Two laces, one shoe. It started as a stylist trick, turned into a micro trend through New Balance collabs with Miu Miu and Basketcase, and now ASICS is in on it with a three-pack of GEL-Cumulus 16s, per Sneaker News.
The trio is listed as "coming soon" at Naked Copenhagen, and it fits that shop's women-led lineup: soft, earthy, very contemporary. One pair comes in "Mocha," one in "Burnt Umber" and one in "Pink Sand," and each borrows accent colors from the other two so the pack reads as a set. Every pair ships with multiple lace sets, meant to be worn together. The Mocha pair, for example, runs red-orange and pale pink laces side by side through the eyelets.
This is a 2000s runner dressed up like it's going to a gallery opening, and it works. The Cumulus 16's chunky mesh-and-overlay upper has enough going on that the extra laces look intentional, not like you got dressed in the dark. Whether it stays a Naked exclusive is still unclear. Sneaker News says it might also roll out wider through ASICS and other retailers.
