 Today we're going to be going over five different ways on how to lace the Air Jordan 7s. I'll be using one foot for the example showing you guys the step by step process and we're going to do some on foot looks for each style as well. That way you can see what they look like. And if you didn't know by now, my name is DJ and this is the DNA show. On this channel, I love talking about sneakers and especially giving you guys tutorials like this. So if you haven't already, consider subscribing and joining the VAM. 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, the dead stock look. So as you can see right here, this is typically how the sneaker comes when it's fresh out the box and you haven't worn the shoe yet and we as sneaker heads like to call this the dead stock style. So if you flip the laces up from behind the tongue, you can see right here it has the knot and some people typically either wear it with the knot exposed or with the knot behind the tongue. So let's take a quick look at both styles on foot and then we'll take it to the next style. How did you guys feel about that first style? Me personally, not my favorite, but I have seen people rock it. So I wanted to make sure I introduced that to y'all as well. Now let's take it to one of my favorite styles. This right here, we call the loose fit. So what we're going to do is undead stock the lace style and then we're going to take the laces out from the front end because they go outward and inside to the holes. We want to go from inside out. That way we can make sure that laces are able to hang throughout the outside. So what we're going to do is this lace it through this bottom hole again, let it hang maybe about, I don't know, about two or three inches down low and then we're going to do the same thing right here on the opposite side. And then what we're going to want to do is take our fingers and loosen it up just right here on the top and slowly disperse the laces throughout. I like to take three fingers and pull it like this. That way there's an even disbursement throughout the laces as we loosen it up. And then, oh man, this is going to be my favorite. I love rocking these like this. That's why I'm so excited to show you guys. So as you can see right here, this is more of that loose style. It's going to look a lot more better on foot. So let's just see what it looks like on foot. So how do you guys feel about that style? Now when it comes to the Air Jordan 7, this shoe is configured almost kind of like a harachi. So it has like a booty basically all throughout the inside of the foot. So you never really have to worry about the shoe falling off your foot if you were to wear it with this loose style. I know a lot of people have that concern, but as you can see from the constructions right here, this material, this nylon material goes all the way throughout and into the back, which locks your foot in. So it's pretty hard to have the shoe fly off your foot. Now for this next style, I like to call it the high knot. So what we're going to do is tighten this shoe back up and get it looking a lot more formal. And I think a lot of people typically when they see people wear their Air Jordan 7s, it is kind of hard because you got the flaps on the sides right here. But what they typically might do is wear this with some jeans or something like that. And they'll either lace it right here and put a knot just like this, looking like almost like they're about to go hoop or something. But you'll see it with the knot right here, or they'll go to the top and put it up one more hole above and then lace it up all the way high, super high at the top. Now, me personally, I don't really like this style because I feel like I'm just going to be ready to go hoop and play in a basketball game or something. But I definitely do see people rocking it like this and they'll have the knot with the bow tie and then they'll have like their jeans kind of draped over or something like that. I even seen people rock this with shorts this way. So I'll give you guys a couple of different looks and we'll see what you think about the on foot looks. So what do you guys think about that style? Drop a comment down below and let me know. What we're going to do next is do another style when it comes to the bow tie, but a little bit different. We're going to unlace it again and leave these bottom two holes open. And then what we're going to do is go back to a similar to that dead stock style. We're going to go from the outside and work our way in. And then we're going to do the same thing on the opposite side of the foot and go from the outside working our way in. And then we're going to want to do is put a bow tie right here. And this is going to kind of sit on the inside at the top and then we'll loosen it up and give it that loose vibe. And I've seen a lot of people wear their Air Jordan 7s this way. So I'm going to loosen this up and show you guys what it looks like on foot. This style in particular, I think is a fan favorite. Like I said earlier, I see a lot of people rocking it with this style. I have done it before, but not too often. I feel like the loosey goosey just, you know, just laces all over the place. That's just been my style for many years for all my sneakers. I never liked tying my shoes. I like to just slip them on and go. And honestly, you could pretty much do the same thing with this because it's pretty loose down here. So I'm interested to see what you guys think about this style. Now we have one final style that you know we got to do in every single video, the bars. Okay, so what you're going to want to do is make sure that the shoe is entirely unlaced and you just have the initial bar up front. And then we're going to do one hole, skip a hole and go to the opposite hole. So we'll start with this right side first. We'll go immediately in this first hole. And then we're going to go up and over across and create that first bar. And then what we're going to do is the same thing on the opposite side, but we're going to skip two holes. So we're going to let this one sit and we're going to take this original lace now from the left side and go underneath this, pull it through up to the second hole right here, go under and out, bang, bang. And then we're going to pull across directly to the opposite hole and create that third bar. And we're going to repeat this process all the way to the top. So instead of going here, we're going to skip a hole, bam, run it through. And then on this one, we already skipped the hole. So we're going to bam, run it through. And then we're going to go directly across. Pretty simple process. Just always make sure that you're skipping a hole when you're going through. I'm interested to see the bar style on the Air Jordan 7. We always do the bar style on every single Jordan. So it's always fun trying to figure out how to lace it depending on the model and everything like that. So I'm having fun doing this. And sometimes it actually ends up coming out looking pretty solid. Now, I don't know exactly, we're probably going to leave this one. We're just going to tuck this one on the inside when it comes to the top. This last and final one, we're going to do the bar across, bang, and then we'll tuck that inside. So this is the bar style on the Air Jordan 7. I'm excited to see what these look like on foot. Let's check it out. Now that was definitely a very interesting look. I can't say it was my favorite, but I'm not mad at it. And again, I'm excited to hear what you guys think about the different styles down below in the comment section.
