Sneaker models, especially those based on basketball shoes, come in high, mid, and low-top styles. The height of the upper varies to provide ankle protection and suit the playing style of the individual player. Naturally, this variation in height also affects the length of shoelaces needed.

Streetwear fashion has further influenced sneaker culture, with people experimenting with different lacing styles. This includes using shorter laces to create a deliberately unlaced look. In this way, shoelaces themselves have become a versatile fashion accessory, adding another layer of personal expression to the sneaker culture.

Here, we’ll go through some of the common shoelace lengths and which footwear models are recommended for each of them below.

120cm shoelaces are a good choice for most ankle-revealing low-top sneakers. You can see this with popular models like the Nike Air Force 1 Low, selected Air Jordans, or the Air Max series.

140cm shoelaces are a great choice for mid-cut sneakers, especially those offered by Nike and adidas. You might be surprised, but they can also work well with the Nike Dunk High, or even Air Force 1 Lows and Air Jordan 2 to 5s if you want a longer lace look for that classic on-court vibe.

This is the recommended shoelace length for sneakers that cover your ankles, like the Air Jordan 1 High, Terminator High, and Converse Chuck 70 Hi. As the height of the shoe increases, so should the length of the shoelace for a comfortable fit.
