Customer Reviews adidas Originals Rod Laver

Very comfortable sneaker. Lightweight for summer, which is what I wanted. Looks great on. I love that the original styles are back. This one is timeless.

Old-School Style--But Old-School Cushioning, Too - I'm very pleased overall with these shoes. However, it's worth noting that their authentic old-school styling extends to the cushioning, too. I find these rather stiff in the sole, and not very cushy.

Cool sneaks - Very cool looking; pretty comfortable, but not as much support as "modern" sneaks. These ran 1/2 too big--usually an 11 in Adidas, but took a 10 1/2 in these--but Zappos was great about the return.

Got my vote!! Several years ago I "found" Rod Lavers. I have narrow feet with a high arch. I went back to wearing a "tennis shoe." There is NOTHING like a Rod Laver!! The comfort and fit are exceptional. And when I wear a pair out and need new ones, I go to Zappos first!! Incredible for all day standing.

Adidas Original Rod Laver - This shoe gave me the worst blisters on the top of my big toe ball mound. The problem is where the stitching for the laces are rubs on my feet (both of them). I am still breaking them in. I have never had a shoe that did this to me. They are so cute though.

Why bother? I agree with the earlier reviewer who said that these are a 'fashion' sneaker only. Since when did it become okay to just start making shoes cheaper and cheaper? These are garbage. The soles are now a hard, slick compound that leaves marks, even on themselves! (Lavers never did this before). The construction is just plain cheap. If you compare these latest ones with some made even 5 years or so ago, you'll notice the difference. They even look cheap. I never bother to review anything, but hear this; don't waste your time if you are looking for the 'classic', this ain’t it...

The "Old Skool" look that never looks old... Although I'm not much of a tennis player, these shoes go great w/ any pair of jeans and t-shirt combo! Not too flashy like some other "retro" shoes, these are the real thing...

Most favorite shoe ever!! I love these shoes. Always have. I had a pair for about 5 years when I was in college. Glad I found them on Zappos.

Does look great but could use more comfort for support - I got these shoes on a generous overnight shipping from Zappos. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. Only thing is that at first it's a bit hard on your feet and that it could definitely use more support. I'm quickly getting used to them though. Great looking shoes that are great for people who don't mind having to go through some feet pain in the first few days.

Best "Tennis" shoe ever? The Rod Laver "tennis" shoe is the best casual wearing shoe ever! This shoe goes with everything, jeans, khakis, shorts whatever casual dress you’re going with. I will purchase 1 or 2 pairs every year. Thanks Zappos for continuing to carry the Rod Laver classic "tennis" shoe.

Rod Laver rocks - Everything I wanted and more.

Rod Laver - Great shoe, a little stiff coming out of the box - but I love them!

Comfortable and Cute!! This shoe is everything that I thought a pair of Adidas would be; comfortable, affordable and cute. I wear this shoe to work and I'm on my feet all day, and this shoe keeps up with me and I love it!!

True Tennis Shoe - Would recommend. Looks good with shorts or jeans, even could pull off with khakis. Very versatile, very classic. Just great all around tennis shoe.

I love My Rod Lavers' I have worn Adidas for many years and have been looking for my style of shoe. The "Rod Lavers" are just my style, very, very comfortable and good looking. My son has now purchased a pair also. Thanks you Zappos for having these shoes. Les S

Classics - I've always loved these, but they don't make them in a 15, so I tried a 14 anyway. They took awhile to stretch out, but now they're fairly comfortable. Great Shoes.

Rod Laver review - I love the look, but they aren't comfortable at all. The sole insole burns my feet, and the mesh cuts into the front of my feet.

Cute, lightweight, comfortable shoes. No arch support whatsoever, but I love the classic green.

These hurt - I'm an Adidas guy. All my shoes are Adidas. These actually hurt my feet. Then when I step and my foot flexes the metal eyelet digs in to my foot. I can't return these since I wore them for a full day to try to break them in. They now just sit on my shoe rack.

Will be returning these... made a mistake with the size. My entire family wears these - children and adults. Great old school sneaks. With Rod Laver's, all Parents can look hip when out and about with the youngsters too!!!

I bought these for my husband thinking they were the same as they used to be 20 years ago, but they are not the same shoe. These are a fashion sneaker, not the tennis shoe they used to be. The sole is a hard, slippery plastic feeling compound and they do not have the insides of the original model. They look good, but don't be fooled into thinking they are for athletic purposes.

Classic Appeal - This is a classic shoe with a broad appeal. The retro look, with its clean lines and green accents, makes this shoe a perfect fit with vintage washed jeans and a Lacoste polo, a baggy track suit and several gold chains, or short white shorts and a wooden tennis racket. Whether you're a fan of old-school tennis, following the latest urban trends or are simply enjoy an easy classic style, you can't go wrong with the Rod Laver.

Always a good choice - I haven't owned a pair of Adidas in years, I usually buy Puma, Asics Tigers, and Royal Elastics, but these shoes are money. I highly recommend these; they look old school and will continue to be a hot shoe as long as they make em.

These shoes are great shoes. They fit well and they have a low arch. Fell like your playing with a soft cloud. These are the best shoes ever worn.

Love them! Love these sneaks, they remind me of my childhood. Very lightweight and comfortable.
