    well. i wouldn't say fake.

    http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/BRAND-NEW-YONEX-ERGOSHAPE-BADMINTON-SHOES-ALL-SIZES_W0QQitemZ7200789936QQcategoryZ106461QQcmdZViewItem
    and soembody commented at "Ebay auction watch"
    so not really te high quality shoes you see most...
    the laces are wrong (flat laces, not round), big lacings holes, and the YY-logo's traingles seem a little off... the top-right-picture saying power cushion 99 Low looks like a bad-job...

    and the "Yonex ergoshape" typed beside it looks like it's made in microsoft Word...

    To me it looks like a definite fake, the underside looks to be of very poor quality, the laces are the wrong sort and also of poor quality. The Yonex logo is wrong and the loop on the back is poor quality. It can't be a lower end version like the AR-89, if it was why would it say 'Power Cushion 99 Low' on the side.

    The logo's "wrong"? The underside looks to be of poor quality? How can you tell from that picture?

    The only thing thing that looks wrong to me is those damn shoelace's. Didnt notice it until jerby pointed it out but now that ive noticed it its the only thing on the shoe I can look at. Dunno whether I would sat fake or not, after all we did get the World Champion Super Pro shoes from Yonex which were authentic (and which I managed to get my hands on in malaysia:D ).

    hahahhaaha, wonderful ! Looks like soccer boots. If it cost S$10, why not? It might not spoil so easily anyway. I can even use it to kick the wall when i like it =x

    What's with all these silver motifs in the latest YY offering?! It look so cheap and ugly. If it's a clone/fake or a lower YY series, it's a waste of money to get them. Go for them if you're really strapped for cash. Then again most badders have enough money to get mid-range YY racquets, so they really have no excuse not to get better shoes than that:rolleyes:.

    The triangles are too small and look how shiny the rubber and plastic is on the sole. It can't be like the world champion super pro shoes as it says Power Cushion 99 Low on the side. That means the manufacturer is claiming they are Power Cushion 99 Lows so it must be a fake as Yonex wouldnt make two different quality shoes with the same name
