It wasn't actually a gift from the store or anything. All those things came inside the box. So its default from the Victor factory. Means its even better value!

In comparison, the SH9000's are a lot more comfortable. My feet slide into the shoe with ease and after tying the laces, the shoes feel planted. The cushioning is also excellent. Jumping and moving around feels completely natural. Not much else to say in this regard.

One thing though is that the shoes feel very "structurally" strong. When moving side to side, the shoe material on top doesn't stretch or bend like my SHB200's. Probably because of that lateral support thing.

Best thing about this shoe in my opinion though is that it's very low to the ground. It feels more balanced. For example, my mizunos and yonexs had massive heels whereas the victors are low.

Also, my SH9000ACE's came with extra black shoelaces, an extra pair of insoles and a carrying bag for the shoes. Didn't expect these things at all. In comparison, my yonex shb200's were the same price but it didn't come with any of these extra's.

how's these in width compared to your previous shb200's, which are supposed to be one of yonex's wider shoes (3e i think)

I think in the very beginning, my shb200's were pretty wide but after leaving them squashed in my bag a few times by accident, they became a bit thinner. So it's a bit difficult for me to compare accurately.

I would say that the SH9000ACE's can accept relatively wide feet. I've noticed that the ankle area of the Ace's are pretty wide and thus, my feet slide into the shoes with ease. I think internally, the SHB200's are marginally wider but take note, mine are almost worn to oblivion (slight exaggeration) so its shape and size might have warped.

From just looking at the Ace's, they appear to be relatively wide and low. Kind of like a lamborghini?

Hope that helps.

Shame - we don't have the yellow shoe in UK, only the red.

Yes, I really like the yellow shoe too and the fact that the black front section wraps around. I had many people commenting and asking about it here before.

Why is that so? Maybe it's because less demand for the yellow shoe in UK?

How is SH9000 compared to the SH8600?

**tigerlam92** · 08-12-2012, 01:03 AM

When replacing my Yonex 101, I actually bought SH9000ACE-E and SH8600ACE-F at the same time and had been using both for a while now.

The SH8600 feels great, but the SH9000 feels like a completely new innovation, literally. The SH8600 feels like a great pair of shoes, but the SH9000 feels like a completely new technology - lighter, sit lower, better support, fit better, etc. It was such a wow that no break was needed, it just fit and feel right.

Didn't want to make a new thread for this but can someone tell me what shoe model that JJS/LYD are wearing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-Ddm1zhasc&feature=related
Not really sure what it is :s I don't think its another colour variation of the SH90000ACE :/

They're using 9000ACE-D

**Accordaz** · 08-12-2012, 10:24 AM

Yep. But interestingly LYD still uses SH8500. CJS too.

When I was test wearing the SH9000Ace, it felt something weird, in the middle of the soles. Maybe due the new lines on the rubber sole:

thanks everyone

I guess I'll be buying those shoes! they look too awesome lol

**Jonster** · 08-12-2012, 06:02 PM

I bought them around June or so and they are pretty nice shoes. All the Yonex shoes I have had, the left shoe loses its rubber tread on the inside upper part of the foot from lunging. Victor have placed a more durable form of rubber to prevent this from happening. Ultimately, it makes the shoe last longer.
