Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations Winter is coming. And it has now reached the season where NIKE and ADIDAS debuts exclusive colorways, making use of wool, for their popular sneaker silhouettes. I have not heard anything from NIKE yet, but ADIDAS has certainly pique our interest with their new NMD Wool Charcoal. It features a dark charcoal wool, with black three strips on the side panel. A white boost midsole is contrasted with a black outsole. The overall look still keeps with the traditional R1 look, but the wool look makes it that much more comfy and cosier. Click...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations Ever since some random sneakerhead decided to color his midsoles, took a picture of it and posted in on Instagram, the hype surrounding colored BOOST midsoles have been crazy. We have seen so many customed BOOST midsoles that ADIDAS was bound to notice it and decide to experiment on their own. ULTRA BOOST Uncaged has been the result of their experimentation. If I remember correctly, the Uncaged series were the one of the first few silhouettes that received the colored Midsole treatment. Since then, ADIDAS have been coming out with new colored midsoles every...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations Guess what guys? We have another Ultra Boost colorway out! To give them credit, the Ultra Boost 3.0 will probably make their way in stores soon, and they are slowly but surely teasing us with new colorways every day for probably the next few weeks. Royal Blue is the name of the colorway in this post. The shoe is brighter than most of the blues that we are used to, with contrasting heel and cage. As usual, a white Boost midsole and black outsole finishes off the look with the 3.0 signature Primeknit design....

Lace Swap Recommendations  It seems like the only sneaker news you hear these days are those related to NMDs or the Ultra Boosts. If you're in the sneaker scene, you would know that these two are two hottest sneaker silhouettes in the market and getting a pair is a pain in the ass if you're not willing to get one from the resell market. This current iteration of the XR1 sees the silhouette bathed in a black and grey Primeknit upper, matched with a white Boost midsole. The sneaker is highlighted with sky blue accents at the heel and the...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations This month is just full of blue colroway releases, from the "Tech Ink" and "Collegiate Navy", now we have another blue color in the midst. No official name has been given to it yet so I have termed it the "Bright Blue" colorway. Shoot me for being "creative" with names. EVERYTHING is blue except the sole. The upper, the eyelet cage, the laces, the inserts and heel pad. What do you guys feel about all the colorway releases for the NMDs? Do you think they should slow down and instead come up with better...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations This has got to be one of the slickest grey pair of Ultra Boost to be ever released, and without much fanfare too. Definitely not available yet in ADIDAS retail shops, but reports suggest that you can find them at Foot Locker. Should probably wait for some news from ADIDAS before you go hunting for them. The upper looks like it has been spray painted several coats of light grey, and coupled with a jet black heel, it looks extremely gorgeous. I hope this would be a general release, so I can have a...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations The past few days have been a treasure trove of releases for the Ultra Boost. So many new colorways have appeared from the KOLOR collaboration, Hunter Green, Royal Blue, Triple Black etc. Spoilt for choice and running out of cash!!! ROARS. I need to sell my remaining kidney to fund my next sneaker purchase :P In any case, any kind of monochrome colored shoe, dressed up in one of the most popular sneaker silhouettes in the world is bound to sell out fast. The Solid Grey colorway kinda reminds me of the Iron/Mystery Grey...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations The 2016 fall range has been updated with 2 new blue colorways, the "Tech Ink" and the "Collegiate Navy". For this piece of article, we will only be mentioning the Navy colorway. The synthetic upper (not primeknit) sees a dark blue hue with nubuck accents on the heel, with also red pull tabs for a contrasting look. This pair is also are matched with a white BOOST midsole. Not particularly a favorite look of mine, it looks a little too plain for me to wear during the fall. For me, the fall look should...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations The most popular sneaker on the planet currently has just received two new sexy colorways. each featuring set of colorful tri-colored stripes for the 3-stripes logo. Depending on your taste, you can choose either a dark-grey or a black-white colorway. The dark-grey comes with a blue, white and red stripes while the black-white comes with a blue, black and red stripes. When will these be released? Probably this coming December, but like all NMD releases, be prepared to camp at your local retailers to even have a sniff at the chance of owning one....

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Yeezy Boost 350 is arguably the most popular sneaker silhouette in the world right now. It is the most counterfeited sneaker on Aliexpress, and has one of the highest resell value. You can't even cop one without resorting to bots, or paying ridiculous amount of cash. I have connections in the sneaker world, but even I can't get my hands on one sadly :( Like I have always recommended in all my past shoelace recommendations posts, I try not to ruin silhouettes that has a very clean look to them. The Moonrock 350 has a...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations We have already taken a closer look at the Fieg X Adidas Ultra Boost Multicolor colorway that got a number of tongues wagging. What we have here now, is a collaboration between KITH and ADIDAS on an extremely clean pair of Ultra Boost MID in white and silver. A very simple design, yet luxurious in every way. It features KITH branded insoles, an all-white boost midsole, and a chromed out heel-cage for a very slicked out look. Do not spoil such a clean look by experimenting with different colored laces. I would recommend to...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations The ADIDAS Yeezy Boost Oxford Tan 350 has got to be in the Top 3 Yeezy sneakers that has ever been released. The only one I would rate higher than the Oxford Tan 350 would be the Pirate Black colorway, but it's a very close fight. The whole sneaker, including the upper and boost sole, is covered in a light brown, almost khaki colored tan material. The matching laces just completes the overall clean and sleek look. I would not recommend doing a different lace swap for these. Just stick to the laces or if...
