i searched back and alot of ppl talking about asics shoes is kinda good, how does it fares with yonex shoes? SHB-85mx is like rm120, while asics range from rm160-200+. The think is, i dont know how yonex power cushion feels, but i have wore asics running shoes before and seriously, my feet doesnt pain after wearing it compared to those power shoes, so i highly rate asics shoes tho i dont really like the design

Ben, it all depends on ur budget, purpose and whether u like the design...good quality Yonex shoes cost RM250 to above RM300 (street price / after discount) However, they also produce the Ultima range which is a lower end range (without Power Cushion)
How Power Cushion feels? well very comfortable if you like to jump a lot in a game, my legs dun feel painful after my sessions. Many years ago I wore Nike futsal shoes for badminton, then I switched to SHB-100 with Power Cushion. Now I'm wearing SHB-101 LTD and never look back ever since
My suggestion is dun wear running shoes during badminton game, cos the sole is wider and not suitable for badminton. Get a pair of dedicated badminton shoes, in which u ONLY wear in court. dun wear for jalan jalan / jogging to prevent damaging the sole.
Cheers

Any1 can recommend me racquet that price below rm200 with bag and re-string ready... do some power smashes but mostly defending
With ur budget you might be able to get NS800, or maybe if u meet a nice shop owner, he'll share with you which racket suits you. but all words and no action is kinda hard to justify whether the racket is for you or not, so it all comes down to 3 main types, Head heavy (offensive), balanced, and head light (defensive), pick one and go try
In ur case (mostly defending) I think head light rackets is for u, as they are more responsive, however u need to have a faster swing (instead of just brute strength) to generate a powerful smash..
