Very Flash Shoes- Need Laces to Match

I just got some red and blue metallic tennis shoes.
Looks like something that Bowie would wear if he overcame shyness.
Real superhero look to them.
Anybody know where I can get laces to match?
They were made by Dada, patent leather.

I have high top canvas sneakers, olive green, embroidered with shiny metallic copper and orange flowers. Hot Topic, alas, had nothing in those color ranges, and the hemp strings which came with them are tacky and weak. Right now I'm using gold ribbons, but I fear I may have to make my own if eBay doesn't come through for me.

Thats another cool idea AntiM, maybe thinner ribbons in a indian braid 3 strand, then scotch tape the ends...or better so they dont get goopy on playa those lil' metal bands.

oh BTW...you can get those lil' metal bands pretty inexpensively at Beauty supply houses that carry hair extension supplies.

I got some black and white checkered ones if you want that. I'll be gifting folks with Carnival masks and gummy bears, so I'm excited!!

Black and white would work.
I'd like to match the color, but I know it's a long shot.
Thanks.

Can you post a picture?

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 5:54 pm

Not yet.
These deserve a photo though.
Real luck finding them.

I was trying to find a link but I can't get it to work.
But these are interesting.

This is the only photo I could find and it doesn't really convey.
They have a new pair in silver with an mp3 player built in.
Mine are metallic blue with the side panel in metallic arrest-me-red.

I got these, much nicer in hand than in the picture, and quite comfy. I did have to add an insole for a bit more cushion:

I've been looking at some puma speedcats.
Like wearing slippers and seem to be on sale everywhere now.
Great fit for me.
Not a lot of cushion but very nice.
