Puerto Rico is an amazing place with great people, food, beaches, and an abundance of skate spots. Yonnie Cruz’s family lives there, so with him as our guide we covered a lot of miles up, down, and across the island. Watch Yonnie, Stevie, Cody, Simon, Tyler, Griffin, and James rip through some of PR’s finest offerings.
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!

Lakai in San Francisco for the Cambridge
Lakai teamed up with their friend, OG professional skateboarder Jovontae Turner, and created a shoe with his ideas and input. Being an innovator of style and footwear in skateboarding, we felt that Jovontae should have a shoe with his own twist on it, that matches his stylish aesthetic on and off the board. What better way to celebrate than to grab Carroll, Tae, and the crew and head back to the place where it all began.
Gone Swimming with Simon Bannerot – Lakai
In the summer of 2017, Simon was in a terrible car accident resulting in a shattered pelvis and multiple fractures throughout his body. What would have put some people out for years didn’t even set Simon back an entire year. 10 months later and he is back on an absolute terror. Watch Simon rip some backyard pools in his first skate edit back since the accident. We love ya Simon!
Lakai & Friends at West Covina Skatepark
We teamed up with our friends at Pawn Shop Skate Co. and had a jam session at West Covina park, home park of Vincent Alvarez. We brought the dogs and the beers and good times were had by all. Watch the full edit here.
Lakai x Motörhead featuring Riley Hawk
Skateboarding and Metal music have always been a perfect match. We are beyond stoked to release a full collection of Lakai x Motörhead goods and a video to go along with it. Riley has been a fan of Lemmy and Motörhead for a long time, so it made perfect sense to center this collaboration around Riley and his new shoe, the Riley 2. Watch Riley rip it up with special guest clip from Tony Hawk.
James Capps for the Lakai Sheffield
Lakai Am James Capps spent his last summer traveling all throughout Europe with a crew of his homies. Here’s the full edit by Zack Mack.
