    Actually the SHB 98MX is different from the Pro 98. I guess the 98MX is newer model?

    I'm trying to look for pics of the Pro98

    Get a Shb89 or SHB98 instead. :) Pro98 Don't really last long.. not good for lunges and worn out easily.

    I have tried both the shb 89 and the shb 98 mid japan versions and both are very good but I think the shb 98 mid is a little bit better due to the fact that it is really comfortable and better ankle support however performance wise more or less the same. but definitely a lot better than the asics.

    Cooler : Actually the YOnex "Pro" series are quite popular in the Philippines. There is a Pro 97, 98 and 99 version. Quite expensive to (from Ph point of view) about 90 US$

    Worms : You said the SHB better than the Asics? What Asics model did you compare?
