If you’re chasing that bold, retro-inspired look, Adidas fat laces are the upgrade your sneakers deserve. At Lace Lab, we carry flat lace options that pair perfectly with classic Adidas models.
Why Choose Lace Lab Fat Laces for Adidas
Adidas shoes are known for versatility, and Lace Lab fat laces let you push that even further. Here’s why sneakerheads, athletes, and everyday wearers trust our laces as their go-to swap:
The Look That Turns Heads
Fat laces give you the style that defined hip-hop, skate, and basketball shoes in the ’80s and ’90s. Throw them on your Adidas Superstars or Campuses, and you instantly get that retro-heavy vibe.
Built to Last
Lace Lab flats use durable polyester (with waxed options that add protection against moisture and abrasion) for everyday wear, and rope styles use premium-grade nylon with an elastic core for strength.
No Loud Branding
We keep the focus where it belongs: on your sneakers. Our clean, minimal designs won’t distract from your kicks, while still delivering superior shoelaces.
Endless Color Options
From black and white staples to bold reflective finishes, we’re constantly expanding our color and size options. This means more ways for customers to customize their shoes with styles that match their vibe.
Perfect Fit
With multiple lengths to match every Adidas silhouette, you won’t have to guess whether they’ll work. Superstars, NMDs, Ultra Boosts, and Yeezys all have a tailored option.
Lace Lab is committed to providing customers with the best fit and style, no matter which pair you lace up.

How to Install & Style Your Adidas Fat Laces
Swapping out your laces is easy, but styling them right takes it to the next level. Here’s how to make the most of your Lace Lab fat laces:
-
Remove old laces completely: Start fresh so you can thread evenly without leftover slack. This also prevents frayed ends or dirt from old laces from interfering with the clean, bold look of your new pair.
-
Thread wide for full coverage: Fat laces look best when you run them flat across the tongue instead of twisted. Taking the time to smooth each pass makes your sneakers stand out with that oversized, statement style.
-
Choose your style:
-
Bar lacing: Perfect for Superstars and Campus sneakers for that clean retro look.
-
Loose lacing: Works well on skate-inspired pairs when you want extra volume across the tongue.
-
Criss-cross with wide spacing: Adds bold lines that really highlight the fat lace profile.
-
Hidden knot: Tuck your ends under the tongue for a sleek, uninterrupted finish.
-
Match your vibe: Reflective laces are great for night runs or streetwear flair. If you’re after something chunkier, rope laces add texture and depth to silhouettes like Yeezys or NMDs, pushing the bold factor even further.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do Adidas Campuses come with thick laces?
Many Adidas Campus models, especially the Campus ’00, feature thicker, plush laces paired with padded collars. This gives them a secure fit and that classic skate-inspired look straight out of the box.
When were fat shoe laces popular?
Fat shoelaces first exploded in the 1980s on basketball and skate shoes. They quickly became tied to hip-hop culture and sneaker customization. Today, they’re making a strong comeback thanks to the retro revival in streetwear.
How to make laces fatter?
You can create a fat-laced look by looping standard laces through extra eyelets or doubling them up, but the easiest way is to swap them out for Lace Lab’s fat laces.
