Great laces; base color matched the Angelus paint color of the same name (sapphire). I think the reflective element is super unique, although it does make the laces quite stiff and rough, but it hasn’t been an issue for me. I’ve noticed that the laces appear more grey in low light and more white in direct light (ex sunlight). Overall, would definitely purchase again if I wanted to switch out the laces on another pair of shoes.
