One of the most important thing that most of my customers fail to consider when buying laces for their Ultra Boost is the size of the eyelet. The eyelets are extremely small and narrow, which only allows for lace tips of certain sizes to fit through holes. That is why at Slickieslaces, we have customised Rope and Flat laces that are made to easily fit through these eyelets without the need to force them through.  Check out the collection of BOOST / NMD Laces Slickieslaces have to offer! However, that doesn't mean all is lost. All you need to do is...

Step 1 Count the number of eyelets. Step 2 3 Pairs of Eyelets - Recommended length is 80cm-90cm 4 Pairs of Eyelets - Recommended length is 95cm-105cm The ADIDAS Ultra Boost Uncaged and NMD series, which comes with 3 pairs of eyelets, require much shorter laces. Especially for the NMDs, which comes at a ridiculously long pair of laces. You should probably change it to shorter ones.  For the original design Ultra Boost (with cage) that comes with 4 pairs of eyelets, I determined that 95cm is the most appropriate length but you can also use up to 105cm for...

Laceswap Recommendations Normally, when you're talking about Roshe kicks, they always come with 4 pairs of eyelets. This time round, with the combination of the Tiempo, the silhouette has been released with 6 eyelets. It's a very clean pair that comes with a white Solarsoft sole. You will also find some gold detailing on the tongue logo and also around the ankles. Need to cop? Nah, plenty of other white kicks out there that deserves your attention.

Colored heels ain't new, you see them on the OG Black Ultra Boost with those purple heels but when ADIDAS releases one in a "Triple White" colorway, you really stand up and take notice. In one of my previous articles, you saw how ADIDAS tried to experiment with colored boost soles, now they are planning to test the market with colored heels? Not sure when these will be released, but if they offer customisation options for the UBs, that would be dope!. Check out the collection of BOOST / NMD Laces Slickieslaces have to offer!

Laceswap Recommendations Kobe might have retired a few months back but his legendary career is still being celebrated even till now. Dubbed the "Great Career Recall", this colorway features a very clean black upper with gold accents. Definitely one to buy in my opinion, simple and sweet, this colorway is a suitable accompaniment to all outfits. Click below for recommended shoelaces!

If you have not been hiding in a forest for the past few days, you would have seen pictures floating around the internet of colored Boost soles. In instagram, you could find pictures of avid collectors customising their kicks by painting over the white Boost soles using paint that you can find on the web. However, ADIDAS must have been observing this trend and decided to cash in on it because they are finally debuting their own line of colored boosts. From the picture above, you could see the Ultra Boost Uncaged with colored boosts. Will we see this trend...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations ADIDAS is on a roll with non-stop releases for the NMDs and Ultra Boosts. In this edition, we see the ADIDAS descript splashed all over the upper in multiple languages. Obviously, the shoe comes in a black/white colorway. Personally, I am not a fan of it, not really into having words on my kicks. These have been released at Titolo on the 4th July. No news on worldwide release as of yet.

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Yesterday, we previewed one of the 2 upcoming colorways of the NMD XR1 Camo Pack. While that was mostly in black and white, this comes in black and grey. As usual, Primeknit forms the mainstay of the material used, and it is overlayed with a black cage. The shoe also comes with a heel strap that is accented with a sweet baby blue color.

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations To me, this new silhouette is a cross between a Tubular and an NMD. The new NMD XR1 Camo Pack will be coming in 2 colorways, both with a digital camo print with splashes of red or blue accents to liven up the kicks. It has a cage overlay and also a heel strap for improved support. When will it be released? I am not sure myself but keep your eyes peeled :) Click below for our recommended pair of laces!   Check out the collection of BOOST / NMD Laces Slickieslaces have to offer! Visit...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations NIKE has been walking down memory lane and revitalising some of the best Kobe colorways from the past. Soon, you will be able to see the Carpe Diem, Bruce Lee and the others make their way to the stores and it also seems like you will also see the "Dark Knight" colorway returning. Unlike the 2009 release, the 2016 Dark Knight does not feature a hint of blue, instead it is all black with hint of grey on the swooshes. Click below for our recommended pair of laces!

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations The Triple White NMDs has been one of the most popular shoes of 2016 so far, and I believe the upcoming XR1s Triple White will be no different. ADIDAS previewed the XR1 during fall, and explained the evolution from the R1 to XR1. In the end, it ended up looking like the Tubulars? But that's my opinion :) Click below for our recommended pair of laces! Check out the collection of BOOST / NMD Laces Slickieslaces have to offer!

If you guys have not been keeping up with the news, let me remind you that as of now, the ADIDAS Ultra Boost Uncaged series have been fucking released! After teasing the normal human beings who can't get their hands on the Hypebeast and Solebox collabs, they are finally doing a general release. But still, people like me who are stuck in the office and unable to queue will still need to pay obscene resale prices to get one. Sad. There will be 6 colorways in all, 3 each for men and women. Queue up fam! Check out the collection...
