About Slacklace®<\/span><\/h1><\/div><\/div>

\"ElasticSlacklace\u00ae was designed around the problem of not having the time to tie shoes. Here's how it all started.<\/p>\n

Picture the scene: A back stage loaded with teenagers frantically trying to put on their converse high tops for the next scene in the high school play \"Grease.\" It was delayed, unorganized, and sloppy!<\/p>\n

This scene sparked the thought of the idea to create a shoelace that looked and worked like an ordinary shoelace, but that would allow you to slip on your shoes without tying them. A prototype was formed and Slacklace\u00ae was born!<\/p><\/div>

Slacklace® Today<\/span><\/h2>

In 2013, Slacklace\u00ae was acquired by Sporting Innovations Group, LLC (SIG). SIG manufactures the Yankz! Surelace System, PaceTat brand pacing tattoos, and other innovative products for the multi-sport and endurance racing communities.<\/p>\n
