I have already wondered which shoes Shin Baek Choel wore during his double-win at the Macau Open GPG recently. It turns out it is the replacement of the SH-P9100, the SH-P9200. Thanks [MENTION=99813]MagicElite[/MENTION] for clarifying this. When seeing SBC wearing them I really liked them, but looking at them more closely I'm not sure anymore... Colour combinations also look rather strange. What do you guys think? Imo it seems like they follow the style of the new LD shoes somehow... Anyone got more infos on these shoes? Price? Top-notch shoes or second class in price relation? Searched the internet for more infos and found a few pictures: More colours: https://www.facebook.com/RacquetForce/videos/544440095707958/ pictures copyright belongs to raquet force facebook page
there will be more colourways with this shoe. Having had a sample in my hands I can confirm they will secure the ankle and provide excellent cushioning. Victor's global website shows there is a matching bag and from the photos you get a glimpse of a couple of new shirts for 2016 - VERY nice! Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
The bottom of the 9200M is the same green as the rest of the shoe - fantastic Credit to Racquetforce:
There will be five colourways for the 9200: red/green (more burgundy than red), yellow/blue, red/black (which is mostly white, actually), and in mid-cut, green/blue and white/blue. Have to say the DC and EF look cheap compared to the others...
Looks good, might get a pair in the green/blue above but shame they still haven't increased the height of the side rubber sole to protect against foot-dragging.
The toe area on the inside is the same heavy duty PU that they've used on other recent shoes. You don't need to worry about dragging.
If you're talking about the material they use for the upper part of the shoe, it's not actually very resistant to abrasion. I drag my left foot a lot (as do a lot of people) and if I hadn't put something over the area, there would be a hole there by now. I made a thread about this some time ago. But the problem is not actually the upper part of the shoe, it's the rubber sole design. I think they should make the side of the sole thicker or higher on the inner part of the shoe to protect the area.
you've got to remember that the majority of the market in Europe still prefers white shoes. So, irrespective of your views remember we don't have the full picture. Yes, we all comment based on our preferences which is fine. However the business picture is simple. Each continent will order based on percentages. i can guarantee Europe will have the white shoe and I'm expecting the black/red combination. For me personally, I want the blue shoes.

Why is that? Is it some lingering etiquette rules from the past? Blue is nice, especially the A920s I don't like white shoes only because they get dirty easily and stay dirty.
