I looked at some pictures on the internet. Looks like Kiri.

They do, the whole drive series and medal series are table tennis shoe. It seems to be quite difficult to find them in North America and Europe. These are the shoes list under table tennis (卓球): http://www.mizunoshop.net/disp/CSfDispListPage_001.jsp?dispNo=001001020004001

There do exist complete custom blade service by retail company. You gets to select the composition, material, thickness, blade shape, handle shape, and weight. Instead of picking out of a selection of existing composition, blade shape, handle shape and mix and match them. Since you are familiar...

Can you weight them afterwards?

Butterfly offer custom blade to the public as long as you have the money. You can order a custom butterfly blade too. One reason why Butterfly is quite popular among pro players.

Yes, they are real and quite common in China. Be warned, Ma Long loves to change his blade between the a few of those specs, to the extent I give up hope on tracking which slight variation he is using...

Because it is probably not Fang Bo rubber, it is probably ZJK rubber. The source of these pic are from a Chinese table tennis media trip to the training center. He took a bunch of photo of many CNT equipment and not just Fang Bo's. The OP posted a subset of the photos.

This question was asked by Chinese media as well! According to a senior CNT coach "其實區別並沒有外界說得那麼大，關鍵在於用什麼樣的技術去打球。現在男選手的弧圈球是撞擊和摩擦的深度結合，像馬龍發力拉的弧圈速度力量可能比以前更大。" He said the difference is not as big as people are making it out, the main difference is the what the technique are the player using...

This definitely is good for table tennis. If this happens a bit more, table tennis might have mainstream recognition.

Edit: Now I thought about it. It might be European loops do emphasis speed. It is just because I never met one in real life so I don't know about that. Most serious player in North America are Asian immigrates and their descendent who are all trained by Chinese coaches. Since Timo Boll is...

While I don't get the blue sponge fade, and never used any of the myself. I have heard some of the fake DHS rubber can be quite good. To be clear, they are really bad fakes too. Something to keep in mind. You might want to post the page of the product and see if people here have bought from...

Do a more forward motion and flatter stroke. I am not sure how Korean coaches see and categorize looping. But in Chinese view, there is two main type of loops. The spin loop and the forward rushing loop. I think the name is pretty clear in of itself. The spin loop mostly for turning a heavy...

I don't think so unless you count factory boosted rubber. I mean Chinese national team gets their own rubber tuned and boost to their liking with their name on it. For example, the last picture: http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?10424-Fang-Bo-s-Equipment-2015 That blue...

He was being sarcastic.
