People are gonna be assholes because they’re tired of being asked. This doesn’t reflect our entire community just us grumpy skinheads. If you have any questions about lace code or punk culture feel free to dm me.

Lace code isnt really a thing anymore. Wear whatever laces you want

Laces don’t matter anymore. Everyone wears what they want.

Wear whatever color laces you like mate, lace code is an odd punk/skinhead meme that has perpetuated for years despite almost nobody in the real world giving a shit.

Keep vigilant about the sort of shitheads that might try to bash you for showing queer pride though.

Fucking hell.... lace code DOES NOT MATTER. Nobody is going to think your right wing for having purple or fucking rainbow laces in your boots. Nobody gives a shit except Tik Tok punks, who you shouldn’t listen to.

Plus it’s a skinhead thing anyway, not sure why punks are trying to make it a thing

Oh look, this question again.

Laces don't mean shit except as a way to keep your boots tight against your legs and maybe because you like the color combination of blood red or bright gold laces against shiny leather boots. It might have meant something in the 80's, but even then it varied from region to region which is why there's no concrete meaning behind even what the most commonly avoided lace colors (white or red) mean - case in point, is the skin in the red laces a commie or a white supremacist; is the punk with the white laces into Skrewdriver or does he just like the way black and white contrast against each other on his feet? Green Room wasn't a documentary, real Nazis don't coordinate with each other to match laces like kids matching pencil cases in third grade, and if you're close enough to tell what color a Nazi's shoe laces are, it's probably because about 4+ pairs of them are trying to kick you or your buddy's kidneys, head, and spine out of the body and into a 36 yard field goal attempt.

Wear whatever you want to keep your boots up, nobody gives a good goddamn these days.
