I got my G-Units. They are pretty f'n fly, but sadly, they are like a half size to almost a whole size too big :cry:

I think I will wait until next year to buy some size 9 us units and mod them. These shoes will simply be my street shoes. Maybe when they are all dingy, I will mod them.......

So sad.

I love my lavers! I credit Abram Santana for showing me the sharpie mod! Though we use industrial strength sharpies hence why they show up so well. The only thing is if you want them to stay really black or really red you have to touch them up a few times, but its really easy to do.

K. Those are sick. I've always wanted goonit spinners, and black and gold is just straight pimp. If I were to mod them, I would just cut the tonguestays and that's it. Same as I did with my black lavers. That way they're kind of shredable, but still look good and in perfect condition otherwise.

1.) my friend has a pair of watermelon lavers. He did it in class one day; they are green and red with black seeds (all marker). i will try to get a picture.

2.) i notice that everyone pretty much has boring laces ( i have only looked at like 10 pages or so of this thread) as a rule i have two different colored laces :D

3.) i didnt see a lot about dying....i am planning on dying my shoes soon, anything i need to know? i want to do 4 colors, the tongues will be two different colors and then the shoe parts will be two different colors. or would you recomend markers? will that stay? and if so, what kind of markers?

4.)where do you get all blue lavers?

Blue Lavers are hard to find, since Adidas do no make them any more :)

Also to be really cool like you, I noticed no one used the same lacing as me how boring, and the fact I did black and white laces o.0 guess I need colors.

I did mention that industrial sharpies will in fact stay on! All you need to do is touch them up every month or so (depending on how faded you want them).

Ok so I look at Zac's Quantums, and try switching to industrial strength sharpies. With the fabric of the Quantum, you need to press down instead of going across let it soak the marker so to speak. The Result... this (there is some green on there due to me mowing the lawn :( and nothaving any other shoes to use)

Actually, I'm hoping for it to fade so that it will match the quantum's color better. ;)

Everyone has such cool lavers now.

why use a sharpie when you can use a fabric marker???

I havnt moved onto my lavers yet but here are my non-footbag shoes i flashed up with a fabric marker

Image

Image

although it doesnt look like block colour this is because of a textured pattern shoe where the different finishes change the tone of the marker

but this sets in when ironed and would not need touching up and creates stronger colour than a sharpie

Image

the t shirt was done with a fabric marker as well

The industrial strength is a nice method, might try fabric later to comapre. Also touch ups aren't really needed its just how dark/bright do you want the color? Not to mention takes less than three minutes to touch them up.

Not to mention David liked Abrams and my sharpie shoes, and Lon said I probably had the coolest lavers at the Green Cup (because best of both lavers! Black and red :) . Which of course totally made my day.

did you take out the canvas layer on the toe? I think that's my favorite mod for lavers...

You probably shouldn't have cut your walls off. ;)
