Is this photo genuine? Looks good https://www.facebook.com/hibadminto...88850651.69421.277858809003526&type=1&theater
I found this design is exactly the same with SHB65X, just the different colour and 65X change to 87LTD only.... lol
Because the 65X will be known as SHB-87(EX) everywhere else . On a sidenote it would really have benefited by having had 'EX' added to only the 87 printing on the shoe. Interestingly these actual pictures slightly differ from the catalogue shots by having a bigger 87 which is also centered. Wonder if it's fake but having seen pics from two sources it is probably how it turned out. The LTD looks pretty good (although I will never wear black indoor shoes unless for futsal), orange laces need to be swapped out immediately (for black ones)! And you can see the LTD is on par with the JP versions again by the material of the tongue ...
I actually prefer the look of the non-LTD versions. They just look so much more vibrant. I'd get them right now if I knew how much they weighed. I can't justify $100+ just for a better looking pair. Functional difference from the SHB86 is very likely minimal, other than the tighter fit. Only reason I would get it is if it was significantly lighter, like >20g ligther. I'm sure the grip isn't noticeably different either.
Wow... You are the badminton shoe guru and thanks for sharing. Is that now 87EX were shipped to worldwide already? Agree with you the 87 should adding EX beside in order to look better, still not regret on my 65 with X printed on side
I have seen some Japanese men's doubles wearing the Yellow/Black version during recent hongkong open 2013
Hehe, only searched for and found these pics on the net but yes the shoes are available in the Sunrise region already so should be in Malaysia soon enough as well. In Hong Kong they should be available right now ... Different model ...
http://www.sunfast.jp/item/YY-SHB87LTD/ Sunfast in Japan is starting to accept pre-orders. Price is 9450JPY (until dec 20 then it will be more expensive). Seems like the shoe will be released at end of March. It is titled as "All England 2014 LTD Model".
It's already arrived in malaysia. RM399.90 for both colours. But i still prefer to white black rather than red. ^_^
The red SHB-65X yes (which we already knew for a long time , maybe spotted first during the Japan Open), not the black 87LTD ...
