Also, has anyone swapped laces on masterpieces? I've heard the ones they come with are bad quality.
No but I'd like to.....I wish they were the thicker/stretchier ones like the Details, Xmas, and I'm sure some others are.  The fundamentals have the generic/cheap laces as well.

I'm planning to order a bunch of laces from either laced up or rope lace supply. Haven't swapped laces in awhile but I usually like to swap the laces on most of my shoes. Makes most of them look better and more unique.
 
Oh and entered raffle for him and when I got home an employee had texting me saying he'd hit me with a discount on them :smokin :D
 
I hate thinking about spending 600 on a pair of shoes but then again Im just gonna spend it on other shoes so its either get 2 or 3 pairs I kinda like or 1 pair that I really like (MPs)
 
Speaking of lace swaps wanting to do a clean white lace swap on WTK. Love the laces they came with but I think all white would be nice.

This is one of the best things I have ever seen on niketalk. Makes me feel better.

What are the stretchy ones actually called?  Waxed?

The ones in the Masterpiece are just generic but I can't find anything in 72" that appears to have that thickness and stretch to it
 
congrats on your pair... I'm still on the ledge about buying a pair. There are alot of other things i can spend 600 on :lol: (non shoe purchases)

I purchased a VNDS pair for $375 by I wear my shoes and I figured why pay an extra $200 just to have them DS for a day. Most I've spent of a shoes is $400 for worn once Galaxy KD 4's. I think $400 is my limit but I'll probably break that before I know it. Kobe XII Elite retail will probs be Ike $400 better start getting used to it. Actually enjoyed the price hike on WTK. Easiest cop ever just because of $50.
 
I prefer buying very lightly worn shoes for the price drop. I do not care about shoes that have "never been tried on" because like you I wear my shoes. I would definitely jump on that deal for a lightly worn pair. Where did you find them? Im only seeing unworn pairs in my size (9.5)

I had been searching for a few months and opt here have always been around 3 used pairs in my size 10 on eBay but one day like every pair had been purchased and DS pairs were disappearing so I jumped on the next pair I saw. Just consistently check eBay. Pairs move FAST. Buy and regret later.

Waxed are definitely not it. Or at least I do not think so. A lot of places have been selling "premium nylon laces" ??? Maybe that is it. If I find anything good I'll post a link here.

Navster has a pair in my size in the classifieds here but I'm just not ready for that 600 :lol: I'm gonna keep my eyes open for a used pair. There's an unworn size 11 for 500 on eBay :smh: I can find deals in every size but mine.
