The Future Is Laceless & These Pairs Prove It
Whether it's a dystopian new YEEZY or Nike's self-lacing Mag from Back 2 The Future, laceless sneakers often signal something futuristic and groundbreaking. It's got us wondering whether the future is laceless.
Then again, laceless sneakers are nothing new. Models such as the Vans Slip-On have woven themselves into the very fabric of sneaker culture — so much so that the model isn’t given a second look, it’s just another sneaker that anyone can wear. And just like the Slip-On, there are countless models that are either completely laceless or constructed in a way that the laces are superfluous.
Laceless sneakers are easy to slip on and off, making them the perfect options for sneakerheads that are constantly on the go and in and out of the house. Whether you're looking for something classic or preparing for a hands-free future, we've rounded up some of the best laceless sneakers available to buy right now.
