    These were one of the first pairs of shoes I got when I got back into skating not too long ago and they’re still in my top 3 in terms of skating shoes. I even landed my first kickflip in them because the flick on it was so good! And they were comfy as hell the outsole insole combo is the reason I was able to skate after an Achilles injuries so many good memories with this shoe!

      Hey wow, these were my first pair of skate shoes after not skating for 17-18 years. I really liked them too. I also got a pair of Atlantics that were awesome as well. I would definitely buy another pair of those and these.

      @@crkrcksteady the Atlantic is Vincent’s pro shoe, right? Always loved his approach to skating. My local had a grip of Lakai, éS, and Emerica drop for the new season. The quality difference of today’s Lakai models versus the Flare era are night and day.
      Regardless, I landed my first kickflips in Mike Mo’s pro shoe. They were barely around before he left for DC. But god damn, the combo of flick, comfort, impact protection, and boardfeel puts them right up with the DC Mike Mo and Etnies Marana for being tough as nails while feeling perfect for a cupsole model.

    These shoes are seriously some of my favorite shoes I’ve skated. The only problem I had was durability. By the end of the third week I had started to get through the out sole fully and had a blowout on my right shoe. Granted, I go through shoes very quickly, but even something like the Michelin maranas from etnies last me almost two months

    Solid, long lasting comfort, with a look that bridges the gap between old school and new.

    I skate Lakai pretty regularly and it seems that the low ankle protection is a pretty common issue in a lot of their shoes. I’ve even managed to bust my ankle open from my ankle making contact with the nose / grip over and over. It’s annoying, but I still like all the other aspects of their shoes. Next up on my list to buy from them are some high tops 😂.

      Just talked about this with my buddy last night. I will take a brand new shoe and rub the toe of the shoe (where I typically flip the board) across grip tape several times to get that nice transition. It kind of hurts knowing that I'm taking away several skate-sessions away from the longevity of the shoe, but my flip tricks are too grippy and hard to get a consistent flip with thst defined, new edge.

    this is just my experience but i’m more of a heelflip guy than a kickflip guy. the way i do my heelflips made it so the logo came off in my first session and i wore completely through the synthetic leather in about 3 sessions. i threw some duct tape on and kept skating but i also sprained my ankle on a hardflip about 2 weeks later and retired them. they def have a little life in them but they just weren’t for me. i tried sb dunk highs right after and found that they are almost perfect for my skating. not trying to bash lakai or promote nike but that’s what i found works for me. i enjoyed the review and keep it up!
