Sure I think they look good...but for shred?? Not at all. They would have to modded so much to be good for footbag.

The best shoes have been listed 1000 times.

Those shoes look doable without very much modding. Nice find.

I've played in a previous model and it was pretty sweet.

from the same company, I kinda like these better.

eh, you might be able to kick in them, but there'd be a period of transition (getting use to it).

yeah, don't expect to hit anything in them the first couple sessions.

I always had to relearn all my tricks everytime I switched shoes.

The toe area looks fine but they inside isn't show at all.

With most running shoes the inside is often quite similar to the outside so I will make an educated guess and say that to make these shoes any good for footbag you would have to remove several layers of material that may/maynot affect the structural integridy of the shoe.

There are others that would work better with less work.
