Possible Alternative to Lavers/Quantums

I'm not suggesting that these are better, but if you care more about your style and money's not an issue, they're certainly better than chucks or skate shoes. Just putting it out there for people who don't want to be seen in Lavers.

Hey, I love my Lavers, but some people might not. I drew all over mine.

Don't want to be seen in Quantums? Then you're an idiot. ;)

They look freaking tight.

But yeah. I think people have tried those shoes before.

"Don't want to be seen in Quantums? Then you're an idiot. :wink:"

It's understandable that some people might not want to go out (without the intention of shredding) while wearing their modded Quantums (or Lavers) with the toe walls pulled way out.

To each his own, hmm?

I don't know. Whenever I see myself wearing modded Lavers, i thought they looked a bit ugly (in consideration with all of the mods and such - cutting open and pulling out the toe walls, surface mods, maybe a Brocka mod). Then I bought Quantums, and I can't stop wearing them out even with the walls laced open. Since Quantums don't need any mods whatsoever to make them shreddable, i think they look really clean and sleek in comparison to Lavers.

Also, in the case of Zac, he's worn Lavers that has duct tape wrapped around the entire shoe. Aesthetics means nothing to him. :P

I have my toe walls cut off. I think lavers look great! I even modded mine really heavily (ie: Brocka cut, Toe walls Open --> cut off, lace mod, toe surface replaced with facile and inside surface replaced with facile). Individuality, creativity and unorthodoxy (ie: non conformity) will always be infinately cooler than subsurveience to the man via buying expensive, commonplace, "style oriented" garb with no personal flare or meaning... if it's style that you're worried about. I'm of the oppinion that all you need to do is rock your socks, and your socks will rock.

I also get most of my clothes at the Goodwill though. I hate to see money spent on something that the media came up with. Media sucks.

Hopefully someday, somebody will be able to rock footbag hard enough that it will rock in everyone else's eyes the way it does in ours.

That shoe looks futuristic. Doesnt look to good for footbag though. Its like a booster rocket shoe with added drink holders for quick and slightly acces to drinks. There's also a microwave in the back for quick mini pizzas, though nothing bigger then one mini bagel bite will fit in it. It's the perfect camping shoe. You got a whole house in there.
