Forget Lavers, how about 'Goldbergs'?

Post by NotHisRealName »

Concidering Rod Lavers are tennis shoes that we've converted for footbag, why hasn't anyone aproached Addidas about making a footbag shoe? Essentially like the Laver, but with the mods in the design?
Maybe Addidas should make Steve Goldberg footbag shoes?

weve already thought of that. We know that the companies know about footbag (heck Nike had a show, using the presto faze or somthing). Maybe they dont like us ? :(

It would be great if some companies made a shoe designed specifically for footbag, but we shouldn't count on in. I don't think that footbag is even big enough yet for them to consider it. I'm sure in the future, if footbag keeps growing like it has been, shoes will be made for this sport. Personally I don't like buying shoes and cutting them up, even if it does make them better. There should be a shoe that comes pre-moded.

On another note, has anyone tried Adidas Smithsonians? That's what kind of shoe I'm using until my Lavers get in. Have you seen them? They're more basketball style though. Even without mods, these shoes are great. Not that heavy either.
