The double lace system is the upgrade that ASICS wearers are now massively switching to. Not just for the looks, but also because of the wearing comfort and the ability to truly customize your sneaker. Especially with models like the ASICS GEL-NYC, GEL-1130, and GEL-Kayano 14, you see the trend appearing more and more: two sets of laces threaded through one structure for a visual and functional upgrade.
Double lacing is simply put: two pairs of laces through the same eyelets, where you play with colors, layers, and tension. The result is a unique, layered look that definitely gives your sneakers an upgrade! It’s stylish without being flashy, exactly why it fits so well with ASICS.
Why double laces are more than just a styling trick
What makes this technique really interesting is that you get more control over the fit of your sneakers. You can lace one set tighter over the instep for stability, while the other sits looser around the ankle for freedom of movement. Ideal if you walk a lot or just want your shoes to feel a little more comfortable.
In addition, double laces are perfect for visual layering. With the ASICS GEL-NYC Cream, for example, you can work with two tonal laces in beige and off-white. Or with the Moss Forest you use a mix of dark green with light gray for more contrast. And with the right color combination, you can even enhance color details from your outfit.
Think of round waxed laces, flat tonal laces, or reflective rope laces. By playing with color, texture, and material, you effortlessly give your sneakers a new look.
Double lace is now truly the trend
Where last year it was mainly visible in niche streetwear circles, double lacing is now a widely embraced trend. On platforms like TikTok and Pinterest, thousands of posts go viral with #asicslacing or #gelnycdoublelace. You see collabs, influencers, and even retailers routinely including two sets of laces in a release.
What does that say? Double lacing is not just an extra; it has now become a standard in sneaker customization. Especially with popular models like the ASICS GEL-NYC Cream Grey Floss, ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 White Midnight, and ASICS GEL-1130 White Pure Silver, it is now almost rarer not to see double laces.
The combination of comfort and appearance is irresistible. It shows that you have an eye for detail and think one step beyond the standard look.
How to start double lacing yourself?
Want to upgrade your sneakers right away? Then choose from the perfect Asics Laces in lengths of 120–140 cm and get started. Begin with the first set as you would normally lace. Then add the second in the opposite direction or with a slightly different pattern. Make sure the pressure is well distributed and both sets feel comfortable.
For example, if you have beige sneakers with gray details, try a combination of sand-tone flat laces with reflective rope laces in gray for a layered look that is perfectly balanced.
Make your sneakers stand out without being flashy
The ASICS GEL-NYC is already a statement on its own. But by double lacing it, you add a personal signature. Whether you choose tonal layering or color contrast, double laces give your sneaker more character without losing its roots.
It’s the trend of the moment, and it’s your moment to stylishly jump on it.
