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.

Each season, Nordstrom curates a “What’s Hot Now” trend guide, breaking down the pieces, patterns and aesthetics dominating the fashion space. At the top of the list for fall 2026? Animal Prints, ’90s archival workwear and, of course, double-lace shoes.

Below, 10 more top brands doing the trend right.
