I just thought it was Halloween all over again. :roll:

Forgot to post these babies up. Navy Blue/White Twill Lavers from Lon Smith himself. I couldn't be more grateful to have these shoes. No modding will be done to them because of their rarity. I'm stoked! :P

These are my trusty lavers that I looooooooove for ever and ever.

And then I bouhgt these...

These are my new G-units... I still haven't gotten used to them. I don't really like the fact that there's so much body to them. Laver's are like a sock with a sole (and a fiery soul)... G-units are a shoe. Sorta sketchy if you ask me...

These will fit a 4-5 year old. I'm thinking about giving them to my 4 y/o god-daughter. Adorable aren't they? I modded them last night. It wasn't too difficult, so I may invest in a pair of the leather quilted lavers for myself when I come across them. The sole rubber is grippier kind of like the Rod Laver Milleniums, and it has a bit of foam under the leather like the g-units. Definitely moddable.

I can't wait to see a little shredder actually rock in these.

New Techniques for modding climas! Booyah.....

Post by gdawg8_0 »

Sweet kicks peng!

here are my fully modded climas with brockcut and dremel'd inside/ outside, new lacing and silicone insteps

Image

here are my shoes

Image

the insteps, WITH NEW TECHNIQUE!----i sanded out some styrofoam to fit the gap inside, and then stuck it into place with silicone dyed blue with food coloring

Image

and finally my new lacing technique, i think it's sweet since it creates a dimple at the toe, which is like a bucket for grabbing toe stalls easily

PPS- the styrofoam inserts have made it uber light compared to entirely being filled with silicone

Alright, here are my shoes:

1st and only pair of Lavers:
Image
Did everything I could do to leather lavers, on the insides of both shoes is written "UNITY" for the Unity Footbag Club out here in Arizona.

1st and only pair of Nastases:
Image
Same with the Lavers except I haven't written "Unity" on them. I also cut off the leather that was on the tongue, made them a lot lighter than they were.

1st and, hopefully not last, pair of Clima's:
Image
Did everything I could from Mosher's tutorial, By far my best pair of shred shoes.

:lol:

gdawg, consider taking off the top layer of mesh on the toe. Matt Cross suggested this mod and it gives the toe a LOT more grip and better feel of the bag. It makes them a bit ugly but I think your shoes are beyond that :)
