How to Tie Hidden Knots with Air Force 1 Laces Using KNOTTY Accessories

Introduction

Want your Air Force 1s or favorite sneakers to look crisp and clutter-free? The hidden knot style is the pro trick for a flawless finish—no bulky bows, just smooth lines. With KNOTTY’s range of flat laces, bold dubraes (lace tags), and sneaker chains, you can bring streetwear energy and personal flair to your shoes, all in one go.


Step-by-Step: Hidden Knot Lacing with KNOTTY

1. Choose KNOTTY Laces, Dubraes, and Sneaker Chains

2. Lace Up

  • Thread your new KNOTTY laces using the “criss-cross” or “straight bar” technique.

  • Stop at the second-to-last or top eyelet for a secure fit.

3. Attach Dubraes and Sneaker Chains

  • Slide your chosen dubrae onto the lace before starting or at the finishing position below the knot for that signature AF1 look.

  • Clip a sneaker chain across the lower set of eyelets or atop your laces for instant style.

4. The Hidden Knot

  • Tie a tight single or double knot behind the tongue (inside the shoe), ensuring comfort.

  • Tuck excess lace and the knot under the insole or behind the tongue—no bows on display!

5. Adjust and Flex

  • Make sure your shoe fits snugly but comfortably.

  • Dubraes and chains shouldn’t pinch or move—readjust as needed for a secure, stylish finish.


KNOTTY Tips

  • Try metallic dubraes for luxury, glow-in-the-dark for night looks, or match your sneaker chain and dubrae for coordinated shine.

  • Clean, unworn KNOTTY laces always level up that hidden-knot look.
