Retsy Series 1 · Card 0328 · 90-CND
Double knot. Then double bite.
Thin licorice laces long enough to thread through your sneaker eyelets, in cherry, blue raspberry and sour lime.
The story · 1994
Lace-Up Licorice came coiled in a shoebox-shaped package with a cardboard sneaker cutout for practice. Kids laced it, tied bows, double-knotted it and chewed it off in class. The bravest actually laced their real sneakers for a day, which made the soccer field sticky and attracted every ant in the county.
The blue raspberry laces left faint blue stripes on white sneakers that never, ever came out.
Six finishes
Lace-Up Licorice comes in six finishes: 100 Base, 50 Holo, 25 Laser and 10 Gold copies, plus one Super Laser and one Misprint that exist exactly once. Every copy is minted to the wallet that rips it, with its own serial number.
