Yonex SHB 99 Limited Edition

[will_0407]

Does anyone know of any differences between the "normal" yonex SHB 99 and the limited edition version? I was thinking about getting a pair when they come out, but I'm struggling to find any differences other than cosmetic, so wondering whether it would be money well spent. I've enclosed a link for the limited edtn version (didn't bother with "normal" as I assume everyone knows what it looks like.)

Any info is appreciated,

I never know this is a limited edition shoe. :) Best place to get is in japan.

[will_0407]

I know where to get it- they're out in August in UK, which, conveniently, is where I live! I was only looking to find out if there are any differences, and whether I should save a few founds and get the normal ones

[jcl49]

Apart from the cosmetics, the limited edition (silver and red) version will be low cut. In other words is have less ankle support. But if you like more freedom of movement (over and above support), then this is your cup of tea.

singapore yonex outlet at far east have this shoe but the price is around SGD$199-00 (if I not mistaken) :cool:

It was on sale for S$199 during the Aviva Singapore Open. :)

[ants]

Goodnews. This shoe will be available in Malaysia soon.

[sslam72]

I was under the impression from Yonex UK that the only difference is in colour scheme.

The make-up of the shoe is no different to the ordinary shoe.

[Trance]

This shoe is QUITE amazing. That image is quite fake of Lin Dan wearing them. He's still wearing SHB-98s from the Malaysia Open. Chen Hong was wearing it in the Yonex Japan '05 that I know of. You'll notice it if you pay close attention to the video =)

I got to take a look at it from a Yonex Distributor in my area. It sort of has this flap that completely covers your foot inside. Supposedly it keeps you cool and does a whole bunch of stuff. Well anyway, my point is, don't judge things by their cover heehee:D

[DinkAlot]

Nice, must pick-up a pair...soon. :p

Dang! Ballar! :D

Ants: how much in your neck-of-the-woods? Can you get me a Size: 12.5?

If so, I'll pay you and owe you one, thanks. :D

[khwong]

ants, i really envy you! i am still waiting anxiously for the shb99lo to arrive in m'sia.

[khwong]

the only players i saw wearing the shb99lo during the m'sia open were kenneth, chen hong and one indonesian mens doubles who lost to wan wah and tan fook (can't recall his name).

You mean Flandi Limpele

[Scott Kam]

Strange!!

One of my badders was wearing them yesterday. But the print right besides the shoelace shows "Limited" instead of "Low".

But the color scheme is exactly the same as 99Lo's

I'm a bit confused :confused:

LO is the Japanese version. The LIMITED is for distribution outside Japan. Btw does the LIMITED have VERYCOOL materials?

[khwong]

yeah that's him!

from your question you mean to say that LO has verycool materials?

[ants]

Yes they do. I'm not sure about the Limited Edition though. Will post some pics later.

[Dave18]

My pickups of Shb99 LoThose are so ugly. I wonder who designs them. :p

[ants]

Those are so ugly. I wonder who designs them. :p
Heheh i don't know who designs them. Initially i had the same impression. But it does look nice after awhile. Different from the conventional design.

[ants]

This was on the sole. Besides that the inside is made from the VeryCool Materials or cloth.

[Trance]

I wish I could get a pair. It would match so nicely with my 724 bag silver/red/black ;)

[Roydy]

Taufik Hidayat wore the SHB 99s when he visited Manila in May. If I'm not mistaken, he also wore them during the Yonex Japan Open. However, after that, during the Sudirman Cup then later during the Singapore Open, he switched back to the SHB 98.

I'm guessing Yonex helps its players by allowing them to subtly adjust to their equipment, huh?

He used the Limited edition one or the normal one (red/white) ??

[Roydy]

He wore the SHB 99 in silver/red. Is that the limited edition? Yup. That's it.

[Sealman]

So the SHB99 JP edition is low cut and the SHB99 white/red edition is mid cut correct?

[event]

Those are so ugly. I wonder who designs them. :p

You said it, Dave! And I thought the 98s were ugly! Those are looking as bad as basketball shoes.

[ants]

So the SHB99 JP edition is low cut and the SHB99 white/red edition is mid cut correct?

The SHB99 white/red Edition have Low cut and MID Cut. The Mid cut is the JAPAN version. The Low cut is for normal distribution outside Japan.

OMG U rich bastard...2 pair of 99 LO!! Gimme a pair now..How much did u get them for?

[coops241180]

hehe, i have to agree - they are totally ugly - i remember years ago - must be 1998 or earlier i think when hi-tec did the same - they had a pair of black and fluroescent orange badders shoes, simon archer, chris hunt, julian and nathan robertson all wore them - i so wanted a pair - and then they stopped making them :( was gutted :D fortunately i've got the same pair at nathan robertson now - hi-tec elite 500:3's - they're gorgeous :D and not hideous looking like those yonex ones..

yeah that's the ones i wear at the moment - they're great, light, good stick on the court, support my ankles enough without being restrictive..

best pair of shoes i ever bought..

mine are are a bit worn looking now thought - think i've had them about 8 months..

[Robin (SWE)]

very nice shoes indeed:) , got a pair here in tokyo for 10500 Yen. feels like they've been out here for ages. dont know about sweden since theyre quite slow with 'unusual' imports and stuff

This shoes has been released in the US, so you guys might want to take a look at local stores if possible.

i don't understand, the japan website said the low was gonna be cheaper than the mid, but now its limited edition and more expensive.

I've been thinking the same thing for a while ;)

[J_M_V]

I have both SHB99M and SHB99LE, and honestly speaking can't find any differencies in them - only the coloring is different (LE looks more cool). I've tried them both a few times, and they even feel exactly the same. IMO SHB99LE is just a marketing trick from Yonex. Both are good shoes though!

The uppers of LE is tougher and more durable than the normal SHB99M

[J_M_V]

You're probably right on that - material feels a bit different to the fingers. My comment was mainly on the mid/low cut discussion (both LE and M are low cut). Perhaps I can verify the durability during the next 6 months or so :rolleyes:

Good that you are able to pick up a pair :) Enjoy your shoe!

[eggroll]

The shoe is now in the Calgary Winter Club and What's Your Raquet for $190 Canadian. It is also available at Sweetspot in Edmonton. At this point it is a limited edition shoe and will not be offered in the future but it is an inline product for Japan. I just got a pair aand they are sweet. Much nicer sock liner than the other shoes and the other ones aren't bad.

[bluejeff]

The 99 Low is going to have a new color coming in Sep.

:)

[rud14m]

A friend got me a pair from the Yonex store in Bangkok priced at Thai Baht 4500.

It fits me better than my shb 98 although their of the same size, the shb 98 is a bit longer.

it's prolly more like 500,000

[ants]

If its really only 5000 pairs produced.. i don't mind having another pair for collection even it doesn't have the VeryCool mesh in it. Hmmm maybe i should have it for a signature series and have it framed.

[theasiandude88]

the one with blue and white looks nice. i think the red/silver one looks very nice, except when I look at it from afar or when someone is playing, it just looks like the shoes are out of place.

Heheh i don't know who designs them. Initially i had the same impression. But it does look nice after awhile. Different from the conventional design.

yonex is decieving our eyes!!! NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[will_0407]

Are the blue and white ones out yet? It did say some time in September right and September is almost over.

I had both and feel the 99 is better than the 98. No specifics, just overall better feel and comfortable. It's not a big difference but enough for me to go with the 99. :)

Hmm..if u have narrow long foot....den shb98 fits u well. But if u have wider foot, shb99 fits u better...as it feel wider towards the front of the shoe. and i believe shb98 is lighter den shb99 too. Preferably try both yourself to find it out..i tried both at a shop too. :)

Well, I love the SHB99 because it just feels perfect. It looks good too. My only problem is the availability. Do they still have stocks of the SHB99 at Far East Plaza in Singapore? Where else? Anyone in Manila know of available stocks?

[EastDevil]

Why would any self-respecting manufacturer make shoes that look so similar to some major manufcaturer's? I am sure there are talented designers in their own country/company to design something more unique or signature? Won't they be concerned about being labelled as imitation-company?

[chickenpoodle]

theres fake shb99 of both colors already.
they're all over ebay!!
but its pretty obvious i think, so far. the graphite sheet at the bottom of these higher end yonex shoes are no where to be seen on the fakes!

[chewablemorphin]

I like my pair but i call them moon shoes...sounds cooler

[nelsonkong]

i know who has that pair of shoe...loosai has it.

badmintonalley has it for 90 dollars I believe?
its pretty much the SHB99 with more bling lol

[jas1121]

Any idea why some SHB-99 Limited edition is named as SB 99 Limited edition? and the middle sole of the shoe is covered instead of a hole? Is it a Fake?

It does have a sunrise hologram sticker on the box as well as in the label that says " Please look out for this SUNRISE HOLOGRAM as proof of authencity and guarantee of genuine yonex product"

I believe its a genuine yonex but when look at yonex website it never mention the sb99-le. However i bought mine SB99-LE at half of the SHB99-LE price thats MYR220.00. I bought it from YY dealer shop.

SB-99LE got two colour red/silver and orange/silver. The cost is half from the SHB99LE because some of the features is not included such as Power Cushion Insole MC and lateral claw, but being a beginner player like me its suite me very well and happily own it compared to my previously apac,power,carlton and mizuno shoes.

Hi jas1121, no offence, but without all the technology like power cushion, Insole MC, lateral claw etc etc..... MYR 240.00 (S$110+/-) for this SB-99 LE is really very expensive, abit not worth it IMO. :( Coz in Spore, can get SHB-99 LE at around S$135 cheapest to S$150.

Where to get at this price? World of Sports and most of the places I saw are selling at $249 which is insane. The cheapest I saw was $149 at Bras Basah but none in my size.

Hi aireth.....are u the same "aireth" from VR forums badminton which has great BC publicity from Asimof and Maa2003??? :D Anyway, the price of S$135 - S$140 can be found at Classic Sports (TPY Safra) 62538858 and Artric Pacific Sports (Sembawang S.C.) 67536486 , but do remember to give them a call before u go down... to check on sizes and availability. ;)

Thanks for the confirmation that it is a genuine Yonex model. I tried to google this model number and cannot find much info on the internet.

I also just bought a pair of SB-99 LE a few days ago in Pertama Complex for M$190.

How much would a pair of SHB-99 LE cost in KL?

Thanks,

MYR190.00 it quite good bargain. Mine at 220.00 but come with YY socks and wrist band.

Hi charls,

I didn't know what the market price is until I saw this thread. Lucky me... :p
I also bought some shorts, long pants and jacket. He gave me 15% off on these. These are quite cheap compared to the prices here in Australia. Furthermore, there aren't that many choices of Yonex clothing here.

I tried to ask the guy to throw in a pair of socks but he was too tight... Oh well, I was happy with all the purchases and that's what matters... :)

Now I just have to save up for the next trip... :p

Now I just have to save up for the next trip... :p

Mind telling me the name of the shop you bought your yonex stuff and where is it located? so i know where to buy next time i go KL. The last time i went to Pertama complex i couldnt find any shop selling badminton stuff at all.

Hi jas1121,
No worries mate. Adam wanted me to spread his business cards anyway.:rolleyes:
The shop name is Perfect Sports (Tel. 03-26915118) and is on the ground floor. Look for Adam or Alan.
I wasn't even sure where I was... Good luck in looking for the shop. It is big compared to other smaller shops.

LOW is the Japanese version. The LIMITED is for distribution outside Japan. Btw does the LIMITED have VERYCOOL materials?

Yeah I was wondering if there're any material differences between SHB99 Low (Japan only) and SHB99 LIMITED. But heck, I imported the Japan version anyway. :p

I got the SHB98 MID and SHB99 LOW from Japan (not the export versions)..... I find that the SHB98 MID is lighter but narrower, and has less cushioning compared to SHB99 LOW.

Hey guys! IMO, i would rather pay MYR100 more for the SHB99. It is going for MYR280. It might not look as striking as the SB99. At least, it comes with the 'power cushion'. I just went to Pertama Complex yesterday and there are a few shops selling the SHB99LE, SHB99, SHB98 & SHB90. They have quite a few high-end Yonex shoes. I'm not sure if they have all the sizes though. These shops are not that difficult to find. Just walk around and you should be able to find it.

I am now surprised by the number of badminton shops mentioned in the forum in pertama complex. I was kinda rushing through and spent most of my time in the new wing searching, maybe i missed some.I kinda regret buying it because i thought it was the original version and its kinda hard or stiff at the front and has good grip.

Mind telling me the price of SHB-99LE , SHB-99 , and SHB-98 at perfect sports if possible? I got someone going there in a few days time and he said he can help me buy it to save on post laju. Would be thankful if anyone could help.

[Barca]

Is this Perfect Sports located in Pertama Complex? I was in a rush. Only took 15mins to get the shoes so I did not notice the shop's name. Basically, I have asked 2 shops and the prices are the same. SHB99 & SHB98 are both going for MYR280. Not sure about SHB99LE. But my guess is MYR350. Anyway, I think the sizes are already quite limited. I hope I'm wrong on this.

yea, Perfect Sports is located in Pertama complex. Wow, the prices are not bad. Thank you for the information. I just cant decide on SHB-99 and SHB-99LE.

Barca, which shoe will u pick between shb-99 and shb-99LE in terms of value for money? I read that Shb-99LE is more durable at the front part compared to the SHB-99. Is that the only difference?

Initially I was thinking of getting the 99LE because it looks really cool. But I saw this guy who was wearing this shoes a few months ago. My first impression was this guy must be a good player. After seeing how badly he played, I have changed my mind totally and would rather go for the normal 99 (or other white Yonex shoes). I simply do not want to give people the wrong impression when I wear those 99LE.

I do not own the 99LE or 99. But, I've bought the 98 recently. From what i've read from a few posts, the 99LE is said to be more durable. No mention of how much more durable though. If you play like a pro, you should go for the 99LE.:D

[Xaviman]

there is a blue version fo the shb 99, only for japan i think
look at yonex.co.jp

[Barca]

I think the blue version is only limited to Japan market. Other countries are getting the white/red (SHB99) and silver/red (SHB99LE).

[khwong]

There's this orange/silver shb99le version as well.

[Barca]

Really? This is new to me. I thought that's the SB99 version (without the 'power cushion'). I have only seen the SHB99LE in silver/red.

[cooler]

i think the orange/silver version is a cheaper version for the SE asia market

[khwong]

i think the orange/silver version is a cheaper version for the SE asia market The last time i saw that was at the asian junior championship in KL and it's with the label "POWER CUSHION". So it can't be the cheaper version. Furthermore the price tag was RM280.

Its the cheaper version known as SB99. It's just overpriced. ;)

[Simp84]

Hi, can anyone please update the price on SHB-99M in KL?
Please state location, shop name and prices. Thank you:)

I think it's selling for RM280. This is the price i got after checking with a few shops in Pertama Complex.

Hi Barca are u refering to the limited edition one?
What about the normal one? cheers

[virtualkidneys!]

my friend just got a pair of these and yes they are ever so slightly better than the normal but the colour scheme is horrible in my opinion.

I took a this picture 4 months ago
I didn't know this is 99 LDT limited...

what's diffrent?

The SHB99 is MYR280 and SHB99LE is MYR350. This is the price i got from Pertama Complex abt 6 mths ago.

Hi Guys

A friend of ours picked up the SB 99 limited edition for my son in KL for $70 Australian, 190 Malay currency..

She was told it was the same as the shb 99 limited edition.

Since we have studied this shoe , the SB is much heavier than the shb 98 which he currently holds .(weighed a 29cm shb98 dads shoes v 26cm SB 99 limited edition on kitchen scales. Dads shoes are lighter). First impression of the grip is that the sole is much harder than the 98 and he believes that the grip on the bottom is actually rubbish , Can anyone please give us feedback on what they think about the grip of the SB 99 limited edition,, Also noticed that it dos'nt have the power cushion so fatigue must set in the legs if there is not support /cushioning,is it a fake maybe ? Can someone who has used the sb 99 limited edition comment on
the cushioning as well....My son bought two pairs 26& 27 cm for basketball and badminton mainly for grip , cushioning and lightness but the sb seems to have none of these, compared to the SHB 98...

If any one wants to buy them (the SB Limited edition) there most welcome .The 26cm have only been worn for 5 mins testing the grip on the badminton court, and not too impressed...

SHB 99LE is not the same as the SB 99LE. SB versions are the lower grade models of Yonex badminton shoes. You should get the SHB versions.

The shb version is also a lot more expensive than the 190 ringgit model you bought. Last yr when I went to Malaysia I saw the shb99 limited edition for about 500-600 ringgit (can't quite remember).

[•ºJazº•]

Where's the cheapest place to get these from in the UK? I can get them for £60 here, or £60 from USA with free socks!

For those who drag their foot when playing, I don't recommend these shoes.

I am a super foot dragger and I tore a hole on the left side of my shoe after a 3 day tournament. I played on a regular wooden floor and have had the shoes only for a week!

Does anyone know of a shoe that is super durable for those who drag their feet and are super hard on their shoes? :D

[DinkAlot]

Try taping your shoe with athletic tape where you drag. Do it as often as necessary.

Another shoe alternative? I'd say try the 100s. They are definitely more robust but so far, not as comfortable as the 99s. The 100s need at least a few weeks of breaking in.

I don't know of any "super durable" badminton shoe. It's a trade-off. If you want something super durable, it's not going to perform or be as comfortable.

wow thats pretty bad ive had my 99le's for about 5 months now and i finally burned a hole through the insole on sunday when playing so all i gotta do is just replace it but yeah i dont have a hole from where i lunge yet. Yeah there is signs liek the material is going and theres that patch starting to form but no hole yet. you must have really been going intense, id actually liek to see a picture im just curious to see thats all if you wouldnt mind that is if you cant thats ok too.

hi,
just bought SHB-99 LE at RM 280 (USD70). is it a good rate?

Sorry Dude, I don't have a digital camera so I can't take any nice pics as of yet. I did get a shoe store to patch it up for $10 along the side of my shoe to reinforce it, but now the entire rubber sole is coming off the part I drag. You can actually see my toe coming out now. :p

[kansatish]

Hi drifit, I bought my SHB-99MX for about SGD115 (USD76) a few months back. USD70 is definitely a good rate, no doubt

[drifit]

hi kansatish,
thanks for advice.... urs is MX mine is LE, i think this shall good rate.

[Barca]

hi kansatish,
thanks for advice.... urs is MX mine is LE, i think this shall good rate.

I think you have used the wrong exchange rate. The correct rate is USD1=MYR3.45

It should be USD80 and not USD70. Anyway, RM280 is quite a reasonable price. This is exactly how much it's selling in Pertama Complex.

[ZhiWeiZ]

They say this SHB 99 limited has 2 differents...the ones without lateral claw is just with ergoshape...no powercushion...
the one with lateral claw is with power cushion...:cool:

wow that sounds intense well would have ben interesting to see that damage. so are you still using those shoes or have you replaced with with another pair? i have the same thing happening on mine doesnt seem to be as bad as yours though. but yeah already got a hole through the side.

[phandrew]

how do you get that hole on the side? All my show don't have that.

[smash_master]

how do you get that hole on the side? All my show don't have that.

when you lunge for a net shot or some other shots that you have to lunge for the side of your shoe makes contack with the court therefore causing wear on the shoe and leading to a hole being formed.

you can see what im talking about in the following picture:

[shogunakun]

welcome. Wow, MYR 190? i bought mine at MYR 240 but i am living in east malaysia so its a little expensive there so i dont know how much is the cost of the shoe in KL. Like what charles said, its a good bargain.


thts a good price..but i got mine sb-99LE in kota bharu at d.y brothers store just across the sunrise kb,kel at rm160..lol..i bought 3 pairs..thats why they gave me cheap price i guess..they have the sunrise hologram and very in good quality..

[Ar Dan]

I just picked up a pair from Tokyo last week for 7,749Yen(US$64), it was on sale at Windsor Racket Shop located at Shunjuku. I've played 2 days with the new shoes, and they feel great, my feets are somewhat narrow so the fit was very comfortable. If you're travelling to Japan anytime soon, make sure to drop by and take a look.

[sifuyono]

the one i notice when used this shoes, the insole is very slippery, i don't know why, it's maybe because i bought 1 number larger for this shoes.
I compare with my old yonex shoes (same number 27cm), the length of the outer shoes is absolutely the same w/ n99ltd. BUt i felt the inside feel 99ltd have more length

[Ar Dan]

I usually wear the Yonex socks with the dotted grips at the bottom and find the shoes very good. For me it fits much better then the SHB90, both pairs size 26.

[Peyton]

Do they have size 22.5 cm on the Limited Edition?

[ants]

I think they dont have any of that size.. you just have to find other alternative.

[Peyton]

There's no limited edition in Taiwan. And if i'm going to buy here in the philippines it's pricey. It'll cost me $100+. Do you know where I can buy this shoes online? The sure once..

[Dreamzz]

$100 sounds like the appropriate price to pair for genuine shb 99 ltds. i know some people here got them discounted, but $100 isn't a bad price.

[Peyton]

You can buy it from other country for about less than 100 bucks.

[ZhiWeiZ]

I got the same damage on my shoe now smash_master !!!

the SHB 99 limited sure looks kewl

i got SHB 100 shoes

[smash_master]

I got the same damage on my shoe now smash_master !!!

do you, yeah its just with regards to dragging your feet liek in the pic i posted, but with the way the LE's are made aka the material on the side it really kinda comes out a lil nasty looking. i dont mind it at all but yeah oh well i dont wear my LE's much anymore really though with a hole through the sides there mostly just coaching shoes now i wear when i coach.

[jas1121]

I got the same damage on my shoe now smash_master !!!

I have that problem too, well, problem is solved using athlete tap on it.

[ZhiWeiZ]

whats that??? my 1st time i know bt thaT???

[smash_master]

I have that problem too, well, problem is solved using athlete tap on it.

yup that is true you can do that and some places you can get them to put a patch over top of it and that will wear down insead of the shoe itself.

[chickenpoodle]

yup that is true you can do that and some places you can get them to put a patch over top of it and that will wear down insead of the shoe itself.

unless the hole forming is on the corner there with the rubber too, between the gum and the white rubber areas... then we're outta luck :(

[smash_master]

unless the hole forming is on the corner there with the rubber too, between the gum and the white rubber areas... then we're outta luck :(

that is true, then you will simply have to get a new pair of shoes, well i havnt seen that happen to many yonex shoes actually let alone the 99 LE's but yeah forsure out of luck there.

Are we supposed to get 1 size larger shoes for badminton? I wear 7.5 with my tennis shoes that I wear everyday and they seem to be comfortable with maybe a little room in the front if I can remember, maybe not, but I know that they are not tight on me. Should I order 8 or even 8.5 when I purchase shoes for badminton then?

[Monster]

I wear Size 8 (UK). When I got my Yonex SHB-99LE, I got Size 9. It lasted for 3 years. Excellent shoe.
