Customer Reviews adidas Originals Rod Laver

I always felt ambivalent about Rod Lavers in the past, since I generally dislike white sneakers. The style was dope, but the color was terrible. As soon as I saw them in black I had to get 'em. They have garnered compliments and the fit is perfect. Incidentally, they come with an extra pair of green laces, which look even better than the conventional black ones.

Surprisingly, these shoes were comfortable for playing tennis, as well as just walking around. I bought them for the old-school vintage look but also found them very practical. They run a little small, so buy 1/2 size larger than your usual size.

I have worn Rod Lavers for 7 years (white/green and white/navy). I was so pumped when I saw the new colors. They look awesome. I get lots of compliments. Buy these shoes!

I really like these sneakers and plan buying them in different colors. Received many compliments.

Awesome shoe. I have a wide foot and these feel great despite the medium width.

These shoes are sick. I can't wait to wear them on casual Friday. I hope no one else at work has them too.

This is my second pair. My first pair was stolen. I love these shoes!

Still cool after all these years. Bought for 17-year-old son -- He loves the look. They do run short from ball of foot to toes. If your toes are on the long side, size up by a half.

The sneakers are a summer must have in NYC. I'm a trendy person, more like a trend setter, and these are so soft and true to size and they came in less than 72 hours. Thanks Zappos.

Great shoe! The mesh is much lighter and cooler to the feet than leather. I wear a 9 1/2 M. I had to send them back and get a 10M in this shoe. They're perfect!

If you like old school and understated these are the shoes. This is probably my 8th pair that I have bought through Zappos.

This is a very nice shoe, felt a bit large and kind of stiff. Still trying to break in after a month.

This shoe really surprised me...I knew I liked the style, but I had no idea how comfortable and supportive they would feel on my feet. I have high arches, and I can actually feel the arch support. They have a lot of cushion in the heel, which is nice. I'm also blown away that they arrived less than 48 hours after placing my order - with no shipping upgrade.

This is my third pair of this shoe. Not normally a white shoe buyer, they stay decent looking for a long time. They are super comfortable and a good go-to shoe.

These shoes are so comfortable. I'm on my 5th pair! They're durable and with the mesh top, they breath and keep my feet cool. I'll be buying more and recommend them without a doubt!

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.

One-third of my shoe-drobe. I love these shoes. I'm on my third pair of Rod Lavers. I alternate between the navy and the green so I don't get bored. They're super comfortable, look good with just about everything, and last awhile. I wish I knew how to clean them better -- they get grungy after a few months in the city. I tend to sideswipe one shoe with the other one when I walk, and the colored toe rubber scuffs the white rubber around the base of the opposite shoe. I don't care, I still love 'em. Side note -- Believe the hype: Zappos has the best all around service of any online retailer I've ever used. They're superb.

The Great Fly ROD LAVERS - The best buy I've made in along time. I wear my Rods with everything. I have all the styles that appear on this site. I have no complaints, they fit just the way they should, fly as can be. They also look good with fat laces. I recommend spraying them with a little scotch guard. For those hard to clean places.

Amazing - I absolutely LOVE these shoes! They are amazing in every way possible.
