There was a black and gold (yellow?) colorway on their IG page that looks stunning. This shoe is a piece of art. Too bad nothing but their sonicage wide fits me , and that shoe, while great, has the outsole durability of a paper bag. Fingers crossed these are at least a generous medium...maybe I'll buy one just for casual wear.

Look awesome

wow. I guess beauty truely is in the eye of the beholder because those repeated wavy lines are super ugly for me.

Well, if they restored some of the goodness of the third one, I'm all for it. The fourth version is meh...

Doppler effect shoe? Would have suited the Sonicage.

I liek the upper for sure, but I do wonder why they needed to do the camo sole on the white pair as well. I dont mind it but would've been super clean without

this shoe always had been very tight and glovve like fit which was bit uncomfortable for me which turned me off to this shoes. but i wonder if they changed this aspect of the shoe to make this more comfortable fit ? but every other features looks great.

Except for the original FusionRev which had a very wide toe box. All the following models were narrow by comparison. I'm not happy that Yonex shoes have gotten narrower in the toe box over time.

It is kinda cool; looks like some sort of overnight pop up avant-garde sculpture install in the lobby of the Gugg.

Glad I’m not the only one.

Glad I’m not the only one.

I also hate Air Max 95 and Air Max 97 though. Same squiggly lines which for me just looks kind of messy, gooey, and slimey.

There was a Head shoe too. Looked like something a referee (or a zebra) would wear. lol.

Definitely the minority here. Those Air Maxes are classics and belong in the history of great footwear design. The new Yonex shoe is cute and feminine. It would benefit immensely if it had a decent looking logo.

For sure in the minority there. I am seeing them everywhere.

So has anyone gotten around to playing in these or no?
