these turned out really well, until I decided to do something with the suede strip in the front.

nice shoes Xain!..nice blue laces too.. i colored mine all black, with green laces to match my sole..one question..wat u do the the suade strip to mess it up?..

Xain · Post by **Xain** » 24 Nov 2005 21:30

well, I used this one color, and I didn't like the way it looked, so then I went over it with blue, and they mixed and didn't mix in different spots, and to make a long story short the original color was better.

My G6's, heavily modded by the 15 yr-old Joe Kulacz himself. He had it laced up with a freakin's huge toe like a Climacool I think, but I like things a bit tighter so I laced it this way. My right shoe has a cool and different shoe lace that I took off from a pair of beach shorts. Works perfectly great right about now.

Joe definitely showed me the light, so I bought a pair of G6s a 1/2 a size smaller so that I can get that snug fit (anyway, being off-topic, I think the guy is 16 right about now?

). These size 9 shoes are too big for both me and Joe really, so in the mean time I'll be shredding in these shoes before my new pair comes in. I don't even play in my Lavers anymore because these shoes feel so great! I just need some good insoles.

Anyone know where I can get Spencos cross-training insoles online?

i finally modified my shoes, i cut the canvas out of the inside surface and the toe box and relaced em. it sure made a giant difference. im thinking about cutting the canvas out of the ouside surface but not sure if it will make a difference. here they are, they still look pretty normal too.

Yeah, cutting the canvas out of the outside helps too. Your feet will breathe even more, and the shoe will wrap your foot better. And of course it helps with dragons too. It makes the shoe just better all around really. No canvas is good canvas.

Awesome shoes by the way

i dont have problems with dragon even with canvas on the outside!and the breathing thing is another problem,i play in climas too,and they are supposed to be supperior in breathing stuff,but i sweat like a pig in the sauna!so...if u move and u strain yourself then u sweat and if u dont have a chance of getting the sweat fully out of the shoe u can have a clima control center in your shoe,it wont breath then!

shoe is realy awesome,black lavers rule!i heard of a guy whop has black lavers with silver soles!

Yeah, but I only found pages that either showed spammed pages, or Dr. Scholl's Memory Insoles. Weird huh?

Xain · Post by **Xain** » 26 Nov 2005 09:02

I'm thinking about making my white/navy lavers black

Does the permanent marker affect the grip of the mesh?

Does the ink bleed?

Does having black lavers make your feet sweat extra in the sun?

hahaha, no, honestly in my opinion i dont like my black lavers id rather go with white, there to heavy i feel like i have bricks attached to my feet.

I think it might not be the best idea to cut out the canvas on the outside surface of your shoe. I think our feet tend to press against the outside surface as we shred, so you need a little extra support there, and also, sometimes the foot can have a tendency to scrape the outside surface on the ground when doing blenders, swirls, etc, so it's nice having that material there for padding, or in case you break through the thin outer layer of mesh.

well, i no im not the only one with expierience in coloring white lavers black..but recently i colored my white n green lavers completley with large black sharpie and it looked good..for about 2 minuets until i realized im a dumb fuk..its not a good idea to color ur lavers..it WILL fade..it WILL bleed especially if its wet out etc..it looks bad all around really..just be happy wit ur white ones right now..buy black ones for the holiday/s that are coming up!

Thanks Ben for the link to Spencos insoles. I'll be sure to buy them ASAP.

Plus, my new Reebok G-units came in today, so you won't be hearing much of me anytime soon.

You can't color in lavers with a sharpie

get one of those HUGE black metal shell pens, or ask someone whose done it successfully, its totally fine if you use the right kind of pen.

btw I just got some spenco insoles and they are amazing.

Oil Paint Marker should work. They have a couple different brands. Unipaint, Decocolor, find em at your art store.
