Thinking about getting them. None of the stores that have Lavers by my house have them. Has anyone tried these out yet? They are mesh and look playable, but I would stick with the classic ones of they are better.

just by looking at it ....it does look playable but the sole doesnt have nearly as good of a clipper stall area as the regular laver.....if your gonna shred in them i would just get the regular lavers 8)

That's what my impressions were. I have a pair of white/green and a pair of white /blue lavers. I have been looking for black mesh lavers in size 11 for 3 months but have not had any luck. I might get these because they look nice.

I actually ran into a pair of these guys in Ohio earlier this year and they suck for freestyle. Madd clipper roll off area. Just sayin. Stylin shoes for just wearing around though

Thank you for the honest reply! They are stylin' for shuffling your feet, not for freestyling.
