Jordan 1 Shoe Laces
Replacement Laces For The Air Jordan 1
The Air Jordan 1 is the most iconic sneaker ever made, and the most lace swapped. Whether you are replacing a frayed stock pair or changing the color to match a new fit, getting the length right is what separates a clean lace job from a sloppy one. The most common mistake is buying a single Jordan length without accounting for whether you have a High or a Low.
Air Jordan 1 High: use 63" for a clean, standard lacing, or 72" if you lace all the way to the top eyelet or want longer tails. The AJ1 High has 9 eyelets, so it runs long. 63 to 72" is the range.
Air Jordan 1 Low: use 54". The Low has fewer eyelets and needs noticeably less lace than the High.
We stock our laces in 36", 48", 54", 63", and 72", deliberately chosen lengths that actually fit instead of the random in-between sizes most shops sell.
Which Lace Should You Pick?
- Nike / Jordan 1 / Dunk Replacement Laces is our most popular flat replacement lace, in stock in 54", 63", and 72". This is the closest match to an OG Jordan 1 lace and the safest pick for both Highs and Lows.
- Flat 100% Cotton Laces give a softer, vintage finish in 63" and 72". Good for the sail and cream look on retro 1s.
- Vintage Faded Laces are hand dyed for a worn in aesthetic. Limited colors and lengths.
How To Lace Your Jordan 1s
The most popular look is straight bar, with the lace running flat across each row, for a clean OG finish. Straight bar also uses more lace than criss cross, so do not go too short. Plenty of people leave the top eyelet unlaced on a High for a looser fit. If that is you, size up to 72" so you have enough tail to tie.
