Maybe this is the northeast chapter, I hear they don't like Catholics.
Funny thing about hate, no matter how homogeneous or diverse your group, some people always find ways to hate.
It's like the Star Trek Episode "Let that be your last Battlefield" with the half white/half black enemies.

I've been wearing these for a year.

I know it's not a crazy contrast but contrast nonetheless. I've never changed the laces.
Personally, I like the contrasting look. ...Note: I have zero afiliation to any color denoting group what so ever. Not even in a SEC crazed state as Alabama.

Re: Statement Laces: Add a splash of color to your wingtips
Can we at least agree to call them Contrast Laces? "Statement Laces" gives me the douche chills.

I think statement applies well. Follow the link to the laces in the OP's first post. The statement they make there is "I really should buy better shoes, or not draw attention to these shitty ones."
EDIT: Also don't understand the AE shoes. They have some patent leather ones with contrast stitching, and some orange ones, not to mention the webgem ones they just put out for christmas...

Straight out of the box, these were nice. After a year as daily work wear - still nice.

I was in Paris last month and the colored laces in wing tips was a huge trend for men there it seemed. Most matched their shirt and laces

And how long did the doctor say you had to wear them?
Re: Statement Laces: Add a splash of color to your wingtips
I like 'em. Austerity brogues are pretty rare. Bulbous-toed semi-austerity brogues (we don't wish to be too austere, so we added these little squiggles), even more so.
