today i'm going to be showing you guys three different ways on how to lace the air jordan
2. throughout the video i'll be showing you in hand examples and on foot looks for each
and every style and if you didn't know by now my name is dj and this is the dna show
if you're new to this channel i love going over sneakers giving you guys in-depth reviews breaking
down the styles cuts and materials of all the sneakers but another thing i love to do is give
you tutorials like this as well so if you haven't already consider subscribing and joining the fam
we're on the road to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get us there now
let's take it to style number one so throughout the video i'm gonna be using just the right
foot for examples and then when we do the on foot you'll be able to see what it looks like with both
of them laced up in that style so for this first style we're gonna call this the dead stock style
this is what the shoe looks like typically when it comes fresh out the box and you just purchased
the sneaker so basically it's going to look just like this and then you're going to have a dead
stock knot right here some people like to pull it out and just let it sit right here or people will
tuck it in behind the tongue and rock it like this so make sure i show you both styles here right now
so
after seeing those two different looks of the dead stock style let me know what you guys think
down below in the comment section me personally i don't really like to wear my shoes that way but i
see a lot of people do it so i had to make sure i showed you in today's video now taking it to
the next style this is definitely my style right here what we're gonna do is take the laces out
right here and undo the dead stock knot and then loosen it up the shoe so we're gonna undo the
first loop as well from the top end of the shoe and go all the way down and then we're going to
let the laces hang right here and then the next thing we're going to do is loosen this up just a
little bit down all the way to the bottom end of the shoe now we're going to stick three fingers
just like this on both sides and kind of tug on it just a little bit evenly kind of giving you that
little proportion throughout each side of the foot and then now as you can see it's starting
to slowly loosen up and then you can kind of snag it just like this i always do the little
three finger method like this that way i'm evenly dispersing the laces throughout the foot when i'm
trying to loosen it up because i know some people kind of do it one side and the other and then
they're like why is my laces all over the place so that'll kind of give you that even look that
you're looking for when you put it on foot now the next thing you're going to do is take these
push them through that second hole and kind of just let it hang maybe about a couple inches
down right there on both sides you're gonna have some extra slack right here and then you're gonna
kind of just pull the laces just a little bit creating a little bit more slack and then we're
gonna stick these on foot and this is called the loose vibe i don't know if that's what it's really
called but we're gonna call it the loose vibe all right let's see what the on foot looks like
so how do you like that style right there drop a comment down below and let me know me personally
i love honestly wearing most of my shoes in the loose style so that's a typical go-to on damn near
every single model of sneaker that i wear but when it comes to the jordan 2 and it being a high top
and the lace is being a little bit longer i don't want to have too much slack yet not too loose but
i think it does its job the shoe stays on foot i know a lot of people worry about that issue
and one thing that i love about the jordan 2 which is i know we're not doing an in-depth review or
anything but the tongue has an elastic band right here it's a black band on the side of the tongue
on both sides of the foot so naturally that's going to keep your foot locked in and you're
not having to worry about the shoe coming off like other models where the tongue can flap all the way
forward this is virtually kind of impossible to only kind of fold forward just midway through the
tongue and then from there that's about far as you can get so that's one thing that i do love about
the jordan 2 i know not too many people know about this model or have worn this model and especially
with all the hype coming around the jordan 2 but again that's off topic let's just take it to the
next style and that's going to be the bow tie so as you can see right here from the top down shot
the shoes are basically kind of in that dead stock style but they're loosened up right here and what
we're going to do is tie a bow tie knot and then kind of just loosen the shoe just a little bit so
the foot can actually slide in there i know it's a little bit tight when it's like this but then
from there let's create a little bit of slack that we can get our foot inside and this is gonna be an
option a lot of people like to go from the second hole you can do it from the top hole but i think
it's just like you're literally about to go hoop in the shoe so i feel like the second hole is a
little bit more relaxed a little bit more subtle and i think that's something you should rock
with but again it's all preference based and i'll show you guys the other style in a second as well
so now that you've seen what that looks like on foot let's show you guys the other bow tie
style real quick so we're going to do is undo this knot and then we're going to take this
whole section out and i've seen actually a lot of people do this so realistically
we need to take out the second section as well and then as you can see there's kind of a segment
right here where's the three holes and then you got your main laces that go on the top of the foot
so we're going to loosen this up give you some more slack it's going to be a pretty loose fit
honestly it's just going to have that bow tie kind of closing it all in bringing it all together
and then from there you guys will kind of see what i'm talking about so with
this you got two different options you can go underneath like this just inside of this
and then create a bow like i said earlier you can go from the top middle or bottom and you'll create
a bow like this bang and then we'll loosen that up so i'll show you what that looks like and then the
other way is going to be unlacing this yet again and we're going to go over top this time and when
we go over top it's going to make the bow kind of sit a little bit more finished on the inside
of this look so you guys will see what i'm talking about in a split second right here so we're going
over the top and then we're going to create this bow right here on the inside it's going to
give you a similar look but it's just a little bit different and then we're going to loosen it up and
kind of create some slack again i'll show you guys what these two looks like on foot real quick i'm
gonna try to get this loosened up so you guys can see what i'm talking about in here as you can see
this is what it's kind of gonna look like so let's check out these next two looks on foot as well
