LOL!
how can you "try too hard" with a simple lace swap? WTH?
they either match and work, or they don't... and even then, it's just really up to you and your own tastes...
i was actually expecting the color to be slightly off, but they are dead on.
it also helped me find a happy medium cuz i was having a hard time deciding between flat rose or flat white laces in them b4 i tried the ropes, but the ropes have a bit of both colors and lighten the shoe up very nicely in person, and give them a new, unique look.
people will say ANYTHING to try to cut people down on here huh? trying too hard? LOL! if you don't like the look, that's fine, then just say that... but to say "trying too hard" makes it sounds like you're hating cuz you either don't have the shoe, or cuz ya didn't think of the lace swap first...
