I used to match my shoelaces to the color of my hair when I was younger (I still do, but with more discretion). I joined a new band when I had blue hair and was first introduced to a scene that went beyond my neighborhood’s suburbs. At an early practise for our band, our guitarist casually said, “You must truly dislike cops” looking me from shoes to face. I’ve never sided with the police in a quarrel, you could say, but I wasn’t sure if it meant I “really despised” something or where he was getting this information.
He then said that he could tell from the laces on my shoes, which confused me even more. It turns out that what he was saying had some truth to it, contrary to what I had initially assumed or believed was some weak attempt at a joke. validity: wearing Dr. Marten boots with coloured shoelaces has many connotations in the punk movement (and more specifically, the skinhead community). Still not. And we should do every effort to put an end to such hatred.
This piece is as accurate as it can be without actually sitting down with a “true believer,” or as far off-the-wall as this all may seem. Unfortunately, racism still exists in America today.

Color: Yellow: Racial
Fortunately, despite the fact that doctors frequently wear yellow laces, no one knows what they represent. One of the few lace colours the anti-nazi punk movement claimed was this one.
color purple for LGBT pride
An interesting one. While typically representing Gay pride, purple laces are also anti-skinhead. I think it’s significant to mention even if it has nothing to do with the others.
Nothing to Do with Black
I really hope that someone uses this code. I don’t advise it, even though I’m aware that some people would start making fun of people based on the colour of their shoelaces. Not everyone who wears these laces is aware of the restrictions, and even if they are, keep in mind that employing force against them would only strengthen their case. This is not intended to be a call for further violence, more of a caution. Because hatred only produces more hatred.
