Just noticed these new models on the Yonex JP website, aside from the SHB-87EX (SHB-65X) release for the rest of the world: SHBSC10W (wide 4E model; SHB-SC10EX ?) Seems to be something like a PUMA Disc system for lacing (or did they leave the anti-shoplifting tag on ): http://www.yonex.co.jp/products/badshoes/power_cushion_wide_sc10.html
SHBSC6iW (another wide model 4E), will probably get a SHB-SC6iEX international release name View attachment 154430 View attachment 154431 View attachment 154432 http://www.yonex.co.jp/products/badshoes/power_cushion_wide_sc6i.html
Then the annual update for the traditional 4E escape route: SHB-83W & SHB-83WMD (SHB-83WEX ?)

And lastly we have these two midrange models that could possibly get international releases like the SHB-800MYEX: SHB767SF & SHB-630 View attachment 154439 View attachment 154440 http://www.yonex.co.jp/products/badshoes/power_cushion_767_sf.html http://www.yonex.co.jp/products/badshoes/power_cushion_630.html
SHB SC10W is the most expensive shoes ever... 17,000 Yen Compared to SHB 01 / SHB F1 / SHB 65, which ranges on 11,000 - 12,500 Yen
Looks like the BOA closure system is the main new feature causing it to be so expensive. http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...P27YrhpP9EXLDoYxv8r9YLg&bvm=bv.59568121,d.ZG4 [video=vimeo;5600228]http://vimeo.com/5600228[/video] I think you can buy a lot of laces for 5,000 yen! Puma DISC system was invented in 1991! View attachment 154446
SHBSC10W - unnecessarily expensive technology. But pretty cool, nevertheless. SHBSC6iW - unnecessarily ugly. SHB-83W - unnecessarily purple. But since I liked the 82W, these will likely be my next YY shoes.
Some real life pics of the SC10 and SC6i by the master at the AT700 forum Still looks like a security tag
I found the sc6i in Denmark, on this webpage. http://badmintonshoppen.dk/shop/yonex-shb-sc6i-ex-1789p.html They are not that expensive.....
does anyone know where I can get the sc6i ex from? I have looked on Chinese sites and they only seem to have the low ankle version and I want the mid cut that is shown on this previous page. I have tried the Danish website above but with vat and shipping it works out to be £120......I need them in a uk 9.5
