Nothing Beats A Classic - It's getting harder & harder to find a decent looking pair of sneakers nowadays. Something without all that fancy air cusioning/shock absorption or crazy colors. You know, a pair of sneakers with good old fashion laces as opposed to elastic closures or zippers. You'll also see a lot of new sneakers styled like sneakers from 20 or 30 years ago [like the Reebok G-Unit & S. Carter which my sneakers have been mistaken for buy some of my younger family members]. So I figured why get a remake when the original got the job done. Hence I have just received my second pair of Rod Laver Adidas, the first being bought over a year ago [black/white preforated leather]. I was actually looking for a pair exactly like the 1st but came across these & figured what the hell. They are just as comfortable as the original & it looks like with the canvas like upper it may fair better than the leather pair I have [which is still going strong btw as my daily walker]. All in all a great shoe that I'm seriously considering buying a second pair of just to keep for when the first ones get worn out.

Mike's musings - Have been wearing this shoe for more than twenty years. Looks much better than did earlier. Used to wear a 10 1/2, but sizes have gotten a little tight and now at a 12.

Rod laver - The rod laver is an all around great shoe. The shoe is very light and breaths well. The only problems I have ever had with the Rod Laver tennis shoe is its lack of arch support in the sole, but this problem can be fixed by replacing the already existing insole with a better quality insole.

The Original Tennis Shoe- My grandpa and my dad were both tennis players and I remember them both wearing these tennis shoes when I was a kid. Now my little brother is on his HS tennis team, and when we saw that they started making the Rod Laver tennis shoe again, we had to get it for him. He loved it SOOO much that he wants another pair, and so did both my dad and my grandpa! I hope they don't discontinue it again!!

Fits Like A Glove! Lightweight, good arch support and nice, classic styling. I love these shoes and wear them for playing tennis and just walking around.

LB Evans Slippers - A comfortable slipper which seemed a bit small at first. However, it has stretched out a bit and is now a good fit. I think it is a good value slipper for the money.

This is your classic, white tennis shoe. And with the half sizes you can get a real good fit. I have always had problems with a wide foot size but the medium Adidas are always wide enough. These are classic.

Light & Springy - Very lightweight, but surprisingly good cushioning. Fit is a little odd, however. Narrow up front, but a little wider than expected in the heel.

Awesome shoes- These shoes are a lot more comfortable than I thought they would be. Usually these kinds of shoes aren't really good for walking, but I wore these on vacation recently and walked several miles each day in them with no problems. I also like that they look good with just about any casual clothing- jeans, khakis or shorts. Another thing that is nice about these is that not every twenty-something hipster is wearing these. For people who like their white shoes to stay white, be aware that the suede part on the toe gets dirty really easily and really fast.

Awesome retro - The perfect shoes when you wear casual pants, jeans or shorts. Nothing compares, maybe other Adidas retro tennis, but the color combination of these shoes are awesome.

Until the shoe is broken in, the area where the shoelaces and tongue meet rub and constrict me feet. This is my third pair of Rod Lavers and the others did the same thing. They are now broken in and doing great!

I love these shoes! I work on my feet in a retail store and these shoes are great for standing long hours!

Summer stylin - I loved the leather black and white Rod lavers, maybe my favorite shoes of all time. So it wouldn’t be fair to compare the two since these were canvas. But very nice for the season, fit true to size.
