This review is from: adidas Originals Men's Rod Laver Leather Perf Tennis Shoe (Shoes)

This is the first pair of Adidas shoes I've ever purchased. The gift certificate for future purchase from Amazon actually was what made me try these. The shoes are actually VERY comfortable and has a lot of grip (perfect for tennis... you don't want to slide around the court). The styling is classic and will never die.

Before these, I wore only Vans and Nike "van's fit" shoes (for about 12 years now lol). I thought I could never get a fit like those shoes until I came across these. The style and fit are quite similar and the quality of materials is actually a little bit better. It's quite a buy for a leather shoe at this price. The Vans just aren't as upscale but cost a little more. Go figure!

Once these are worn out, I'll end up getting another pair. I've been using them for about 3 months now and they have been broken in but still look as new as the first day I bought them (I don't take care of shoes!). Simply amazing.
