Eye squash shoes!
These are called Eye S Line shoes. They appear to be signature shoes for Paul “Superman” Coll. They were announced on the Eye Rackets Facebook page. Thanks to Bernard and Teariki for the tips!
Reviews
Joey Barrington’s video overview:
Here are some comments from Squash Source reader JLB:
I have now had the eye shoes for approximately 5 months. They are more durable than the salming, in the fact that the sole is still holding together, however, the plastic type covering around the toe has now been torn through (this went after about 2 months of playing 2/3 times a week). I shall hopefully send a picture through to show the damage. But they are comfy, tight at first as i’ve got quite wide feet, but they are wonderful to move around in. Similar to the salming viper.

There was a previous model called the Eye X.Lite shoes, spotted back in May 2016. Thanks to Carlos for the tip!
Product Notes
Note: there’s also an Eye X.Lite series of rackets, so the naming choice was a little strange. I’m glad they switched it up for the Paul Coll models.

Do Eyeshoes make Squash shoes in women’s sizes?
If so, where can they be purchased in Canada (Nova Scotia specifically)?
Thanks

Any thoughts on their sizing though? I wear a US 9.5 and it seems like they skip from 9 to 10 (because of EU sizing). Suggestion?

These new Eye shoes look very familiar.. very familiar indeed. Almost like…. Asics shoes.
Asics Gel soles are quite distinctive, with (1) the circle at the ball of the foot and the lines leading away from it and (2) the plastic support at the shank, between the heel and the toe.
Even the outsole looks like Asics.

Eye Rackets is a 100% squash brand, so all their products are developed thinking about their use specifically in our sport. All their efforts are focussed on squash, and we can perceive that feeling in their products. I´m waiting for the new 120 X.Lite Control, and if their shoes are good, when my Asics Fireblast break down, probably I´ll buy these beautiful shoes. The desing looks quite good, waiting for your review Pierre!!
