Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for Ultra Boost MID Run Thru Time

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...

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,...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations for the ADIDAS Ultra Boost 3.0 Multicolor Ltd NIKE is mainly the one responsible for the current hyper surrounding multicolored uppers. With it's highly popular Multicolor Flyknit Racers, they cornered the sneaker market with it. But right now, Adidas is riding on the wave and releasing a bunch of multicolor primeknit kicks to steal a share of the pie. The 3.0 Multicolor Ltd looks extremely similar to the Chinese New Year UB edition, but it's definitely not the same. For one, the primeknit design of the 3.0 is very distinct, with its raised parallel lines. The...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for Ultra Boost 3.0 Indigo It seems like a never-ending supply of 3.0s and R2s is ADIDAS's 2017 plan for us. This time round, we see an indigo hued 3.0, which almost looks like a black pair of shoes if you don't peer closely. Indigo covers the entire Primeknit upper, with also an indigo colored TPU cage. The insole however comes in neon instead of the usual black. Nothing special there as no one cares about the insoles. Disappointing release in my opinion. Click below for replacement shoelaces.

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for ADIDAS Ultra Boost 3.0 Purple There's not many purple Ultra Boosts in existence. In fact, I don't think any exists? Correct me if I am wrong. The only Ultra Boost that has a hint of purple would be the OG Ultra Boost 1.0, with a purple heel cap. This latest colorway features a blend of Energy and Noble Ink colors, with a bright purple striped cage. The look is completed with a White Boost and black continental outsole. This is probably a general release, and  won't generate much hype but definitely, it will still be...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations for ADIDAS Ultra Boost 3.0 Blue Petrol No guys, this is not the super limited Ultra Boost Parley. This is the GR Blue Petrol that is due for release in fall 2017. Something cool to wear for the hot summer. In the past few weeks, I am pretty sure you guys have noticed that NMDs are dying off. It is just not that popular as before. The Ultra Boost however, is still going strong and will probably die off anytime soon. They just need to get the design right (bring back the damn 1.0 Primeknit upper)....

ADIDAS Ultra Boost 4.0 Preview Join our Group and visit us at Slickieslaces.com for the largest Ultra Boost/NMD Laces collection. We have barely reached the midway point of 2017 but we are already getting a preview of what is to come in 2018 for the Ultra Boost silhouette. From the limited pictures available, what I can observe here is that the primeknit pattern on the upper has been changed into a traditional pinstripe pattern. For the cages, it seems like they have gone back to the solid colored cages, instead of the translucent cum-colored ones. That is definitely a good...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations for Ultra Boost 3.0 Triple Grey Join our Group and visit us at Slickieslaces.com for the largest Ultra Boost/NMD Laces collection. Do not confuse this colorway with the Metallic Silver Pack that was recently launched. While the "Metallic Silver" had a silver BOOST midsole unit, the "Triple Grey" has a similar color, but it is more of a dark grey than it is to silver. Set to release in August, this will definitely whet the appetite of those who missed the Metallic Silver. The Primeknit upper consists of several shades of grey. One thing to...

The 1st Japanese Katakana Laces collection was a crazy overnight success. Stocks were sold out within a week of release which considering the lack of marketing, was a pleasant surprise for our team. These Japanese inspired laces were definitely not an impulse decision to make. We were always inspired by the minimalist and clean cut look of Japanese design and as such, decided to mimic that minimalist look on our laces. The "HUMAN RACE" Kanji laces were inspired by one of Pharrell's unreleased NMDs. Not sure why he never release those, but we thought that in these times of turbulence,...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations The Ultra Boost 3.0 Trace Khaki features a light brown Primeknit upper with black threads running through it. The cage and the hell cap also features the same light brown color with black "Ultra Boost" logo. The clean look is complete with an all white BOOST midsole and a black Continental outsole. Don't have an exact release date but it is due to be released some time in July. My personal opinion is that the main Khaki color definitely looks awesome but they definitely need to phase out the Ultra Boost 3.0 design and bring...
