Prime's replacement for CC7 btw I swear there are two versions of these blue/yellow ones (it is actually named lime/blue instead of the yellow/blue as taken from Adidas China): [video=youtube;3vCle3B1_sQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vCle3B1_sQ&feature=player_embedded[/video]
BT Feather Recycled BT Feather will (likely) top the badminton line of shoes. The only difference I could possibly imagine is a little bit of weight loss with a new upper ... Looks like a midsole-bottom sole combo of the two above existing models now that I see them all together .

First look at the 2013 Adidas BT Feather: [video=youtube;4i3_J3a95ok]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i3_J3a95ok[/video]
What a rip off!? That's practically the same weight as the existing shoe ... Then the Adizero Prime is much lighter ...
I think I may give the adidas bt feather 2013 a shot here since my current yonex shoes are pretty worn out. Has anyone tried these shoes yet and where can I get it in the US?
Can't see this model in Adidas range of shoes, even though we're now in March. Wonder when this will be avilable in the UK
It's not available anywhere yet, that is a pre-release sample. Whenever the whole Adidas badminton range is launched in UK is when it will be available, apparently there is supposed to be a twitter account for the UK distributor ... but whomever mentioned it decided to keep it to himself . As for the Stabil, they are not badminton shoes but perhaps unfamiliar in the UK (and hence not listed as) : handball shoes. Doesn't mean you can't use them but they are designed for surprise, surprise stability (perhaps too rigid) and low weight is not the most important thing. Low weight in the description, they probably mean for a handball shoe: saw one listing of 360gr. for a UK 9 1/2 which is not too bad ... Also a reviewer on German Amazon mentioned they are the widest Stabil's so far which for some might be a good thing for a change . [video=vimeo;44567328]http://vimeo.com/44567328[/video]
Also the closest thing to it available now is probably the Feather Elite you can see on the previous page (posts #79-81) and is available in the UK. Was also specifically mentioned as a badminton shoe on the Adidas website at the launch of the Olympic red colourway for London but generally marketed as a handball shoe in Europe http://news.adidas.com/GB/LOOKBOOK/...minton/s/8fbf6bd7-d969-459d-ade7-d548011315a0 [Feather Elite] http://news.adidas.com/GB/Lookbook/p/London-2012/The-adidas-Kit-Bag/Our-Footwear http://news.adidas.com/GB/LOOKBOOK/...ndball/s/9a5f9e5b-e3c1-4f91-812e-062ada71e8c8 [Stabil 10] I guess it depends, as always, on what is best for your body type, etc. which is the better choice.
