No, i think they compliment the rest of the shoe well. Colored laces tend to throw off the flow of a fit by pulling too much attention downwards. If that's what you're going for it's a cool effect, but having it by default feels too strong.

Lacism :kelly:
yes. safety orange (unironically)
Ooh yes that would slap. What do you think about like an autumn-ish leaf orange though? I don’t personally do a lot of bright colors
Mmm yeah I looked at stuff like “burnt orange” and it’s just reminiscent of diarrhea lol brighter is the way to go
Maybe a pastel orange
i'm not big on bright colors either, but shoelaces are an easy exception for me personally — it's just a little accent which makes it less overwhelming. And I bet it'll be counterbalanced by the heavy neutrals in your shoes
Yeah plus I generally wear dark neutral pants. Navy, black, grey, should all match well.
Really? For me bright colors always were the definition of overwhelming
Depends on the quantity and the context. Shoelaces are at most a couple cm^2 spread across a ~20cm^2 area, in the context of the entire surface area of a person. They're also a bit out of the way.
I had a pair of new balance sneakers like that I literally ran into the ground the sole came off so I was forced to duct tape it back together.
I did the same thing (not with this particular kind, but with sneakers from NB) and then I eventually went to try to buy an identical pair and it turned out they didn't make that particular model anymore. Which sucks, those were the best fitting shoes I ever owned.
And on topic I wouldn't change the lace color, I think they look good as-is.
Can't go wrong with fluorescent pink
I personally love the creamy white-olive green combo. But if I wanted something more flashy, I would probably go with burgundy coloured ones.
New balance spotted. Send in the ASICS Assasins and Brooks brigade
Not to kink shame or judge, but wouldn't it just be easier and less messy to change the laces themselves?
That’s the idea lol what did you think I was gonna do?
Obviously, my joke didn't land. Don't mind me, I'll just go dye in the corner.
Haha sorry, at least that one did!
