These are nice. One thing about this for me is that I would never be mistaken as British White Supremacist. I’d just be a Black person with some damn good looking shoes. :)

red laces are worn by white supremecist who have earned them by spilling blood… shit. im still tempted to don them :/

borkborkbork has the right idea, the only people that GAF about color code BS are know-it-alls that read about it on wikipedia.

I’m digging the different stitch colours, but honestly, I would steer away from coloured laces. Even in skinhead circles the whole colour code is past its heydey, but I’d get sick of everyone being like OMG DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

although some racist skinheads still adhere to the color codes (ie. white laces for white power/white pride, red laces for bloodshed/aggro or national socialism)
but most regular skinheads (that’s right, the non-racist variety) don’t have any political/racial motivation behind the choice of laces..
I prefer white laces of cherry/oxblood DMs and red laces with black ones, ha.
But keep the yellow stitching, please..

Way to embrace their past I guess…Would it have been that hard for them to throw an different color on these? I mean really it’s like they are asking all the skin heads to come buy a pair to prove that they spilled the blood of somebody from another race…

Do your research DM!!!!

Red laces are a symbol of the skin head movement, specifically tied to the spilling of blood in the name of racial purity. These seem specifically targeted to racial hate groups!

Yeah the red laces…not sure what they were thinking…mybe they thought enough time had gone by.

how can DM not know about red laces and its racist ties… bad look.

Red laces on DMs used to indicate a supporter of the NF (National Front) , a racist organisation in the UK back in the 70′s and 80′s.
I hope DM don’t release these in the UK!
