carefully inspect that OT stamp on the sole... the absence of 'studs' around it creating a 'halo effect' proves the shoe to be fake. also, they are not supposed to have an extra border... might be hard to spot but the 'registered' logo on the lower right side of the 'tiger' word seemed to be missing too. i have attached a pic of my mex66 lauta as reference

sorry couldn't really take pictures of their collection there cos I wasn't allowed to. generally, tigers there are pretty cheap compared to msia. they have a few pairs of nippon made mex66 deluxe (white, grey 2 tones, brown 2 tones) and were quite cheap too (HK$1900, RM770). anyway since I was already in the store, might as well make my trip worth.
