The Starter x Ty Mopkins LFS-1 features a special “Santa sack” filled with a variety of shoelaces to give your LFS-1 custom looks all holiday long. A heritage low-cut silhouette gives a clean, streamlined look featuring genuine patent leather, a bold rubber outsole, lace-up closures, and secondary red and white laces for the ultimate holiday look. The shoes will be available exclusively at Starter.com and will retail for $100.

 

“We wanted to bring some excitement to retail with this Christmas release and give our supporters something different in the market like we have done so many times before with special releases. We will continue to raise the bar and celebrate sports license apparel by simply looking for the star” — Ty Mopkins.
