It is a gimmick or a prepped shoe. There are extra laces which are retracked under the pants while the real laces, which have been tied already drop out. It works only one time, and the shoe cannot be examined before or after the trick.
I think the trick is that he has his pant leg down covering a fully tied set of laces initialy. Then he has a second set of laces that he pulls up into his pantleg while he shakes things around real quick. It is a trick that wouldn’t require any special photography. It is all about misdirection, which most magic is. Even knowing the trick, it can be constantly entertaining.

it’s a trick,
at the start his laces are tied under his jeans and has a second set of laces hanging out.
when he shakes his leg he pulls the 2nd set of laces up and reveals the tied ones.
(i think)
