text: I've worn Laver's since the 70s. Adidas has really dropped the ball on this shoe. It's now too small, too stiff and too heavy. It's no where close to how this shoe once was. How do I know? As I write this, I'm wearing a pair of Rods that are probably five or six years old, maybe older. Adidas champions their line of &#34;originals&#34;, but this is a sad effort, and -- what's worse -- I don't know how much longer I can make my old ones stand up or how I will replace them. Thanks for letting me vent.
