Lakai Shoes

About Lakai Shoes

Lakai is a skate shoe label based in Torrance, California, and it has been built for skateboarding since 1999. It started when Girl team skaters and co-owners Mike Carroll and Rick Howard decided they could add something to the skate shoe world. The label sits within the Crailtap family, alongside Girl Skateboards, Chocolate Skateboards, Royal Trucks and Fourstar Clothing. Its first video, Beware of the Flare, arrived in 2002, and the full-length Fully Flared followed in 2007, going on to win Best Video from both The Skateboard Mag and Transworld. Today the range includes the Telford, Cambridge and Manchester shoes, plus team apparel and accessories such as T-shirts, five panel caps, beanies and hoodies.
