Griffin Gass for The Manchester XLK – LAKAI

Back by popular demand, the Manchester XLK redefined the skate shoe model in the mid 2000’s. The design was the opposite of the market at that time, yet it had everything a skate shoe needed. It was a simple design with a streamlined silhouette and seamless toe. Minimizing the panels reduced seam blowout which created a more durable skate shoe. A basic concept that still holds true with today’s skateboarding. A nod to the past with modern technology. We are welcoming back two original colorways from their first inception in 2004.

No Rest in the North West Tour – LAKAI

A two week skate trip to the North West in the middle of winter? Sounds insane, but with a Simon Bannerot and James Capps colorway coming out there was only one way to kick things off properly: a good old road trip to the guys’ hometowns. With a full crew packed in the van and an overload of stoke, we headed out with our hopes high and our fingers crossed. The Skate Gods had our backs and we skated every day, for 2 weeks straight, with an occasional snow ball fight and sledding rev snuck in. Watch Simon, James, Griffin, Tyler, Cody, Jimmy, Vincent and Yonnie brave the cold and rip through Boise and Seattle.
