Dude come on, you live in the god of outlet stores man....look around lol. But yeah most likely you'd find 'em at an Adidas outlet store "obviously", but you'd do yourself some good to check Foot Locker and Sports Authority. Also, make COMPLETE SURE that you get MESH if you want MESH and LEATHER if you want LEATHER, I've heard many a story about people saying "OMG I BROUGHT MY LAVERS HOME AND I GOT THE WRONG ONES!!". Don't let history repeat itself :wink: .

Where in NY do you live? If you live on Long Island like me there is a place called Incredible Feet that have them. There's 3 locations I think.

Edit: Oh and they have mesh (I don't think they even carry leather suprisingly).

Hey neary, where in NY do you live? Like in NYC or upstate?

First of all, leather lavers and mesh lavers are of equal playability. Both are fine. The only real difference is that leather lavers are easier to modify for freestyle, but mesh lavers happen to look less cut-up after you modify them.

That said, you're probably only going to be able to find leather lavers in retail stores. I have only been able to find mesh ones online.

They just started selling lavers at a Footlocker at a mall near my house. Famous Footwear has been known to sell them too.

I know olympia sports carries them. What I did is try them on at the store to find my size then buy them online.

Yea, go to an Addidas outlet, or an outlet that has Addidas shoes. if they don't have Rod Lavers, find a pair of shoes that have a very similar style. Try them on and see what size works. Then most likley, rod lavers ordered over the internet will hopefully fit the same.

Zappos and Ebay are the best places online to find em.

Just wanted to make a correction. Olympia sports does not carry rod lavers (they carry sandmasters though) but FINISH LINE does. Sorry for the mixup.

Every store in the world seems to have adidas stan smiths, which fit identically to lavers. Go to a store, find out what size stan smith you wear (keeping in mind that you want it a bit snug). And then use the wonders of the internet to track down a pair of lavers your size.

If you want them to look nice you can wait for a while before modding them, but you won't get the full effect of the shoe unless you mod them.

I would say that everyone on here would suggest modding them. Check out the tutorial pages on www.hoodshouse.com for more information.
