Sometimes the most significant fashion trends are truly the least complicated. Exhibit A: the double-lace shoe. It’s exactly what it sounds like — doubling up contrasting laces on a single sneaker — and yet, it delivers a whole new color or textural element to a simple pair of trainers.

While New Balance x Miu Miu’s double-lace design wasn’t invented in a vacuum, the high-end, low-profile kicks can surely take some credit for popularizing the style. Cut to 2026: In addition to Miu Miu, which continues to implement this doubled up element, dozens of best-selling brands and premium labels are mirroring the look.
