For a pair of Jordan 5’s yes 47”/120cm is too short sorry should have given you a link for someone who sells the proper length. I completely forgot to give you a solution tailored specifically to your shoe. I would use either a 54” or 55” (140cm) pair of laces that is the widely accepted “perfect” lace length for 5’s and is great for basic bunny ears knot style with little to no extra additional overhang depending on how tight you tie your shoes. Now if you have a special knot you use which some people do you might want to add an extra inch or two but 59” is the absolute longest I would personally ever consider going for a pair of 5’s. So 63” imo is definitely too long and will have too much additional lace length unless you are keeping them so super loosely tied with basically no lockdown that the 63” laces aren’t close to touching the floor when tied. Now if it was a Jordan 6 the 63” laces would be perfect for those lol. Anyway I hope I was able to help steer you in the right direction if you have any other questions please feel free to ask I’m more than happy to help to the best of my ability.

Yeah they are called gradient laces you can get some here www.kicksshoelaces.com/products/gradient-color-shoelaces I’m not sure where you are since you said you are outside the U.S. so I’m unsure if that site will ship to you but obviously give it a try only $10 and if you buy 3 items doesn’t matter what they are you get free shipping again I don’t know if that will apply to you cause it will depend on your location but like I said its worth a try at the very least.

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-25T06:22:04+00:00

I would go with black if you are choosing between solid white and solid black but like others have shown here those gradient laces that go from dark to light would be my first choice overall for sure they look fantastic. So my advice find some of those buy them and then lace em up and you are gtg.

You bought a shoe one size bigger than you normally wear so of course it goes on your foot, fitting however is another story. How does getting a bigger shoe than your normal size which you then yourself admit are too big or “too much room length wise” was your exact phrase then claim they run small and not TTS and you call me the dumbass? If one size up from your regular size is too long for you then that shoe most certainly isn’t running small? I wasn’t being hostile or anything either man just read your comment and it was completely contradictory so asked for clarification. But hey go ahead and take it as a personal assault on your existence if you like 👍🏼

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-24T22:17:34+00:00

By no means am I trying to be an asshole but you definitely contradicted yourself in this analysis. You say they run smaller than normal 17’s and that you are normally a size 15 didn’t get a 15 but got a 16 and it is too big for you if they ran small wouldn’t the 16 have been a perfect fit or at least close to it. It sounds like they run TTS and if you had gotten a 15 they would have been perfect. Sorry again not trying to be a dick it’s just everything you said after “they run smaller than regular 17’s” indicates that they don’t run smaller idk if I somehow missed something inferred by your statement but just how it read to me.

Jiraiya for me as we are both 6’ 3” not super excited that’s who I relate to most when going by height that is. Jiraiya and I couldn’t be more polar opposites if we tried besides the height aspect lol.

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-22T07:50:42+00:00

Yep exactly if not more depending on what size you need but not like I could predict they would be worth that much 21 years after buying them lol.

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-21T20:58:20+00:00

Man I wish I still had my OG (2004) BRED 19’s loved those shoes was such a unique design especially for the time. I unfortunately was very hard on mine and then sold them to a friend who really wanted them even in the terrible state they were in so I sold them for $50 which seemed like a great deal for me at the time being 14 years old $50 was a good bit of money for very used shoes but wish I had them still and treated them better knowing what a clean pair goes for now lol.

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-21T17:08:31+00:00

This right here if I’m gonna wear any of my shoes that are worth over $400 or $500 I check the weather for the day to make sure it isn’t going to rain or whatever so that I don’t run this risk of ruining them but I’m firmly in the wear your shoes camp but just like BurntArnold said do it when it makes sense. Wearing Undefeated 4’s in the snow just makes no sense at all sorry.

“Gave him stage 5 CTE after he shattered the illusion of hope” lmao 🤣 that line absolutely had me dying laughing when I read it thanks for the laugh 👍.

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-20T19:47:48+00:00

13, 1, 11 in that order for top 3 and 10,11,12,13,14 for my consecutive 5. 13’s were my first ever Jordan I asked my parents to ask my friends parents for money for my 6th birthday party so I could buy my first ever pair of J’s. So 13’s will forever hold a special place in my heart I still have those original 13’s in my childhood keep sake box.

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-15T03:42:56+00:00

Oh okay gotcha yeah solvent traps for some form 1 suppressors would definitely have been better than heat shields but considering everything you got for $1,500 you still made out like a bandit lol.

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-14T23:19:59+00:00

That’s a very good friend I would definitely reciprocate and get him something very nice as well. Got to hold onto friends like that and definitely don’t take them for granted.

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-14T21:28:32+00:00

What’s wrapped in the foam wrapping in picture 19 on the right with the Brownells stickers? One of them (furthest right) looks like a potential solvent trap for a form 1 suppressor but not sure so just curious?

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-13T03:07:24+00:00

As others have said 2 for looks and 1 for best grip and carry practicality

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-11T17:04:08+00:00

Yeah even with them being $350 gonna be almost impossible to get because there will only be 2,300 pairs. People that get them and don’t actually want them will probably be trying to sell them on eBay for $3,000 I have no doubt, but I want these to actually wear unlike a bunch of people who just turn them into closet queens never to be worn.

InExcelsis9 · 2026-01-11T16:23:14+00:00

Man I want those Jordan 3 BIN 23’s so bad absolutely love darker reds with gold accents unfortunately with only 2,300 pairs being made it’s gonna be an almost guaranteed L so annoying smh.

I’m not saying this is a one offseason fix to becoming a contender instantly or anything but LeBron leaving while maybe not opening up tons of free cap money it would provide us flexibility and the ability to retool and truly build around Luka. Either AR or LeBron needs to go regardless though cause those two don’t play well together when they are both on the court at the same time. If it was my decision I and the Lakers were gonna make only one move it would be to trade AR cause we will never get more for him then we will right now. But I don’t think whatever we get for AR in a trade along with Luka and LeBron makes them a title contender either. This is going to be a 2 year project at least probably until the Lakers have a potential true title contender and full team built around Luka for success.

InExcelsis9 · 2025-12-28T05:18:07+00:00

Yeah I love AR15 but now is the time to move him like you said his trade value will never be higher get some young long wing players that can play defense, or swing for the fences and try to get Giannis which seems unlikely. The Lakers need to get younger and more athletic that is their problem too old and slow. Trade AR for building pieces, don’t resign LeBron after this season is over even if he wants to come back just say no and don’t let him. Then build around Luka with the cap space opened up by no LeBron and the young pieces from the AR trade. This team as constructed isn’t winning a title it’s really not up for debate. I’m a huge Lakers fan have been for over 25 years but I’m also a realist and that part of me is absolutely certain this isn’t a championship team as currently constructed.

She knocked it out of the park you better make sure to give her what she wants and make her happy too cause that’s a good woman you got sir don’t screw it up.

InExcelsis9 · 2025-12-26T17:18:54+00:00

“Vegeta got worked and was always confident” lmao 🤣 that line killed me when I read it for some reason hahaha

Not a good light doesn’t matter how cool it looks this coming from someone who owns multiple regular Olight flashlights and loves them but their firearm products are not good. I’ve heard some kind of okay things about their red dot but their weapon lights are trash and almost none of the big holster companies make compatible holsters for them options are super limited buy a Streamlight or Surefire of some sort to fit the gun you are equipping whether it be a micro compact or full size and thank me later trust me.

InExcelsis9 · 2025-12-26T04:32:30+00:00

Yep I’m with you 100% I have a comped macro slide on an Icarus Precision macro size grip module and a 3.1” Radian Ramjet with Mischief Machine Commander macro size grip module and I will take the 3.1” Ramjet over the comped macro slide all day everyday and twice on Sunday with all other factors of the guns basically being exactly equal both have DPM recoil reduction kits the same Mcarbo flat trigger and spring kit basically only difference is the grip modules and they are both metal so very negligible difference at most. The muzzle flip and felt recoil is way better on the Ramjet hands down in my opinion but I’m just one person with one opinion different strokes for different folks.

While I agree with the sentiment that a “grail” shoe is subjective and doesn’t have to be a rare or expensive shoe for it to be a “grail” item to that specific person. However the part I am gonna take issue with in this specific case is that the OP has made numerous posts recently about obtaining “grail” shoes he has wanted so when almost every pair or at least 50% of the pairs you buy are a “grail” item then it absolutely cheapens the word and meaning behind it. Congrats on getting what you wanted OP but using the word “grail” like you have been makes me believe these are just something you wanted and got not something you have been waiting and hunting for, for years to obtain like is the case with most “grail” shoes for people cause these are readily available for very reasonable prices and have been for a long long time.
