Waxed Round Laces – Sail

Round wax laces in sail, the soft off white shade Nike uses across many models. Sail sits between white and beige, which makes it right for sneakers with a cream sole, vintage releases and leather that is deliberately not bright white. The wax adds a light sheen and keeps the lace firm. Other shades are in the waxed round laces.

Usage and care

Sail is the logical replacement on sneakers whose original laces have yellowed or faded. Bright white would only make the difference with the rest of the shoe more obvious. Choose 80 cm for 3 to 4 eyelets per side, 100 cm for 4 to 5 eyelets and 120 cm for 5 to 6 eyelets. Sneakers with 6 eyelets per side almost always sit right on 120 cm.
