These shoes look goog for shredding
Any opinions??
Nick landes uses these shoes but im not sure if there the milleniums
Look modable, if they are please post how to do it.
They also come in wide so if your feet are wide and lavers aren't cuttin it i dont see why these aren't the solution

I have these shoes, but I don't shred in them. For the whole modding thing, there just like leather laver's, you have to cut off the outside leather and leave the inside mesh layer.

Nick doesn't use those shoes anymore.... he uses lavers now and those aren't the ones you want (I dont think so atleast) get the normal ones

They're exactly identical to the Rod Laver Milleniums, except they're leather. Great find!

I've only had experience with Sunil's Rod Laver Milleniums, but these shoes look great. They might be a bit heavier seeing that they're Nastases. I don't know.

Mine are the same weight as my reg nastases, maybe even a little bit lighter!

On that same link, i saw these shoes under "similar shoes, they look like leather lavers with stripes, with a stan smith sole, generic name

Do you think these could subtitute Lavers for a shoe, or should I just stick with Lavers? My next investment will be shoes...

I would just stick with lavers since you have access to them whenever you need them

/2 cents

You should only get them if you can hit everything on command. They have a "smaller" inside area than lavers.

So would these shoes be playable for sure?

edit:so the layer on the inside and toes are thin so theres more feel to the bag?

They are, but you have to be very accurate.

Lavers it is then.

Do you think with a Stan Smith type sole, the shoe would be heavier for the Adidas Tennis Pro? It seems like a good find.

I'm just pretty excited that a Millenium-type model has reappeared. The Rod Laver version is all but extinct I think.

They actually have a rod laver version of this shoe. Same thing but not the millenium style(its just a new leather rod laver shoe it seems)

I couldn't find the milleniums anywhere in that list.

I was talking about the Rod Laver Milleniums. Y'know, the Rod Laver version, not Nastases?

What I see are Nastase Milleniums. They're leather, and for all we know it could be heavier than the Rod Laver version. The Rod Laver Milleniums are extinct. That's what I was talking about.

Chad D still has 2 pairs left and another old school shredder still has a pair he uses.... not quite sure of his name....
