Textured laces not only give your New Balance sneakers more grip but also add character. Thanks to their rugged surface, they perfectly complement models where standard laces fall short – think retro runners, technical designs, and vintage models like the 574 or 990 series. This type of lace features a subtle, visible weave that enhances both functionality and style.
The fiber structure provides better friction in the eyelets, preventing your knot from coming undone while walking. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek match or a bold contrast, 120 and 140 cm usually hit the mark. These laces are made for enthusiasts who take their kicks seriously. For those who want their New Balance sneakers to be on point down to the smallest detail – even at the top. No distractions, no fuss, just laces that do their job and look good doing it.

Why Textured Laces Are Essential for Your New Balance Sneakers
New Balance sneakers are renowned for their technical craftsmanship and timeless silhouettes. However, standard laces aren't always the best fit for every model. Especially with retro runners, trail models, and classic running silhouettes, you often see a bold, visible finish on top of the tongue. This calls for laces with a sturdy surface and ample grip. Textured laces – also known as woven or ribbed laces – are the perfect match.
These laces have a tactile surface that provides more friction in the eyelets. This means your knot stays secure, reducing the need to stop and retie on the go. Not only is this practical, but it also looks cleaner. Models like the 2002R, 550, 574, 990v5, and 9060 particularly benefit from this type of lace. These models demand a slightly sturdier finish on top without looking bulky.
In terms of length, 120 cm and 140 cm are usually the right choices. They give you just enough flexibility for different lacing styles, whether you're going for a loopback, bar lace, or clean tuck. And since textured laces come in various colors, you can match them with your favorite colorway or create a striking contrast. Think of a cream lace in a gray 2002R, or dark green in a 574 with tan accents.
These laces are also functional in terms of maintenance. The surface is a bit more robust, so dirt doesn't cling as easily. Still, it's smart to occasionally brush them clean with a dry or slightly damp brush. This keeps them fresh without wearing down the fiber structure. More importantly, your kicks will look sharp, even with frequent wear.
Curious about other laces with a similar finish or want to experiment with different models? Check out our textured laces for a broader overview within the same style. You'll also find options for other brands or wider variants if that's what you're after.
