Gel Sensei's again?

[fingrbustr]

Judging by the responses on the ball thread, I figured I'd put another equipment post out here.

Like most everyone on this board, if you've played for any amount of time I'm sure you've all gone through a ton of shoes. The latest model I've been using since last spring/summer are the Asics Gel-Sensei's. I used Gel-Typhoons before, and I loved 'em, until I felt the comfy cushion of the silver shoes. My Sensei's though are just about worn through again...is there someone out there who's had this shoe and have found a "better" one? I'm looking at the Adidas Vuelos, Mizuno Tornados or even the Asics Gel-1100V.

Let the opinions flow, v-talkers...I thank you in advance for your insight

If you hold out until June, I saw the new Sensei 2's are coming out as well as a cheaper Asiscs model which looks good. I've been using my Typhoons for way too long and finally gave in and ordered the Sensei's so hopefully they're just as good.

The Sensei's are even better, if you can believe that. The cushion and cradle difference between the two is quite noticeable -- you can really tell the Sensei's are top, top shelf and nothing is spared. They're not the lightest shoe in the world though, not sure if that matters to you. They are awesome shoes no doubt...best so far that I've had.

So Sensei 2's, huh? Never heard of 'em. I might just hold out a few months for those. Thanks for the tip!

Yea i happened to be at a local jrs. tournament sponsored by asics and i grabbed a brochure. I found out later they wouldn't be out until June but I'm not sure how reliable that is. They look pretty good. Based on the picture they look a little old school and a little high-top compared to the typhoon and senseis but that might be the picture. I think I'm going to get them evantually simply because the Senseis now don't really match my uniforms.

adidas vuelos take some getting used to... feel alot better with double socks or really think socks. if you can find a pair, i recommend the adidas climacool response light. amazing shoe and very comfortable. Mizuno wave lightning 3's are also a great shoe.

the asics that Peluche is talking about look absolutely sick!
