I was thinking a topic for potential shred shoes might be good.

anyone seen/tried these?:

So this morning, half asleep I looked down at someones shoes. Instantly I woke up.
"He must play footbag," I thought, "What else would the BSOS be for?"

Turns out it says 8505 not BSOS. I really don't think they would work for footbag, since the clipper surface is weak, and the toe strip would need modded off, but pretty cool either way.

A friend was wearing some Nikes the other day that looked almost exactly like the green and white Lavers, only difference was that they were leather instead of mesh. Has anyone seen/tried these before?

Can you find some pictures of these shoes?

Are you talking about the Nike Air Court Del Mar?

Cuz I've seen them work. Better cushioning than Lavers too.

yeah I use those Nike's, I did some new mods to them and now there sweet. they used to be too heavy now there fine.

Those look almost the same, I think hers were a little more simple (I don't remember hers haveing the extra details on the heal, and they were streight white with green accents) I'll have to take a closer look the next time she's wearing them. I have a couple questions (sorry if their basic, I'm pretty new) does the mesh on lavers grip the bag better then the smooth leather on these would? And would these Nikes need more mods than lavers before they are shredable?

Heavy modding is necessary. Leather's too slippery for shred, so you would have to cut off the leather on the toe and inside surface to find the mesh underneath. These are moddable just like leather lavers and g-units, except for taking the additional stitching off first before removing the leather.

There was another Nike lifestyle shoe on here posted awhile ago. They looked just like lavers in pictures and were simpler like you described. The inside was round and bulbous when we saw it in the store and was not very good for shred. It was about as good for shred as a skate shoe, which isn't very good at all.

What do you guys think about this model?
Tried another pair almost like it today, and gave it a go with my bag...they were pretty sweet, but this model looks interesting...maybe give it a bit shoeglue to make a perfect inside...

They are so light and extremely comfortable..the only thing I miss in my lavers...
