Jordan 4 Shoe Laces
Replacement Laces For The Air Jordan 4
The Air Jordan 4 is one of the trickiest Jordans to lace, and the wrong length is the most common mistake. The AJ4's lace cage and wing eyelets route the lace along a longer path than a standard sneaker, so the stock length laces most stores sell come up short. For a Jordan 4 you want 63" for a clean, standard lacing, or 72" if you run them looser, skip eyelets, or want longer tails. Anything shorter than 63" will leave you fighting to tie them.
We carry the exact lengths the Jordan 4 needs. Our laces come in 36", 48", 54", 63", and 72" rather than the random in-between sizes you find elsewhere. For the AJ4, stay in the 63 to 72" range.
Which Lace Should You Pick?
- Nike / Jordan 1 / Dunk Replacement Laces is our most popular flat replacement lace, in stock in both 63" and 72". The closest match to an OG Jordan 4 lace and the safest pick if you just want them to look right.
- Flat 100% Cotton Laces give a softer, more matte finish in 63" and 72". Good on a broken in retro colorway.
- Flat Waxed Laces add a subtle sheen and a more structured look.
- Vintage Faded Laces are hand dyed in sun faded tones that pair well with OG and aged colorways.
How To Lace Your Jordan 4s
The AJ4's wings let you choose how high you route the lace. For a clean, classic finish most people criss cross to the seventh or eighth eyelet, where 63" is plenty. For a fully laced, tie at the top look, run every position and go 72". Straight bar lacing uses more lace than criss cross, so factor that in. If you want to match exactly, measure your old lace tip to tip.
Frequently Asked Questions
What length laces do I need for Jordan 4s?
Use 63" for a clean, standard lacing or 72" if you lace looser, skip eyelets, or want longer tails. The lace cage uses more lace than a normal sneaker, so anything shorter than 63" will be too short.
What length are the Jordan 4 stock laces?
The factory laces on a Jordan 4 are long, around 72", which is why many people pick 72" to match the original look. 63" gives a slightly cleaner result with less excess tail.
Why are Jordan 4 laces longer than other sneakers?
The AJ4 has a lace cage, the plastic wings the laces thread through, plus extra eyelets. The lace travels a longer path than on a standard shoe, so it needs more length.
Are your laces an exact replacement for Jordan 4 laces?
Yes. Our Nike / Jordan 1 / Dunk replacement laces match the original flat lace in width and finish, so they look like they came on the shoe.
