Nice catalogue pic

They look like one of the Forza models actually

Well not as close as I thought now that I see the other ones, mostly the colours ...

Well, if you look at their previous model

It's quite clear where there inspiration came from (yonex shb99-ltd)

Their new shoes look good though, especially because their size 46 was slightly too small for me. And now their new XS-600 will come in size 47 as well.

It's been 6 months for me and it hasn't showed any sign of wear yet. But I am going thru the 2nd set of insoles though!

I just wanna share my shoes, Victor SH8600d.

Compared to the Victor 8000, which I got to borrow from my coach, this one is much more supportive, and has really good cushioning. Plus I think it looks better too.

I changed the laces from white to red, just because I found white a tad boring

hey jut703 where did u get the red laces from?? for the it? i thought the sh 8600 comes with white laces?

**jut703** · 05-27-2010, 05:21 AM

I happen to have red laces from my old Yonex Ultima 100 LTD.

But yes the 8600d really comes in white laces

**hadokenuh** · 05-28-2010, 10:40 AM

The 8600 is an improvement for sure. Have you seen the limited version in all red? It looks hot. How much did you pay for your 8600? (In USD if possible). Thanks.

Just got me a new Yonex SHB 72 Silver and Orange color. Such a simple shoe without any gimmicks (lateral claw, rippled insole) which I actually prefer. I like my feet to be very low to the ground, the higher/thicker the insole & outsole, the easier you twist your ankle. You hardly ever get sprained ankle running barefoot

and I do play at carpeted floor so extra cushion will only actually adding more stress to the knee, in my opinion.

In pictures, the 8600ace (the red one you're talking about), looks quite striking. But honestly, in person, it looks like a Transformer has grown on your foot. It looks bigger than an equally sized 8600 in any other color. So if you have skinny legs, and if you're not that tall, then it would just look awkward on you. Actually, in a recent tourney I watched, a tall girl of chubby build had one and it still looked quite awkward. So IMHO, other colors are a better choice. But of course, it's still up to you, and if you want it, check it out in person

I got it for approximately 90 USD (Php 4,500), because I know of a friend who gets them cheap. It hasn't been released in our country yet, and I'm expecting a late 2010 or early 2011 release at a price of around 140-150 USD (Php 7,000-7,500) in our local retail stores. From what I've read, that's also the going price for other countries.
