The Shoe Lace Reinvented: DeFY. New York Reviews Hickies Elastic Lacing System 2012

When you hear the name Hickie a makeout session with your other half or the town skeezer (if you get down like that) may come to mind. No, these Hickies are for your kicks (not on some freaky ish either). By taking your laces out and swapping them with Hickies you turn your sneakers into loafers. You can mix and match colors and they provide for a secure fit. As a grown ass man you may wrestle with the idea that this is one step away from velcro or feel the colored Hickies just aren’t something an adult should wear. To each their own, what we can say about the product is this. In the solid black and solid white colorway’s they provide for a secure fit and clean look. They do exactly what they say they will and you really don’t have to worry about them looking beat the hell up over time and getting dingy looking (maybe the white Hickies but I can’t see it happening on the black). As far as the colorful Hickies they may be better suited for young adults, teenagers, and kids but in the end to each their own. The cost is 19.99 USD a pack and 30 for two.
