    Ladder lacing is where the laces are horizontal lines. It’s sometimes done with chucks and skate shoes innocuously.

    Also, don’t wear red or white laces with boots, also neonazi coded. Blue means cop killer. Yellow laces on punk style boots means anti racist (will fight about it), but that’s unlikely to cause issues outside a punk show. Purple means gay. Outside a punk show barely anyone will know any of this or assume anything, but that’s because this is all subcultural signaling in the same way as something like hanky code is.
