Lakai x Baker Riley Hawk Collection

Riley came to Lakai after the launch of his Dad’s shoe, inspired by the commercial that Tony and Manchild had created.

Tony Hawk Does 100 BLUNTS In His Lakai Proto Shoe

When CCS texted Tony Hawk about doing 100 of a trick in his Lakai shoe, on VERT, he made sure to let them know that meant he had to hit almost 200 walls of his ramp in one session. Not skating vert, we didn’t really know what this meant. Apparently it’s like running a marathon just to hit 12 walls in one run, so it was a tall order. Thankfully, Tony is as pro as he was at 14 and banged them out for us with a smile! We couldn’t be more stoked to see the legend in one of CCS’s wear tests! See how his shoe held up and grab a pair at CCS.com today!
