The Air Force 1 have always been an icon in streetwear, but customization with rope laces (thick and structured laces) took the model to another level. The trend, which started in the United States and quickly spread through social networks, conquering Europe and consequently, Portugal.

Today, those who pay attention to streetwear culture know that rope laces give a more premium and aggressive look to the classic Air Force 1, transforming it from a simple pair of sneakers into a style statement, a true statement.

It is not just a detail: it is upgrades like this that differentiate a common outfit from a distinctive outfit, adopted even by music and sports stars like Central Cee, Lamine Yamal & many others.

This is a legitimate doubt that many consumers have. After all, when changing the original shoelaces for rope laces, one might think that we are tampering with the authenticity of the pair of sneakers. The answer is simple: no.

The rope laces are not fakes or counterfeits, but rather aftermarket accessories, that is, additional parts created to customize your pair. It's the same as putting protective covers on a cellphone — you still have the original product, but with an aesthetic or functional upgrade.

In fact, many collectors and sneaker enthusiasts value this type of detail, and the premium sneaker accessories market is growing — precisely because of this.

Despite the hype, finding quality rope laces in Portugal can be a challenge. The truth is that not all online options guarantee the same durability, finish or ideal thickness as those of some Air Force 1s.

Moreover, there are many options outside Portugal that can result in delayed shipments, customs fees, or even damaged orders... all problems to avoid if you make a conscious and informed decision. With this in mind...
