Nice design on the side. Hopefully it doesn't rub and break off through kicking. :)

It won't, despite the optical illusion, it's on the outside of the shoe-not the clipper area

damn those are NICE! I think I'd like a pair of those just to wear, I don't think I'd mod them. They're too hot to cut open ;)

You guys have some pretty sweet shoes! I just got my first pair of lavers yesterday, and did my own custom lacing mod as well as some tiny sharpe highlights. We'll see what happens to them in the future, but as for now it's hard for me to cut/draw all up on a brand new pair of shoes... So here they are:

These are my airwalks I used to kick in before the lavers, good for kickin' but much too heavy for shredding.

I'm looking forward to these lavers! I've only had one solo session, and I tired out pretty quick, but tomorrow brings a group session, and I'm stoked!

Thanks man. So I've done some more stuff, first off I played soccer in them so they're all grass stained :D

Image

I replaced the insoles with some Dr. Scholes, they're much more comfortable now. I cut the insides and outsides, haven't had a chance to shred since then, but they seem a lot better now.

Image

And I also relaced them for more support and a little smaller toe box. They feel a lot better now...

You're just a step away from modding the toe. It's highly recommended that you remove the leather on top. :)

Forgot to put this pic here. I got these sample Lavers from a trade with Benjamin Marquart a week ago. No mods will be done on these shoes, but I may walk in them.

They're leather, and they're sample. Most likely a really rare pair of shoes. The design is very unique: shiny and suede in some parts.

I'm so glad they're in a size 9.
