Stretchlace: 47” • 4mm Flat
Number of Eyelets: 8
Length According to Eyelet Guide: 63"-72"
According to the eyelet guide this shoe would be 63"-72" replacement length. However, the stock laces were only 52". The user fit into a shorter length with room to tighten the Stretchlace, because the AF1 are heavier than typical sneakers and we planned for the laces to stretch over time. The user also wanted a shorter bow similar to the original stock laces.

What are the best laces for Nike shoes?

When it’s time to replace the laces on your favorite sneakers, you’ll first want to make sure you know what length works best with your shoes. Laces that are too short or too long can affect your shoe’s performance and looks.

The easiest way to find the right lace length is to measure one of the laces you’re replacing.

If you’re unable to measure the original laces, use the following guide for recommended lengths depending on the number of eyelets on your shoes:

  • 4 eyelets: best with 27 in (69 cm) laces
  • 5 eyelets: best with 36 in (91 cm) laces
  • 6-7 eyelets: best with 45 in (114 cm) laces
  • 8 eyelets: best with 54 in (137 cm) laces
  • 9-10 eyelets: best with 60 in (152 cm) laces
  • 10 eyelets: best with 72 in (183 cm) laces

Remember, these are recommendations only — some Nike shoes may require longer or shorter laces due to their design.

Can I order replacement laces from Nike?

No, Nike doesn’t sell replacement shoelaces, insoles, or charms on Nike.com or in the Nike App. The Original Stretchlace offers elastic replacement laces that fit Nike shoes.
