Choosing Your Cactus Jack Air Force 1 Lace Style Whether you’re a full-blown sneaker head or someone looking to get a sneaker collection started with a clean, easy white shoe, Nike Air Force 1s are a great choice. They transcend trends and have proven to stand the test of time since they were first introduced in the ’80s, long before rapper Nelly wrote a song in homage. Originally a basketball shoe and the first to use Nike’s Air technology, Air Force 1s have become a cult favorite among anyone looking for style and comfort in one shoe, including countless celebrities, athletes, style stars and more. The classic shoe is even still used by some basketball players on the court for training and playing. Once you’ve purchased a pair, the next cactus jackstep is to learn how to lace your new Air Force 1s, as well as how to properly style them to complete the look. Use this guide to learn everything you need to know before stepping out in your new shoes. Air Force 1s come in three heights: high-rise, mid-rise and low-rise. Low-rise styles tend to be the most adaptable for men, women and kids, but it all comes down to personal preference. High- or mid-rise styles generally look better on smaller feet and taller people, but there are no rules when it comes to style. The mid-rise style comes with a connected strap, while the high-rise model comes with a velcro strap. While white is the most popular color, Air Force 1s also come in myriad colors and styles, ranging from a ’70s-inspired red-and-blue palette to all black. While subtle, the way you choose to lace up your shoes says a lot about your personal style. Remember, you don’t have to keep the laces the shoes come with — have fun with different colors! From there, you have several options for lacing. Factory lace Like the way they looked when you bought them? Then keep them as is, but loosen the laces, so they’re not so tight. Keep reading for ways to tie off your laces. The classic under lace For other styles, the first step is to undo the laces as they come out of the box. Next, you’ll want to rethread them through the first eyelets and make sure that the laces are even on both sides before proceeding. This lace style involves lacing your shoes like you normally would any other pair of sneakers, with the laces going diagonally over and down into each eyelet, rather than the reverse.
The classic over lace Opposite of the classic under lace, the classic over lace has the laces going diagonally up through each eyelet. The loop-back lace More complicated than the basic over lace and under lace, the loop-back lace has a few more steps, but the result is very unique. Loop the lace through one eyelet on only one side of the shoe, leaving a nice, loose loop. Take the opposite lace and lace it through that loop before repeating the same process on the opposite side. Pull gently to secure the loops through the center of the tongue. The end result will look like a single twist across each row. The straight or bar lace Even more complicated but more unique is cactus jack the straight lace, which has you first threading up each eyelet before crossing the tongue for a straight line. This is recommended for casual shoe- wearing only. If you plan to be more active in your Air Force 1s, pick another lace style.
