I recently ordered the Asics Gel-Blade 8 (new model). I can't give you a full opinion yet, but these are the shoes that promise the best compromise between performance and absorption, thanks in particular to the gel.
In Japan, this model is sold in the "Table tennis" category under a slightly different name. So they are still designed for that, even if in Europe they are presented as badminton and indoor sports shoes. If you wish, I could give you more details in a few days.
