Adidas Rod Laver Vintage

the two pictures posted in the OP are different shoes.

the first ones look lame. Same exact shape as the achilles but with a shorter toebox....not digging that nor the green (green for ***** sake?)

the 2nd shoes posted look sweet.

yo these look good in pictures but in real life, not so much.

fudgebutt · Apr 16, 2009

they look identical to 10,000 types of bland white shoes produced by 10,000 other manufacturers. if you're going add shoes to your wardrobe, make them distinct, not commonplace.

They fit true to size however will feel sort of tight in the beginning.

This is the perfect shoe. I have the bone one:

I'm interested in all colors, even another pair of the bone, in 8.5.

Kent Wang · Oct 19, 2009

Here's a 10.5 on eBay. A few more in the 9.5+ range on eBay.

Do you understand the concept of personal style?

BrianVarick · Oct 19, 2009

Hey and if you want to be distinct like that guy said, and stay in the same style, I have the perfect shoe for you

^i really want those for halloween...

Ge Fuzz · Oct 19, 2009

man these are cool (the first pic not the garish halloween ones, although those are cool in thier own way lol)...What are the soles like? My regular Lavers have a slippy toe. I find Adidas Lavers to run 1/2 size small FWIW (I wear a 10 in the regular ones (green soles), 9.5 in purcells and vans)

I agree Adidas Rod Lavers are on the chunky side IRL but lool sleek in pics.

edit: just realized how old this thread is haha Im a noob

j crew has a slightly different version of these: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/s...6442/26442.jsp

Kent Wang · Oct 16, 2010

Wow, thanks. It looks identical actually. I just ordered off eBay (slightly cheaper), but I think next time I'll get it from J. Crew.

I still think the tournament edition, show in the first post, with plain leather sides instead of mesh, is the best and will try to buy a pair if they pop up on eBay.

dougie · Oct 16, 2010

Yeah, I snagged a pair last year (I think the pair you linked to, actually) and I love them, though I'm still on the lookout for the blue/bone ones. Those are killer.

I have a pair in size 9 for sale. You all have no idea how much i wish i bought them a half size larger.

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
