This is a doubled-up version of Ian's Knot: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm

I've been using this knot for years; I want to say since college (at least 10 years now). It's stupid fast to do once you learn it and it doesn't slip off ever.

Highly HIGHLY recommend learning it.

Came here to post this one. I intentionally tried to train myself to do this about 10 years ago and the muscle memory came a lot quicker than I expected. It's a very secure knot and the sides hang to the side, not wonky like the ones most of us learned.

It took me a few months to nail it; jealous you got it more quickly than I did!

This was kind of like learning Vim. I struggled with how to computer for two weeks and lost the desire to learn literally anything else after mastering it. (I still prefer Vim with my plugins over VSCode!)
