The sole material is too rigid or hard poor qty
The sole material is too rigid or hard, the originals from the from the 80’s had s softer sole. I wonder why they chenged the quality of the materials? I love my Rod Laver shoes, they take me back to the 80’s, that makes me happy. But they hurt because of how hard the sole is.

Aint what she used to be
Wore Lavers for 20 years from 1994-2014 when they dropped off the face of the earth. After a decade I manage to snag these....and they either changed or simply aren't as good as I remember.
These are very heavy, pinch in the arch and the heel collar pleather is plain uncomfortable when wearing no-show socks.
I had hoped they would loosen up a bit and break in since March - no such luck. They don't get anywhere close to the wear of my Rogers or Pro Staff 87s

Not Like Vintage Rod Lavar
Got these for my boyfriend and we were both excited as these were his favorites back in the 80’s!
Adidas is not making the same Rod Laver they debuted in the 70’s that’s for sure.
These fit stiff with no break-in period and over all cushion and comfort is lacking.
BF says there is no way he could wear them for a tennis match. Oh yeah, btw, contradictory to the sales associate video on these saying they’re a basketball shoe; the were once a stellar court shoe made for tennis. Thus, the great Aussie Tennis player of the 60’s & 70’s, Rod Laver. 🎾

Classic shoe for all occasions
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Classic shoe for all occasions ! I can't wait for spring to wear with white t-shirt and cropped jeans. Can be dressed up or down.
