I only have Courtballistec 3.3 French Open version and the shoelaces are perfect for a double knot.

How long are those? I want to order some today and left my shoes at home. I'd imagine they have to be pretty close.

I think this would answer your question.

Too short on both the 3.3 and 4.3. Perfect length on the 2K11s and 2.3s. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Maybe you're right, but you can get the idea that they're not extra long.
The thing is they're no longer than needed for a double knot, you don't get discomfort from them touching or getting untied.
I don't have Adidas Barricade to make an exact comparison, but I think it's not so important how long they are but the quality of the laces, bad quality laces would get untied and even break, no such problem here.
For Adidas, I have this Bercuda model:



I only bought them for cause they were cheap on sale, I'm satisfied as I use them for clay where they get all super dirty, the laces are a bit longer so you know.

My vapor 8s are too long, have to triple knot in size 10.5, while my 2k11s (size 11) are too short. I barely get one knot done.

To best estimate replacement shoelaces, we have provided a size chart below. Nike does not maintain a selection of shoe laces for replacements, but we can help you determine what size shoe lace to purchase.

To replace shoelaces for your Nike shoes, you will need to determine what type of shoelace you want (flat, round, oval, tubular, bubble, metal tipped or wide). The most important decision is the lace length. The best option to determine the length needed is to measure the lace you are replacing; adjust your size to add or subtract if the lace is too long or too short.

Shoelace lengths are determined by the number of eyelets, a lacing style and shoe width should be taken into consideration.

Most shoe stores, shoe repair shops, athletic stores and some department stores in your area will stock generic shoe laces or you can order shoelaces from an online retailer.

To estimate the best fit for shoelace replacement size, check the chart below:

I usually end up replacing most laces with either a 130cm or 140cm. Depends on the fit of the shoe and whether you tie them very tight or with a bit of space for blood circulation.

I find most stock laces are always too short.
