Details & care
A 1970 court shoe jumps from a pro-grade staple to a modern street sneaker that still brings its OG colorways and sleek, back-to-basics profile to the game. Preppy looks pair with underground vibes to keep it universally sporty and rare-find distinctive.

Nobody asked for this change, so disappointed.
Have been faithfully wearing my 2021 Rod Laver's (H02191) for years and ordered these as a replacement and I am SO DISAPPOINTED! These are NOTHING like my previous pair. The sole and outsole is hard as a rock, the padding in the heal is non-existent. It's super stiff, very heavy and clunky. What is this and why was it changed??? This is the G99863 so if you're looking to replace an older pair with polyurethane soles, you're not going to like this shoe one bit. Please bring the old model back. Wish I could get my money back for these. Boo!

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

Best shoes ever!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh man, the way they fit, the way they look, and the way Rod Lavers have been in my life for over 50 years. My only request is that they should come in more color options.
