The 8000 family can be characterized by their heavy, plush and thickly-padded uppers and supershock absorbent sole. This is not the case with the new SH9000 model.
Sole
Substantially lower/thinner than the 8000 models – both at the forefoot and heal. This lends to a very connected and direct feel with the ground. No more sponginess and that hint of instability. This coupled with its first-rate grip (almost as good a Mizuno Wave Fang XT – which I consider the very best), it seems to allow for quicker movement and faster push-off.
Uppers
A little thinner and overall, a little bit stiffer. No big change, other that the inner heal material has been replaced by a crystalized finished fabric which, I guess, is supposed to prevent the heal lifting away from the shoe. I didn’t notice any real change in play. Also, the tongue has lost its lace-loop. A bit irritating…
Lateral Support and Stability
For lateral support, the front side talons are gone, now replaced with a brace tek bar that runs from the bottom sole to the 2nd lacing hole. It works great, without any pinching or painful hot spots. The foot feels solidly planted when moving side-to-side. The rear brace unit is not as rigid as with the previous model. The rear unit is longer and has been positioned slightly forwards – this adds more support to the mid-footregion, at the cost of offering less lateral support to the ankle region.
Shock Absorbency
The midsole material is softer and the TRINECTIC unit under the heel is very effective – almost gel like. However, there is not getting away from the overall thinner sole. Cushioning is not as good as the older model.
Overall
I like them a lot. They are still ultra wide and comfy, so suit me fine. The overblown plushness has been replaced by a lighter, faster and firmer feel. They are still very comfort-oriented, but now offer more in the agility department. I like this. The build quality is nicer and the grip is still excellent.
Negatives: price increase over the older model, slight drop in ankle support and slightly reduced overall cushioning.
Postives: faster, more overall stability, lighter, and still offer great protection and comfort.
A great shoe for anyone looking for a balance of very good protection, coupled with atouch more speed. Subjectively, it is a shoe that is 55% protection, 45% speed (the old model 80% protection, 20% speed)… hope that makes sense. Go for it!
