Loose Lacing
Do loose lacing on Adidas Campus 00s to highlight thick laces. You’re essentially turning your shoes into slip-ons with a loose, comfortable fit—no tying required. Loose lacing lets thick laces stand out while almost completely covering the tongue of the shoe. To begin, point the shoe so the toe is facing you. First, lace the left and right ends of your lace through the outside of the two lowest holes. Hold the ends together and pull them through so you have an equal amount of lace to work with on each side. Take the lace on your right and cross it over to the left side, weaving it through the next free hole on the left side. Push it through from the outside of the shoe, toward the tongue, and pull it through. After threading it through the hole, tug at the laces you’ve woven to make sure they’re loose. Do this as you go—it’s easier than loosening your laces at the end. Repeat by weaving the lace on your left through the next available hole on the right side. Keep weaving the laces through the opposite-side holes, threading them from the outside-in and loosening them as you go until you get to the top holes on both sides. When you lace through the final two holes, weave each end of the lace from the inside-out. Before pulling through, tuck the last two lace lines under the tongue. Pull through to finish lacing.
Diamond Lacing
Choose diamond lacing for a classic look. Diamond lacing is the criss-cross pattern you probably think of when you imagine a laced-up shoe. Unlike loose lacing, diamond lacing lets the tongue of the shoe show through. It also produces a tighter fit, making it ideal when you’ll be doing a lot of walking or running in your Campus 00s. Before lacing, position your shoe so the toe is pointing toward you. Slip the right and left ends of the lace through the lowest two holes on your shoe, from the inside (the tongue) outward. Pull the ends through at the same time to get even lengths on each side. Grab the lace on your right. Pull it over to the left side and skip one hole above the one you already laced through. Thread it from the outside-in and pull it through. Repeat with the lace on your left side. Thread it outside-in through a hole on the right side, leaving an empty hole between it and the bottom hole that you laced through first. Grab the lace on your right side. Tuck it under the lace you just made and pull it through the empty hole you left, from the inside-out. Do the same with the lace on your left side, tucking it under the lace and through the empty hole you left on the left side. Repeat these steps, crossing laces over and threading them from the outside-in while leaving an empty hole. Then, thread the lace on each side back through the empty hole from the inside-out. Do this until you reach the top. Tie a bow to lock in your design and secure the excess laces.
Bar Lacing
Bar-lace your Adidas Campus 00s for a clean appearance. Bar lacing is a pattern that looks like a row of straight lines across the tongue of your shoe. Since you don’t see where the laces cross over to get from one hole to the next, bar-lacing creates a neat illusion. Visually, it looks clean and uncomplicated. First, point your shoe so you’re facing the toe and not the heel. Start by threading your lace through the bottom two right and left holes on your shoe (closest to the toe) from the outside in. Once each end has been threaded, hold them together and pull them through to get even lace lengths on each side. Grab the end of the lace on the right side. Skip a hole and weave it through the third hole from the bottom on the right side, from the inside out. This will help you hide the space between bars. Pull your right-side lace to the left side and weave it from the outside-in through the third hold from the bottom on the left side (skipping a hole). Take the lower lace on the left side of the shoe. Weave it through the empty second hole on the left side, from the inside-out. Then, weave the same lace from the outside-in through the empty second hole on the right side of the shoe. Repeat the steps to create additional bars. Remember to skip a hole when lacing from the inside-out on the same side, and from the outside-in when crossing over to the parallel hole on the opposite side. At the top of the shoe when threading the last two holes, tuck the last two bars under the tongue of the shoe.
Top-Down Lacing (No Tie)
Lace from the top down to get rid of excess laces. For a no-bow look that’s also tight and secure, lace from the top-down and then tuck the laces back up through the inside of the shoe. It’s a simple lacing pattern that uses up most of the laces so you don’t have to tie a bow. This look works best with thin laces. Face the unlaced shoe with the toe pointing toward you. Fold the tongue forward and thread your lace through the holes that are second from the top ones on the right and left side. Thread from the inside-out. Once threaded, unfold the tongue and push it back so it covers the lace. Leave the very top holes on both sides unthreaded—you’ll pull the excess lace through them at the very end. Pick up the left-side lace. Cross it to the right side and thread it through the first free hole, from the outside-in. Pick up the top right-side lace. Cross it over to the left side and thread it through the first free hole, from the outside-in. Repeat until you’ve woven down to the bottom two holes, closest to the toe. Grab the lace on the left side. Weave it up the shoe, under the woven laces, and thread it through the top hole from the inside-out. Repeat on the right side with the right lace.
No-Show Lacing
Use no-show lacing to show off the color of your shoes. This lacing pattern offers the loosest possible fit, so it’s ideal when you won’t be doing too much walking (or any running). Because the laces barely show, the tongue and color of your shoes get to shine. The pattern is also known as missing laces. Wear your unlaced shoe. Run the lace through the bottom two holes on the right and left side, closest to the toe. Pull the lace through so the amount of lace on each side is even. Thread the lace from the outside-in. Take the lace on the left side. Weave it from the inside-out through the hole just above it on the same side. Then, weave it from the outside-in through the hole above that. Continue until you reach the top of the shoe. Repeat with the lace from the right side, weaving it up the side of the shoe without crossing over the tongue. Tie a bow with the excess lace at the top of the shoe. Tuck the bow under the tongue to hide the laces.
Bar and Criss-Cross Lacing
Mix bar and criss-cross lacing for a dimensional look. If bar lacing is too difficult for you, but you still want the look, try this easier method. It’s not as clean as bar lacing, but it’s more dimensional. Begin by pointing the toe of your shoe toward you. To start, fold your lace in half so the ends are touching. Press the ends through the two lowest holes on the right side, from the inside-out. Pull the lace through so you have two even strands to work with. Pull both laces over to the left side of the shoe. Weave them through the two lowest holes on the left side (without crossing them over each other) from the outside-in. Pull the laces through so they’re under the bars you create, not over them. Wave both laces through the next two holes on the right side of the shoe, from the inside out. Again, don’t cross them over each other. Lace the higher lace through the higher hole and the lower lace through the lower one. Repeat these steps to weave the laces from right to left to right again, never crossing them and weaving through two holes at a time. Always thread from the inside-out on the right and from the outside-in on the left side. When you reach the top hole on either side, your laces should be coming out the left side. Take the higher lace and thread it inside-out through the top hole on the left. Take the lower lace and cross it over, threading it inside-out through the top hole on the right. Tuck this top lace bar under the tongue for a cleaner look.
Star Lacing
Lace a five-pointed star over your Campus 00s for a unique, edgy look. Try star lacing if you want to channel an emo or goth aesthetic with your creative kicks. The design looks more intricate than it really is. Start by holding the shoe with the toe closest to you. Pull most of the lace through the first (highest) hole on the right side. Thread it inside-out, pulling it out so only about 4.70 inches (11.9 cm) are on the side of the hole by the tongue and the rest of the lace is on the side of the hole leading out of the shoe. Bring the long end of the lace over to the left side. Weave it from the outside-in through the highest hole on the left side. Skipping a hole, weave the same long end through the third hole from the top on the left side. Thread it from the inside-out. Create another bar by weaving the lace through the third hole from the top on the right side. Thread it from the outside in. Run the lace down the right side of the shoe along the tongue. Thread it from the inside-out through the lowest hole on the right side (closest to the toe). Cross the lace over to the left side of the shoe. Weave it through the same left-side third hole from the top (it will already have a lace woven through it from earlier). Thread it from the outside-in. Run the lace down the left side of the shoe and thread it from the inside-out through the lowest hole on the left side. Cross the lace over to the right side of the shoe. Thread it from the outside-in through the third hold from the top on the right side. There will already be a lace in the hole. Run the lace back down the right side of the shoe. Thread it from the inside-out through the lowest hole on the right. Pull the lace back up the shoe. Thread it under the line that goes from left to right, then over the first bar, then under the highest bar. Thread the lace back down the left side to make the other side of the star. Start by folding the lace over the top bar, then under the lower bar, then over the diagonal that runs from left to right. Finally, thread it through the lowest hole on the left, from the outside-in. There will already be a lace in the hole. Weave the excess lace back up the shoe on the left side, under every lace. Tuck it to the side so it’s not visible. Hide both strands of excess lace at the top of the shoe beneath the tongue.
Ladder Lacing
Opt for ladder-lacing to create an intricate design. If you’re lacing with thin laces, ladder lacing gives you a sturdy hold and an impressive look for your Adidas Campus 00s. The method resembles criss-cross lacing, but with extra stitches on the sides that resemble a ladder’s rails. To start, point the toe of the shoe toward you. Run your lace through the lowest holes on the right and left side, threading from the inside-out. Pull the ends through together to get even lengths on each side. Thread the right lace outside-in through the next hole on the right side. Thread the left lace outside-in through the next on the left side. Instead of pulling them all the way through, leave a small loop, about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) in length. Pull the left lace to the right side of the shoe and weave it through the loop. Repeat with the right lace, weaving that one through the left loop. Finally, pull them tight, closing the loops and forming the first two rails of the ladder. Thread each lace outside-in through the next hole above it on its side. Once again, leave the loops. Cross the laces over and through the loops on the opposite sides. Repeat until you reach the top holes on both sides. Tie your excess laces into a bow or weave them through the top holes and let them dangle.
Loop-Back Lacing
Use loop-back lacing on your Adidas Campus 00s for a tight fit. Loop-back lacing essentially reverses the criss-cross pattern so that the laces hook in the middle of the shoe. The design looks unique and provides a tight, secure fit perfect for running. Begin by positioning your shoe so the toe is pointed towards you. Run your lace through the lowest holes on the right and left side, from the inside-out. Pull them through slowly, making sure there’s an even length of lace coming out each side. Holding the ends of both laces, pull each one diagonally across the shoe. Wrap the laces around each other once in the middle of the shoe. Return them to the next hole from the bottom on their respective side, threading them from the outside-in. Repeat these steps until you reach the top two holes. Lace the ends of the laces through the top holes on their sides and pull them through. If there’s a lot of excess lace, tie a bow.
Spider Web Lacing
Try spider-web lacing to show off your skills. If you have thin laces and patience, try to pull off the intricate spider web lacing method. Not only does it look cool, but it sits securely atop the tongue of your shoe for a tight fit. It’s perfect for days when you want your Campus 00s to be the star of your outfit. Before lacing, face your shoe so the toe is towards you. Thread your lace through the second-to-last holes from the bottom on the right and left sides, from the inside-out. Take the right lace and thread it through the lowest hole on the right side, from the outside in. Do the same with the left lace, threading it outside-in through the lowest hole on the left side. Thread the left-side lace up through the next available hole on the right side, from the inside-out. Repeat with the right-side lace, crossing it over to the next available hole on the left side. String the left-side lace down and through the loop you made through the lower two holes. Pull it through from the outside in. Repeat with the right-side lace, pulling it down and under the loop that’s strung through the lowest two holes. Repeat the previous steps, taking the laces from each side and crossing them to the first available hole on the opposite side. Then, pull them through the loops below before crossing again. Keep threading until you reach the top holes. Tuck the excess laces below the tongue or down into the sides by your ankle.
