How Two-Tone and Mix-and-Match Lacing Are Shaping Today’s Footwear Styles

Two-tone and mix-and-match shoelaces are becoming a regular feature in modern athletic and casual footwear. These styles either use one shoelace that combines two contrasting colours or involve lacing shoes with two differently coloured laces. Both of these frames offer bold visual contrast and a unique way for wearers to personalise their look.

 
This movement is part of a bigger trend towards customisation and making a statement with what you wear. On platforms like Instagram and TikTok, sneaker fans and regular users are showing off creative laces as part of their personal style.

2 common styles on the market

1. Dual-Color Shoelace (Single Lace)

  • This is a single shoelace made with two different colours, joined together during the dyeing or weaving process. This approach creates a smooth visual split that goes well with bold shoe designs.

2. Pairing two laces of different colours

  • You can use two separate shoelaces in different colours for the same shoe. This method lets brands and consumers create custom contrast or mirror symmetry, depending on shoe style.

 

  • These methods are especially popular in sneaker culture, where small design changes can make one style stand out from another.
