it's not too tight on the sides. Oh yes, I forgot. The slogan of this shoe is: Shine bright like a diamond! Not sure if it's a legal move if you show your bling bling heel to your opponent to blind / irritate him
In first session is just as correct as during. Man, if I get this shoe I'll be duct taping that part first before getting on court! And the shiny heel would probably blind your partner behind you more than the opponents in front. Btw, what type of floor do you play on?
Just received my order of my SH9100 D along with my Lin Dan Hero II AYAH009-1 to replace my worn out Yonex SHB 01 MX shoe. Put on my Victors first thing to play and they fit like a glove. The shoe really hugged my entire feet and gave fantastic cushioning and support. I had a slight discomfort around the chrome to the outside of my feet, however it disappeared after awhile (probably just had to break in the shoe). Although I've only used them for a day, I am very satisfied on how well they fit and I would definately buy another pair had I not been interested in the Hero shoes.
To be fair, I had the stock insoles in (which I don't like at all) so I can't draw any firm conclusions yet. My PS TotalSupport are smashed to pieces, so I've got some Sorbothanes coming, hopefully in time for my next session. The cushioning, though, seems markedly improved over the 9000.
