Just found this out accidentally. The color looks pretty sharp and cool. Might be a good replacement for SHB-98MX fans. It was posted on the Yonex Japanese site on 10/5. Don't know how long it take to be available in the market. Anyone has an idea? Perhaps someone can translate the info for us? Just curious what kind of new material they use on this pair of shoes. http://www.yonex.co.jp/badminton/products/pc65r/index.html
my friend with the knowledge of a handful of university level japanese classes has said... ===== アッパー is "Upper," ミッドソール is "middle sole," and アウトソール is "Under sole." Okay, from what I can see , the mid sole has "Super featherlight + Power Cushion + Solid EVA +.... Power Kabon?" So maybe that's Power Carbon =====
with the extra stitching near the outside toe area, i'm inclined to think its a lot stronger and durable than the shb98's too. the extra stitching and larger panel will hold up a lot more to the stresses of lunging.
i think he meant just the blue Y joint on the side, the SHB-65r looks like it has a silver one, hey i just realised, its like a Y for Yonex. lol
I like this SHB-65R!! Where can I get it? Is it only available in Japan only? I only see Jap sites via Google search.
No the US will not be getting these shoes. I've already seen the new shoes. The 71ex and 41ex or something like that.
it seems to be the slightly more advanced version of the shb90. This will probably come out soon next year if it has come out in the asian market.
does anyone know any online shops where they would sell these beautiful shoes i really want to buy these too hehehe thank you
The selling price of SHB65R is at this moment higher than SHB90 in Hong Kong but it is the opposite in Japan (according the Yonex's website). So I am still hesitating.
