On This Day in Crailtap History (Oct. 20-21, 2007) the Lakai crew set out to an abandoned lot on the outskirts of Downtown LA to film the intro for Fully Flared. Lakai dug into the archives and put together a raw behind the scenes cut of the day!
LAKAI’s friend Nathaniel Russell shows his artist collection and explains the concept behind it. The entire collection features custom colorways of the Telford Low, Manchester, and Owen VLK, along with a full apparel line and skate wax.
It’s official, Kyonosuke Yamashita is on Lakai. Kyo has been skating flow for Lakai in Japan since he was a little kid. In 2018 they took a trip to Tokyo, and at the age of 13 he skated a demo. Fast forward 4 years, and they are stoked to officially welcome him to the family. Keep your eyes peeled for lots more to come from young Kyonosuke.
Welsh has been a part of Lakai since their early days. He is arguably one of the most influential skaters of his time, leaving an undeniable mark on San Francisco and most notably, the famous Pier 7. Watch Griffin Gass, Tyler Pacheco, Rodrigo Gonzales, and Tory Hereford pay homage to Welsh on the City’s sacred grounds. Lakai created a collection for Welsh using current product with a nod to the past. Shop the Welsh collection HERE.
Presenting the Paterson collection by Lakai. A colorful and sporty capsule personifying all things skateboarding.
Inspired by Paterson’s tennis aesthetic and hometown style. The concept for the collection was created by East Coast skateboarder, designer, and brand owner German Nieves to showcase the heritage of Lakai with the non-conventional Paterson blueprint.
Jimmy Gorecki and Stevie Perez have teamed up to bring you a special collection featuring the Flaco 2 and Flaco 2 Mid, along with a custom sweat suit. Catch up with them on a day in LA to see how it all came about. Shop the collection HERE.
“This shoe was designed for endless trudging, wherever your path leads you. Over Muddy trails, steep concrete hills, mountains, deserts, beaches. Through any weather- sun, rain, snow, the Trudger will go wherever your heart desires. In the Pacific North West, my friends and I skate for miles and miles from suburbs to cities to find our choice spots, “trudging” the whole way (walking/pushing through it all). I need shoes that protect my feet with padding on the sides, tongue, and toes; shoes that lace up tight if needed and are high enough to protect my ankle from shark bite or sprains. These shoes are comfortable, simple and not flashy. They are warm, durable and most importantly, they skate and flick soooo nice.” – Tested and Approved by Simon Bannerot
Each skater’s style is like a signature; it’s unique personal reflection that makes every trick part of a larger self-portrait. So when CCS hit a couple of obstacles with Vincent Alvarez, Stevie Perez, and Giffin Gass from the Lakai team we know each of these guys is gonna bring their own assortment of flare to the session. It’s what makes skating great.
And now, thanks to Customs X by CCS, they can each create their own Lakai apparel that’s as unique as their approaches to barrier skating… and so can you. Push the Lakai graphic T-shirts, long sleeves, and griptape in any direction you want. Keep it clean, make it hectic, or go full abstraction. The flare is in your hands. Build your own HERE.
