so i just picked up a fresh pair of high top chuck taylors and i'm excited to
show you guys 10 different ways on how to lace these up
welcome back to the channel if you did not know by now my name is dj and this
is the dna show if you haven't already go ahead and hit that subscribe button
smash the like button because that helps the algorithm oh so much but with all
that being said let's go ahead and get into style number one so when you go to
the store and you get a fresh pair of chuck taylors in the box
this is typically how they're gonna come laced in this style and i wanted to show
you guys the factory lace first because some people typically go with
the factory lace style you got three holes here at the top
and people are actually literally gonna stick their foot right in here cover up
the laces and keep it pushing or sometimes they'll just put a bow knot
right here at the front and call it a day
so if we're looking at the factory lace style right here as you can see it's
over the top underneath and then back underneath all
the way throughout the shoe what i noticed a lot with the converse
especially a lot of people like to lace them inside out
these are outside in or the normal factory lace style so i will show you
guys the difference between the two but with this style right here and
typically what people are going to do is take this part right here
unlace it and then they're going to just continue that line up
because a lot of people don't really want to go through the work of lacing
the shoe more and you know undoing the whole thing and
doing all that jazz so typically once people get to the second or the top loop
after the factory lace style what they're gonna do is just put a bow
tie on it real quick and call it a day and they're literally just gonna bow tie
like this so let's see what this looks like on foot
so that's a look at the classic factory lace style with the bow tie at the top
now let's take it to style number two now for this one a lot of people like to
continue this lace style right here and then what they'll do is make a little
knot here at the end they'll basically just
cinch it right here on both sides so we're gonna just loosen it up here
throughout the rest of the foot i like to wear my shoes really really loose
so this is probably another style that i would really go with and as you can see
it's got that loose vibe right here so let's check this one out on foot and see
what you think
i really love the loose fit style and that comes to any type of sneaker i
always try to find a way to never really have to tie my shoes
where i can easily just slip them on and go
and this is definitely a style that's a go-to for me so i know a lot of people
really like this outside in style and that's definitely the
opposite of what it typically comes with the factory style so i definitely have
to show you what i mean by that so we're gonna make sure that the laces
are even instead of going inside of it we're gonna start from the
outside and we're gonna work our way in and then we're gonna repeat that process
all the way throughout the sneaker you can kind of see the vibes of where
it's going right here and now what we're going to do when we get to the very top
is instead of going that direction we're going to actually go
inside out for the top loop then we're going to put a bow tie right here at the
top of the sneaker so that way people can get that old school that classic
chuck taylor vibe i never really like to go with this
style but i know a lot of people really like this style so let's check it out on
foot and we'll see what you think
is that a style that you would rock drop a comment down below and let me know so
what we're gonna do on this one is we're gonna unlace the top two laces right
here and now what we're gonna do is go around the foot around the ankle
right here then we're going to come back in
through this loop right here and then we're going to wrap a bow tie here at
the front let's see what it looks like on foot
definitely an interesting look for this sneaker to be able to bring a little bit
more character to the shoe with the lacing style wrapping it around the
ankle me personally i wouldn't do it but i
think it is kind of dope and i definitely see a lot of people doing it
so next up is a fan favorite we have to make sure the shoe is entirely unlaced
besides that front row and that is going to be the bar style so
i'm going to try to show this to you guys real quick
and let you understand how it goes so what we're going to do is we're going to
skip a hole every other time so we're going to start
with the very first hole and then go through to the other side
to create that first bar right there now this left lace
that was originally from the beginning right we're gonna run that underneath
and we're gonna skip a hole and go to that second hole up
right here and then now we're going to go through to the other side
and then we're going to continue to repeat that process skip a hole every
time and then go to the other side so we're going to skip a hole
go through to the other side
skip a hole go through to the other side
you're going to just knot this up and then stick it behind the tongue
so it looks super seamless right here then we'll pull the tongue out
now you can see you have your classic old school vibes with the bars
so let's check these out on foot and see what you guys think
so i definitely know a lot of people that really like the bar style so if
that was helpful for you if you didn't kind of get it
please go back and rewind just for a quick sec to make sure that you watch it
again so that way you understand how to put the bars into your shoes
because we gotta have the bars when i'm talking about bars i mean bars
so for this next one we're gonna keep that outside in look going right here
but now what we want to do is complete it one more level up to that second ring
from the top right here and then from there we're going to tie
the knot behind the tongue and it's going to kind of have that seamless vibe
so when you look at the shoe like this you can't see any bow tie hanging out of
the shoe right there pretty seamless pretty clean so we'll
check it out on foot and see what you guys think
i definitely think this is a clean way to go especially if you don't want your
laces hanging out or coming undone getting dirty or whatever it may be so i
definitely think this is a cool little style now if you want to do it this way
and not leave the knot behind the tongue all you have to do is literally just put
a regular bow tie right here have one hole at the top still open
and then you can rock it with the laces and the bow tie sticking out still so
let's check this one out on foot
so these final three styles are kind of wacky bear with me but i definitely see
people wearing them with these styles so i had to show you guys like i always
do i always kind of hold these ones for the end
but this one is called the tongue out so we're basically what we're going to do
is lace these up regular and then we're going to leave that
tongue hanging out and it i don't know for some reason it just doesn't look
right to me but we'll see how it looks so i'ma lace
these up and then we'll check out the on foot
so what we're going to do is knot these up and then we're going to stick this up
behind the tongue right here and uh just let this tongue really hang
loosely out like this i just
it kind of looks like this when you wear it uh i just
i don't know but we'll check it out on foot and see what you guys think
so this next one is pretty interesting it's called the double back so what
we're gonna do is take the laces completely out of the shoe
we're gonna start from the top of the foot actually now i wear a size 13. i
think i have one extra hole if you have a smaller foot
then you're gonna have to redo this and count it basically you're gonna need one
hole at the bottom and then two up from there
so for me that's the third hole we're gonna create a bar just like we would at
the front of the foot but now it's just gonna be at the top of the foot and then
now we're gonna work our way in from the outside like we did before
and we're gonna cross and we're gonna work our way down the foot instead of up
the foot now we're going to go down the foot
it's all going to make sense in a second
now we're here we're going to do it again skip two holes
bang bang
as you can see i'm on the third hole i skipped the hole i'm down skip the hole
i'm down okay now that we're at the bottom right
here there's one hole that's open so we're gonna stay on our side that
we're on and we're gonna go up underneath and through just kind of
like we did with the bar style we're gonna do that same thing here
we're gonna go here so now the laces are coming out of the front two holes right
here as you can see so with these ones what you're gonna
want to do is cross underneath this time instead of over so you're gonna go
underneath that first pattern that we went
and we're gonna go underneath here right here
and then we're gonna do it again just like we did on that first one we're
gonna do it again on that second hole same concept right here
so you can kind of see where i'm going with it right now it's starting to fill
out more the lines are starting to straighten out right here for you
we'll see a definitely a better look on foot and then finally we're going to go
underneath that bar that was right here we're going to go underneath it to the
next hole up right here underneath that bar
up right here to that next hole and this is where you're gonna tie the shoe at
right here bang bang and then you're gonna have
your knot and then now you're gonna have this cool style here at the front of the
foot and it's really open right here so let's check this one
out on foot it's definitely going to be a better look for you guys to kind of
see what i'm talking about
so drop a comment down below and let me know what you think about this style
right here me personally i think it's very interesting it'll probably catch
people off guard because they'll be like where's that front line at how did you
do that i think this right here is kind of like that conversation type lacing
style so if you're into something like that i think that's a cool option me
personally i just don't have the time to do all
that yes i'm making a video about it but i know damn well if i got these shoes
fresh out the box i wouldn't lace them this way okay last
up is the style that everyone hates the most and that's the extremely loose lace
style usually we're gonna go up about four
holes right here so i'm gonna lace these up show you guys what they look like
again i never wear them this way but i see a lot of people do end up wearing
them this way for some reason i think it's maybe like kind of like a
demographic type thing but we can talk about that later so
we're gonna go up four holes right here and then we're gonna make a knot
right here just a small one with a bow tied up and then we're gonna make this
extremely loose and this is like the ultimate slip-on
like this is how people be wearing it right
here literally like this so i'm gonna show you what these look
like on foot and then i'll see you guys at the end of the video
so what was your favorite style out of the 10 what's most realistic for you are
