1. An article of footwear having an upper and a sole structure, the upper including a lacing system comprising:
a first series of lace-receiving elements extending in a longitudinal direction of the footwear; a second series of lace-receiving elements extending in the longitudinal direction of the footwear, the second series being spaced from and parallel to the first series; and a first lace that comprises a first lace element and a second lace element that is parallel and coextensive with the first lace element, the first lace having a first terminal end and a second terminal end opposite the first terminal end,
wherein the first lace element and second lace element converge to form a unitary lace segment defining an end length of the first lace disposed adjacent to the first terminal end of the first lace, andwherein the first lace element of the first lace extends through a topmost lace-receiving element of the first series of lace-receiving elements located adjacent to an ankle opening of the upper and the second lace element of the first lace extends through a lace-receiving element of the first series of lace-receiving elements that is consecutive with the topmost lace-receiving element of the first series of lace-receiving elements. |
