Retro Lavers Modification

it´s just half an hour ago, i bought my second pair of laver. my old shoes fell now apart, so i have to get a new pair. first i wanted to get g-units, but i´ve never seen them under 90 euros. and that´s way too much!!

but then, i walked in a local shoe dealer and visited my friend artur. after saying: hi, he told me that some days ago came a guy and was searching for a footbag shoe. artur advised him, to take this retro laver pair. and then i wondered:" hmm, lavers? here? w00000000tttt!!!!!! O_____O " he showed them to me and i was really excited about.

here can you see, what laver-type is it: http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/5241596/c/742.html
i got this, with a dark red leather part instead of the black one.

i believe, it´s not the best laver model to freestyle, when you know the "regular" ones. but i think after modifiying, they might be good.

these lavers have a different sole, a really flat toe and thinner inside textile and they feel much lighter than standard lavers.
soo, does anyone also has them or maybe has some experience in modifying them? i´m thinking about cutting the primar textile off of the toe and letting the inside fully exist.

any suggestions or ideas?

What about the toe? It seems kinda...rounded (or are my eyes deceiving me

) Would be hard to catch the bag.

Yeah I saw that too. It looks leather and rounded, like the stan smiths.

yes, it is leather. and i meant rounded, not flat. i wanted to describe the structure, not the form.

i will cut the top layer or put some emery paper on it, i think...

I would just wear those around. They are pretty stylish.
