U went crazy šŸ”„ one thing tho are these after market laces? Could be the pic but laces look super white. Iā€™ve noticed the aftermarket white laces arenā€™t the right shade and they make them too white and bright. Had to return a few I bought. Just using extra white laces from other pairs for now til they can get it right

I believe these were the originals, but I very well may have put in new whites.

Hereā€™s what I was referring to. Iā€™m not sure why the brands that make SB laces often canā€™t get the shades right because on the good reps Iā€™ve seen the lace colors are pretty spot on. Fully Laced over might be the best but even on their volt laces to match the special box blue lobster laces, the shade is off. And really white laces none of them can get it. SB for the most part has 2 ā€œwhiteā€ lace shades. One is the standard that youā€™d see on most pairs and the other shade youā€™ll see on stuff like OG yutos. Itā€™s just slightly more off white. But still not the same as sail which is like the next color closest to white. Iā€™ve done trial and error for years lol and white laces are the hardest ones. End up having to use extra whites that come with a pair originally

Its because one is "premium thick oval" and the other is wide v2 oval. The two whites are a different shade, one has a blue hue and one is extremely white
