Low, Mid and High share a name but not a lacing route: the Mid and High climb the ankle, so treat them as separate layouts. These are stock lengths from lace retailers’ charts, not manufacturer specifications.
How many eyelet pairs
None of the charts we cite states an eyelet count for Air Jordan 1, so we don’t publish one. Count the holes on one side of your own shoe, and count only the pairs you will lace.
Shoe size
Eyelet count matters most, but shoe size matters too: bigger sizes spread the same eyelets further apart, and some models add a pair in larger sizes. Sources: Pear Shoelace length guide (eyelet-spacing chart) and Slickies Laces (Old Skool: 7 or 8 pairs).
Three ways to measure Air Jordan 1 laces
1. Measure the original lace
Remove one lace, lay it flat and measure end to end including the tips. Keep that length if its bow fits; if it falls between our sizes, take the next Spiffy length up.
2. Count the pairs you use
Count one side of one shoe. For a shoe we don’t list, our size chart decides by shape: adult low-tops (up to 3 pairs: 30 inch, 4–6 pairs: 45 inch, 7 pairs: 55 inch, 8 pairs: 55 or 65 inch (55 if your current lace is 54 inch or shorter), 9–10 pairs: 65 inch); adult high-tops (up to 3 pairs: 30 inch, 4–6 pairs: 45 inch, 7 pairs: 55 inch, 8 pairs: 55 or 65 inch (55 if your current lace is 54 inch or shorter), 9–10 pairs: 65 inch); adult dress shoes (up to 3 pairs: 30 inch, 4 pairs: 30 or 45 inch, 5–6 pairs: 45 inch, 7–9 pairs: 55 inch, 10 pairs: 65 inch); boots (up to 3 pairs: 30 inch, 4–6 pairs: 45 inch, 7 pairs: 55 inch, 8–10 pairs: 65 inch). Eyelet spacing and your bow can change the result.
3. Thread string through your route
Lace a piece of string exactly as you wear the shoe, include enough at each end for the bow, then remove and measure it. This catches skipped pairs, heel-lock loops and unusual spacing that a model-name chart misses.
Check the other length
Compare 55 inch and 65 inch. Double knots, large bows, straight-bar or ladder lacing can require more; skipped pairs or tucked ends can require less. Do not buy 65 inch if your measured route needs more than our longest size.
