Jordan 4 Replacement Laces
What length lace does a Jordan 4 need?
For the Air Jordan 4, 63" and 72" both work — the right one depends on how you lace:
- 63" — if you lace loose, or only run the laces to the 7th–8th eyelet (the most common look on an AJ4).
- 72" — if you lace all the way up through every position and want extra length to tie or hang.
When you're between the two, size up to 72" and tuck the extra — it's far easier than fighting a lace that's too short. We deliberately stock these exact lengths because the AJ4's lacing depth sits right in this range; a generic 54" lace (fine for a Jordan 3) will leave you short on a 4.
Best laces for the Jordan 4
The AJ4 is a flat-lace shoe, so every option below is a flat lace in the lengths that fit it:
- Nike / Jordan / Dunk Replacement Laces — our most popular flat replacement lace, stocked deep in 63" and 72". The straightforward, true-to-original choice for restoring a clean AJ4.
- 100% Cotton Flat Laces — a softer, premium cotton finish in 63" and 72". Subtle colors that pop without looking synthetic.
- Waxed Cotton Flat Laces — a waxed sheen for a more elevated, structured look.
- Vintage Faded Laces — hand-dyed, sun-faded tones that pair especially well with OG and aged colorways.
How to lace your Jordan 4
The AJ4's wings let you choose how high you route the lace. For a clean, classic finish most people criss-cross to the 7th–8th eyelet (63" is plenty here). For a fully laced, tie-at-the-top look, run all positions and go 72". Either way, measure your old lace tip-to-tip if you want to match it exactly — and remember the eyelet routing, not just shoe size, drives the length you need.
