1. Classic Straight Lacing
The classic straight lacing technique is a timeless choice that never goes out of style. Here’s how to achieve this look:
- Starting from the bottom, feed the lace straight across the bottom eyelets, making sure both ends are of equal length.
- Take the left lace and feed it through the second eyelet on the right side.
- Do the same with the right lace, crossing it over to the second eyelet on the left side.
- Continue lacing up in this crisscross pattern until you reach the top of the shoe.
- Tie a knot or a bow with the remaining lace.
2. Two-Color Lacing
If you want to add some flair to your high top Converse, try lacing them with two different colored laces. Follow these steps:
- Find two contrasting colored laces that complement your Converse sneakers.
- Begin the lacing process with one color, using either the classic straight lacing technique or any other style you prefer.
- Once you reach the halfway point, introduce the second color lace and continue the lacing process, alternating between the two colors.
- Finish by tying a knot or a bow using both colored laces.
3. Crisscross Lacing
Crisscross lacing adds a unique and intricate look to your high top Converse. Follow these steps to achieve this style:
- Begin with the classic straight lacing technique as described earlier.
- Instead of crossing the laces diagonally, feed each lace through the next eyelet on the same side. This will create a crisscross pattern on each side.
- Continue lacing up, ensuring the crisscross pattern is maintained on each side of the shoe.
- Tie a knot or a bow at the top with both laces.
4. Zipper Lacing
If you’re looking for a more unconventional and stylish way to lace your Converse sneakers, try the zipper lacing technique:
- Start by crossing the laces over at the bottom and feeding them through the opposite eyelets.
- Cross the laces over again, this time feeding them through the second set of eyelets above.
- Continue this crisscross pattern, feeding the laces through the eyelets on the opposite sides until you reach the top.
- Tie a knot or a bow at the top.
Whichever lacing style you choose, don’t be afraid to get creative and experiment with different colors and patterns. Lacing your high top Converse in a fashionable way can elevate your outfit and make a bold fashion statement!
Remember to have fun and embrace your personal style while lacing up your Converse sneakers!
