Hi Ritchie, thank you so much for your feedback and the photo! We're glad to hear that you love your Zion in All Black Mono. Regarding the shoelaces, we appreciate your input about them being a bit longer than usual. Our local partners in Marikina currently stock that length, but we’re actively looking into shorter options for future pairs. We value your feedback and hope the extra length doesn’t take away from the overall experience. Hopefully, we'll be able to have the shorter laces again soon. Enjoy rocking your new pair!
