The listed runtime of “Nice Shoes / In Your World” is 9:03.
It is the ninth track on Steve Lacy’s 2026 studio album Oh Yeah? The unusually long duration reflects the song’s two-part design: it begins as a breakbeat-driven section with synthesizers, then shifts into a slower funk passage before ending with a spoken-word outro.
The title can cause confusion because “Nice Shoes” was also released separately as a promotional single. That standalone version is much shorter, while “Nice Shoes / In Your World” is the expanded album track. The album’s track listing treats the combined title as one song and gives it the 9:03 runtime.
The track closes the album’s main emotional arc before “Bebe,” the brief psychedelic-rock postscript. Its extended structure makes it one of the clearest examples of Lacy moving between contrasting textures rather than keeping to a conventional pop-song length.
