The Derby Style Laces are made for fun and performance under pressure. So that means they look good and they’re long-lasting too. Treated with the perfect amount of performance wax, they feel awesome to the touch. Also, they stay tied, tight, and locked in place while skating. Derby laces are braided from a blend of high quality, high-tenacity fibres. So they are exceptionally soft with high tensile strength and resistance to abrasion and moisture. Derby Laces feature a tri-fold tip molded out of the lace material itself. There are no plastic or metal bits to peel off or break. The lace tip is easy to lace and extremely durable.
