Lakai

Lakai has been doing it right since 1999. Started by Mike Carroll and Rick Howard, the brand was built around one simple goal: make skate shoes that actually perform. Every pair is designed for real skating with focus on board feel, control, and clean design.

The Lakai skate shoes lineup keeps that legacy alive through rider-tested models that balance function and comfort. Along with Lakai apparel, the brand blends classic skate heritage with a modern feel that fits seamlessly into everyday life.

Lakai represents authenticity in its purest form. It’s made by skaters, worn by skaters, and built for anyone who values style and substance equally. Explore the latest Lakai shoes, Lakai apparel, and Lakai skate gear created for those who live and breathe skateboarding.
