Questionable shoes for 50 bux? I'd rather get 100 50 cent hoes. Or maybe a pair of $30 lavers and 40 fifty cent hoes.

I would have to say no about these shoes because what is really different about then then the other pair besides the material? I would think they would be just as hard to mod as anyother pair

Yeah those shoes LOOK nice no doubt...I love a good tweed pattern.



However, as far as footbag is concerned, it looks terrible.

so? g units arent athletic, they're for style, um, no serious tennis player would wear lavers anymore; they've got an open toe, i cant see the inside surface....

i might try em... even if theyre not great for footbag, i think they look badass for just a normal shoe, probably better than most shoes for just kicking and 4 square, ya? das es good?

Actually, all shoes made by Reebok are athletically made and tested for sports that may wear the shoe down, ie. Basketball. The idea of fashion is just a societal construct out of the popularity of the shoe.

The Le Coq Sportif line of shoes have been used and tested by some footbag players recently with their new line-up. The results weren't so good, specifically the design of the sole and it's durability. I've read that the sole wears out much faster than Rod Lavers, and the design doesn't work well in comparison to the Rod Lavers. Still, it's good to use and wear around if you want to (especially 4-square). :)
