Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for NMD XR1 Core Black What's next for NMD silhouette? ADIDAS has been pretty quiet the past few weeks with new releases. Normally, new colors are churned out every week non-stop. I think that they have finally realised that no matter how popular a silhouette is, too much is not good for hype. This colorway got me thinking "Why haven't they come up with these in the first place?". Black and White should be a basic colorway that should be one of the first OG releases. Upper is made of mesh and it has a leather...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for ADIDAS NMD Hu Trail Core Black Pharrell's collaborations with ADIDAS has made quite a significant impact on ADIDAS's business so far, both financially and branding wise. Just a few days before this article, several colorways of the Tennis Hu was released. This November, ADIDAS will be released the NMD Hu Trail pack, in Core Black and Noble Ink colorways. Personally, I will only be copping the Core Black as I prefer neutral colors. Click below for our recommended pair of laces! I will stick to solid white or black laces for this pair. Check out...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for Ultra Boost MID Run Thru Time

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for NMD R1 Japan Triple Black It doesn't seem like ADIDAS is planning to slow down its NMD releases anytime soon. After a slew of designs hit retailers on July 13th, ADIDAS released a preview of its NMD R1 Japan Triple Black. If you were one of those that did not manage to get a pair, this is definitely one that you should try harder to cop. This NMD R1 features black woven upper with black stripes that is barely visible due to it being the same shade with the primeknit upper. It also comes with...

A closer look at the Ultra Boost 4.0 This is the closest we will ever get to a 1.0 design as I don't think ADIDAS plans to go back the OG. However, I have say that if the 4.0 design is truly as it is in the picture above, it is a definitely a step forward from the 3.0. The 3.0 with its "cum cage" was a hype killer, even till now as some colorways are still sitting in stores. The 3.0 has an arrowhead primeknit design, similar to the 1.0. One big thing that also changed, was the removal...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for the NMD XR1 Size? X Henry Poole The ADIDAS NMD silhouettes has always been known to be trendy and stylish appeal, but classy? I don't think many would equate wearing NMDs to being classy but now all that might change. The NMD silhouette is about to mature into a "grown man" as it teams up with Size? and historic tailor Henry Poole on two new sneakers, the XR1 and R2. We will only be writing on the XR1 in this article. The Size? X Henry Poole XR1 comes in navy, black and white and is...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for NMD R1 French Grey Don't try to fix what ain't broken. What I'm trying to say is, trash the R2 and stick to the R1. The NMD R1 French Beige was one of the more awesome releases of the NMD silhouette. Sold out and fetching for quite a high resell price, ADIDAS clearly noticed its popularity and is planning a release of a couple more colorways. It is a simple design, with a tonal primeknit on the upper and french letterings on the front midsole bumper. Nothing loud, but it looks great. These however, are...

NMD / Ultra Boost Japanese Katakana Laces and how it all started 5 months ago, Slickieslaces was doing well but we were always trying to find that one product that will help catapult us up. One day, I came across this listing on a marketplace which sold a pair of NMDs at a crazy mark-up because the tabs had the Katakana letterings. From then on, I was inspired to create my first batch of Limited Edition Katakana Laces which till now, is still in demand. There were lot of issues when I was trying to manufacture these laces. For one,...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for ADIDAS NMD R1 Primeknit Greyscale I am glad ADIDAS is coming up with new colorways for the R1 and not continually blasting out R2 colorways that will never sell out. R2 has been one of their biggest failures so far, and I hope they will either revamp the design and just trash the silhouette. The R1 Greyscale will be released during the same time as the Red Apple 2.0, which will probably be the hottest NMD release thus far. The greyscale consists of a black and grey upper, with black stripes. Nothing new or exciting,...
