I'm glad they're expanding the colour options for this awesome shoe. It's been widely adopted by a lot of Yonex sponsored players and for good reason. I think this will be the only shoe where I might order a couple more as back up. It's about 30g lighter than my SHB65FT/86EX and without any compromise in cushioning. It is very flexible and makes me feel like I'm faster and getting to shots sooner, but in fact it's probably just reducing the rate of fatigue. After a long session (3+ hours) I don't feel too tired to move my feet around, and I don't feel like the shoes are clunky (experienced this with the 65FTs). I only got them because my 65FTs started ripping at one of the seems Can't wait for that yellow!
Tago might even be wearing different shoes http://youtu.be/bzkEuQUdyZs?t=14m4s If you look at the soles at 14:04 on (after a dive) The sole design doesn't look like the F1N http://haphapsports.com/wp-content/...badminton-yonex-shb-f1-n-ltd-shine-yellow.jpg But more like the "old" F1's http://76.my/Malaysia/yonex-shb-f1-mx-metalic-blue-1204-21-ElinCollection@2.jpg
That makes sense, he's had this custom colour since the fall of 2012 . Must be why he didn't wear the orange ones on court (so far) ...

These arrived in the mail the other day and I tried them on for a bit (though I have yet to play in them). They originally came with orange laces though I switched them out.
