No problems so far!! They feel sooooooooo nice. I Love the extra monstrous brocka too.


The facile mod is super-secure. I love this mod... Zack Fourth told me how to do it. Thank you Zack!! If you stitch the fabric in properly and glue the fabric in from both sides with hot-glue gun you're prolly safe. It's makes it WAY easier to learn clippers, but I'll bet that once you've got your clippers dialed anyway, it would only force you to relearn them... I skooled them with this mod, so I'm stuck with it. I love it though

I don't think I commented on the clolour scheme I chose for my shoes! It's the same thing that I have my Wheel bag in. Green & Gold.

i think that those are the same shoes that first started kicking in when iwas in grade 7!! back when it was like "WOW!! You hit it almost 20 times in a row!!" ...back when freestyle footbag seemed impossible.
When I started getting interested in kicking more seriously I invested in some Vans, and then moved up to my first lavers after a year or so. I guess that's ironic that the shoes I started with were really decent freestyle shoes and I just didn't see it. My first time ever seriously Praying was when I really wanted lavers :oops: ... I worked hard to get them!!

It looks like the mod you used on those shoes is exactly like the tubing mod at HooDs House. Nice. Twill Lavers play pretty well, just as good as meshed Lavers. It might need more time to break in due to structure differences, but that's about it.

Here are my modded Nike Airs... thay are VERY light with a great surface, and I recommend them to anybody who wants great, inexpensive shoes. (I beleive they were 15-20 $) They are about a year old.

The toe angles up a bit, but I could see how they'd work for it.

It's good to see people trying out other shoes, for sure.

Yeah. Plus, Lavers can be hard to find!

I agree that the toe sticks up a bit but thats just better for stalling.

And the hot glue wasnot working, so since then I have used more efective methods to attatch the tubes.

those pretty much, just a grey and really flexable to box. I modded them by cutting from where the tounge is attached to the leather stuff all the way down to the rubber...lmfao and then laced them my own special way.

Oh and do you think you could use converse, or are these significantly different?

converses

Post by moparman »

converses work i just dont like em that much (not as much room to hit with), but just take the stitches out of the part that attaches thesides to the shoe so you can toe stall good, but there alright i guess after you getused to them
