    I am sponsored by Black Knight and I absolutely hate the ashaways . I wish BK could just make shoes like yonex or forza . They are so comfortable and look amazing!
    I dont want to give up my yoonex shoes for BK, but i have no choice :*(

    sorry to hear about your predicament. IMO, even forza base design is copied off yonex shoe. I didnt even know BK makes court shoes. Can u post a photo?

    i see. It seem ok but a very basic design. U can improve it by adding/exchanging with a better insole but that would cost u extra money.

    the main problem is that they look like guys shoes and they are too big in the bottom .

    i think i know why. I think BK adopted one basic design, usually off the guy version. Ladies have narrower feet, no wonder your feet is sloshing around in that shoes:D:eek: Have u try to talk to BK sponsor and ask them to let u use yonex shoes? u have a good reason.

    according to the terms of the contract there isnt anything in there saying that you have to wear the ashway shoes, as well there are many sponsored black knight players that wear other shoes other than the ashway ones some wear asics otheres year yonex and so on.

    well then if you were told in the contract your best bet is to speak with them about it and if nothing changes and you really really dont want to wear them well they should be able to cator to an athlete that has issues with a product they dont like else unfortunatly if they wont might be time to look for another sponsor.

    Yeah true stuff.
    At the moment i sent my ashaways away to the company to see what they could do. They told me i could wear my old yonex shoes for now. but only this time.
