Lace Code was once an informal way to express yourself in the punk scene, but is it still used today?

I'm vaguely aware of Lace Code but I've honestly never seen it used or even really mentioned outside of the internet. Part of me is curious if it was ever a really a thing outside of maybe a few scenes scattered about. Feels like something that, because the concept is kinda intriguing, the internet may have overblown. But I wasn't around in the 80s, so I'm not sure. Curious to hear from anyone who was actually part of the scene back then.

Interesting article. I never wore Docs or have seen any “ code laces “ personally. Anyone else?

I wouldn't say it's still extremely common, but some people do use it. One of my friends used to wear both purple AND yellow laces, I remember the questions were endless and it went over everyone's head. I think colored laces in general get mistaken as a intrinsically nazi thing pretty often unfortunately.
