Cons
  • Low frontend sup
When I first saw these bad boys in the BTY Catalogue of 2010 I just had to get myself one of them.
The first "Limited Edition" table tennis shoe model ever made.

It's basically a remodeled Asics Attack SP, but damn BTY did a good job designing these.
They are probably the lightest TT shoes I've ever worn. Even more so than the classic Mizuno Crossmatch Plio.
The grip is a lot better than the original Mizuno outsole as well.
However, with the heavy emphasis of "barefoot feel" of these shoes, comfort and support are definitely sacrificed.
The alpha gel is only filled in the heel part of the midsole, therefore players that are used to the tip-toe stance are definitely going to find these rather uncomfortable.

All in all, probably the most handsome and maybe the lightest table tennis shoe ever made, but definitely not the most comfortable.
