    Strange considering it has LD's logo on the shoes...

    EDIT: and it also says SC6 LD, normal ones are SC6i...

    Actually, it's Lin Dan alternate colorways. High Orange and Cosmic White. You can see the LD's logo on the shoes and racquets.

    If it is a taufik hidayat or peter gade zf2 edition it practically guarantees another hole in the wallet.

    of course. I heard the contract between LD and Yonex ended after Rio 2016. So yonex needs to produce more money to sponsor LD.

    I think it's actually the Taufik and Peter Gade versions. Makes little sense for Yonex marketing to come up with THREE colourways for a single player edition racket...

    Makes more sense for one commemorative racket for each of their Four Legends. (Plus the one on the right has an almost identical colour scheme to the ARC 10PG.)

    EDIT: Ah, I realise the earlier comments were talking about the shoes. My bad!

    I request pictures of the TH version. A red ZFII? Holy cow. I didn't bought a Yonex for 5 years but this will be an exception, if it is available in 4U. The 3U is too head heavy for me. :(

    R&D of Yonex is running out of ideas to create an entirely new rackets that end-user will like. Hence, as VTZF II was pretty much liked, it was repainted to have 4 different freaking versions, all at which the exact similar specs but the price is different. Cheapest was LCW so far (perhaps because it looks girly), then the "manly" original black, then came LD yellowish at higher price than previous two, then followed up by TH version (red) and PG version (white). Why CANT yonex just simply create VTZF III, or VT90, or VTXF 7UG6.

    I think this might be officially released after the Japan Open. Based from previous super series events, there is a Legend's Vision afterwards. Maybe thats when they will make the announcement of this rackets. Totally makes sense since the current super series is in Yonex's headquarters, Japan.

    Just my opinion

    nice, thanks for sharing. So he does have 2 racquets, red and yellow make sense from chinese flag, though a bit unfair for LCW lolz.

    Anyway, very interested to see whom the white version is for. Dont think i can resist white colour ZF2 ...... damn it ....
