Sneaker Lace Length Guide for Nike, Adidas and More

Posted on by outsole

If your sneaker laces are broken or just filthy, they need replacing. Maybe you just want to give your kicks a personal look. And let’s be honest: Nike often misses the mark on the perfect lace combo. We’ve got your back. With over 400 laces in our collection, you’ll find the perfect fit. Focus on width, length, and thickness. Laces are the finishing touch on your sneakers.

The most common question we get is: “How long should my laces be?” Here’s the guide for the right lace length for your Nike sneakers.

How long are Nike Air Max 1 laces?

The ideal lace length for Nike Air Max 1 is 120 cm. This works if you lace to the second-to-last eyelet with a subtle knot. These laces are 8 mm wide. For sizes below EU 38, choose 100 cm. Sizes above EU 45 need 140 cm.

How long are Nike Air Jordan laces?

Air Jordans have more eyelets, so there’s variation. Use 180 cm for Highs. For a loose fit or Mid models, try 160 cm. Lows work best with 140 cm. Smaller sizes? Stick to 160 cm. Measure your current laces if unsure. The 180 cm also fits Nike SB Blazers.
