Designer sneakers too expensive? Here's how to easily transform your sneakers into a designer item

You don't need a six-month waiting list or a second mortgage to get close to a pair of Miu Miu designer sneakers. All you need? Laces. Two extra pairs to be exact.

Two bows, double the coolness.

The hack is simple but so fun that you'll want to try it immediately: you lace your sneakers first with one set of laces, stop halfway, and then grab a second pair. End result? Two bows, double the coolness. It feels a bit like your shoes have received a couture upgrade without your credit card starting to cry. And seriously: who wouldn't want that?

Upgrade your sneakers in 5 minutes

Yes: it's time to lace up and do double lacing. While we previously saw all the fashion victims who managed to snag a pair of New Balance x Miu Miu designer sneakers, we still haven't forgotten these super cool sneakers after a summer full of flip-flops and sandals. Next stop: choose two colors that clash or match, and in five minutes, you've gone from Adidas to high fashion.

Perfect for making your old sneakers look new again, making a one-of-a-kind statement, and constantly giving them a totally different look: tying your sneaker laces in Miu Miu style. So. No money for a pair of designer sneakers? No more excuses.
