Converse Double Uppers

Greetings my loyal subjects!

The Imperial Mother has sent me two pairs of Converse Double Uppers for Christmas.

As you can see, they have two sets of shoelaces and two sets of eyelets on them. But I think they look cool so I wanted to wear them right away.

So I set about trying to figure out how to lace the darn things. The first thing I tried is to lace them up normally, like how you would lace up any other sneaker except this time I have to do it on two layers.

I didn't like how it turned out. The laces on the top layer practically covered the entire bottom layer, and I wanted both layers to be seen clearly.

So I spent the afternoon trying to research on the Internet on how the heck do I lace these things. Frustrated, I ended up calling the Imperial Mother to ask her how.

"You are such an idiot. You're only supposed to lace the bottom layer, then keep the extra laces as spare."

So I did just that, and it turned out pretty well.

Then I got to the second pair of sneakers.

See, this pair came with two different colored laces, and I couldn't decide which one to use. Actually, I wanted to use them both >.<

So after hours of lacing and unlacing the thing, and getting lots of little nicks on my imperial fingers because they keep getting scraped by the eyelets, this is what I came up with.

I'm not exactly wild about this solution, but it'd do well enough for me right now until I come up with another one.

I still can't wait to wear them though ^_^
