title says it all. i'm looking for dark colored ones preferrably black. i'd go with the white ones if i dont have any options. i dont know if the shb-68's are old but i like the way that they look

9.5 US is my shoe size. 28.5cm might be a good size for me. i looked around online and can't find my size. i've only been looking at sites in the U.S. any canada sites i can look to for the shoe?

FYI yonex 28.5cm is equivalent to US10.5

i believe you live close to it keben, its retail store is in the north part of San Diego, so you might not have to pay for shipping at all, but gas prices are pretty scary nowadays. And, whats better is that its on sale right now. better hurry

cheers

they only have size 6.5 left. i guess you could ask them to restock it.

but according to what i know, shb 98 and 89 are not longer in production to the public worldwide right?? i heard it from many shops here in Singapore.. i'm also looking for the shb 98.. that is my very 1st pair of SHB.. it's already almost 2 yrs old and it's still in perfect condition..

i found a place that sells the 68's but i dont know if i want those anymore. i probably cuz i'd rather get some shoes locally. question: if my shoe size is 9.5 in nike shoes, what would my size be in yonex shoes? i'm not sure if the sizing is different

It's always a much better idea to shop for shoes locally, as you can try it on. With the intensity of the badminton game / tranining, wrong size of shoes not only limit your performance, but can result into serious injuries. :cool:

If you really prefer darker color, but can't find it from current Yonex range, might consider to visit local pro shop, see if you can find a decent pair from non-yonex brands. :rolleyes:

i was thinking about looking at non-yonex shoes. i was looking at some nike shoes but i decided to just get some yonex anyway cuz i dont wanna look for nikes that are suitable for badminton where i can just go get some yonex shoes that are made for badminton. i just have to decide between the 71's and 100's but i'm leaning more towards the 100. i would get the 99's but my local shop doesn't have any in my size

i ended up buying the 100's earlier today

There is the shb-99's, but in dark blue, instead of the red. The seller has blue laces to go with them. They look quite nice.

i have the men's low-top version which is obviously red. from what i know, the limited editions are mid-top and instead of red, its gold and the women's is a low-top shoe with light blue instead of red
