Adidas Ilie Nastase

How are the Adidas Ilie Nastase for shredding. They're basically the same as lavers but they have the three stripes.

They could be easier to come by or cheaper, and with some minor moding could be exactly the same as lavers.

Any opinions? Anyone have 'em?

I've always looked for a good deal on Nastase shoes too, but I find that they're just as, or more expensive, than Lavers. You can probably mod the stripes off easy.

Aver having had a closer look on them I can't tell what the difference is between them and lavers but I'm no expert...

here they came off quite badly...

I will translate the most important things :

- identical unless there are 3 stripes (like you said)
- but they are only second quality
- they are made out of a synthetic single-layer
- which is unfortunately quite thick
- so they are heavier than the original lavers
- and you feel the bag less well

In the end it says: If you can't get lavers these are second choice for sure but unfortunately the real lavers beat the pants off the ilie nastasie...

Hope that helped you ...sorry to bring such bad news

.. I thought they were just as good for footbag like lavers but this text (which is written by experienced footbaggers from switzerland/germany) shows quite clearly where the priorities are if it comes to freestyle shoes...
