Jean from Ed Uni here, I recently spent hours and hours trying to find where i can get korfball shoes in the UK. After reading a load of old threads on here and doing a LOT of googling, I found a couple of websites that do the shoes. There are several different shoes listed under "korfball shoes" but the ones that i think everyone knows are Asics Gel-Crossover. I found that they exist in mens and womens versions, a few different colour options and in 4 different "editions" with 4 being the most recent.
Unless your Dutch is good, you'll need to set your browser to translate!
this site do charge for shipping (around 7 euros if i remember) but the shoes are actually ten euros cheaper! you can also pay directly with paypal without having to put in a load of details
hope this helps people out, i know from reading the old threads that people were finding it really hard to get them in the UK.

ASICS Korfbal shoes got their name by a marketing trick. When ASICS decided to sponsor KNKV they start to sell basketball shoes as korfball shoes. In the Netherlands most top players donot use ASICS shoes. Most of them play on NIKE ADIDAS or LI-NING.

What would make a specialist korfball shoe any different from a basketball shoe? I always assumed they were the same thing.
