Notice the lacing

It's Ian that introduce me into lacing methods ( more than 2 millions of combinations possible!!!), Check Ian's shoes lace website, you will not be disapointed.
So I declare tomorrow Lacing day.
And I will lace my future pair of Derby like a ...Supernova. How cool is that?
i don't know yet to be honnest. all I know is that

This lacing method, like most decorative methods, is more difficult to tighten.
This method has the advantage that the top is like a V-neck tee-shirt.
Once the knot is untied, the top of the shoe can be opened wide to easily slip the foot in or out without needing to loosen or re-tighten all of the lacing.

 Lacing Technique 1 (for EVEN numbers of eyelet pairs):
1. The lace is run straight across and the ends are fed in through the set of eyelets just below the middle of the shoe (grey section).

2. The ends are crossed diagonally upwards on the inside and emerge through the next vacant set of eyelets up the shoe.

3. The ends are crossed diagonally downwards on the outside and are fed in through the next vacant set of eyelets down the shoe.

4. Repeat steps (2) and (3), each time crossing diagonally upwards on the inside or downwards on the outside, until both ends reach the top eyelets

 Lacing Technique 2 (for ODD numbers of eyelet pairs):
1. The lace is run straight across and the ends emerge through the middle set of eyelets (grey section).

2. The ends are crossed diagonally downwards on the outside and are fed in through the next vacant set of eyelets down the shoe.

3. The ends are crossed diagonally upwards on the inside and emerge through the next vacant set of eyelets up the shoe.

4. Repeat steps (2) and (3), each time crossing diagonally downwards on the outside or upwards on the inside, until both ends reach the top eyelets.





 et voilà!
A perfect example of Supernova Adidas.
