Mike Carroll Instagram – I wrote a whole novel 😂 for shoe but it didn’t fit in this caption.
So check it out on Lakai.com.
Til then, here’s the last part of that long ass story🤷🏻‍♂️ …So, long story short, as we worked on the development of a shoe inspired by skateboarding and Lakai’s earlier designs. I thought we should make my 1st Lakai shoe, but how I would approach it today. A shoe with straight out of the box broken in comfortable cupsole XLK™️ with vulcanized grip and and board feel. The sole that compliments the original upper’s aesthetic while being clean looking but with timeless character. Not as puffy as the OG, but padded enough to where Rick Howard thinks they are too puffy for his taste. He likes slim shoes with very little padding.
I’m hyped on the feel and skate straight out the box, looking down and not feeling like I’m wearing a brick shoe from the early 2000’s but still get that nostalgic feeling. And I’m sure you will feel the same. We at Lakai, look backwards for inspiration but we don’t move backwards. Just like the progression of skateboarding.
Thank you to everyone that has supported Lakai from day one or at any time, without you there is no us. ✨👟✨ Lakai, Skateboarding’s best kept secret, “Tell everyone not to tell anyone.” #InspiredBySkateboarding
