Title: Birdman Lakai pro moodel
Post by: Putaslocas on September 05, 2018, 05:22:09 PM
Not gonna lie, a few of my friends and myself are especially stoked on the new tony hawk lakai pro model, the proto. Not sure when it drops but definitely looking forward to it. Do you guys think this shoe is gonna help lakai get themselves back in the game? If you wanna see photos google “lakai proto” dont feel like getting a code to post here. Or check lakais recent post of manchild sporting them in a park clip.

No, he's right. You could have shared your opinion in any of the shoe threads talking about it already. Instead you started a new thread in the wrong section. Great work.

Ohhh right right because lakai going to shit is not a hot topic right now and talking about a shoe that could potentially help them out is stupid. Youre a tool too, hate. Figuratively and literally.

I'm just glad the catalog doesn't show the shoe with that fucking hideous Velcro lace cover. If that was a feature that was built in or included the designer should have been fired and blacklisted from the industry. I want Lakai to stay around. Rickk and Mike have contributed a lot to skateboarding and i would like to see them have continued success and be able to rebuild and grow for 20 more years. I've been happy with the shoes I've had from them the past 2 years, the Owen is by far my favorite slip on currently on the market and I like the Freemont too. However, they dropped the ball on this! The Money on designing this shoe should have been used to travel and film some promos or swoop up someone lost in the shuffle at Adidas or Nike which would make some noise having a pro jump ship to Lakai.

You can see where they are going for the look for the Enigma, but the should have just updated the Telford or something. they wanted to go for the late 80s skate shoe look but also wanted to make it look like a Jordan too. The Telford is a dunk rip off that would have looked great in Jordan colorways.

It looks better in some of the other colors people have posted before.  I don't hate it, but the sole is off to me,

It's funny that he was skating the Riley 1s almost exclusively before he officially got on and while they were still in production and now his pro model is nothing like it.

I dig them. I think is tight that Lakai and Tony are doing something that Tony can back and probably designed 100%, not just  some basic black top - white sole that every fucking brand does.

I will buy these for sure if I can.

The shoe looks sick, I just hate the colorway.

Silhouette looks cool, kinda lynxy style and I have recently been skating Lakai griffins with the xlk cupsole wchich I like really much. I just fucking hate that black toebox. ugh.

Btw: I saw a clip of the birdman skating the supreme bowl La with those on and I thought he was skating fucking jordan 11's.

This shoe in white:

They look like the old lakai models when they took 2 weeks to properly break in, but would actually last a little while once they were broken in.

which is why you will be seeing a bunch of 40+ers wearing these like 3-5 years from now wondering what the fuck they are because they havent been made in years.

i tend to agree re the design, there's something a bit off (unsuccessful?) about it. like a work in progress or a sample shoe. maybe they'll tighten it up for version 2.0, if there is one. makes sense they're doing it as a limited run, i hope people who like it actually do buy it/they get encouraging feedback. seems risky but tony hawk is a big/crossover name so maybe it'll work?

not sure they had to budget extra ps, everything is done in-house at lakai. anyone have a pic of alternate colourways

This is a lie.

The best thing anybody has said about them is that they might buy them if they're on deep discount. Ain't nobody buying these turds and I can't believe Lakai done did it again.

just saw the white/black colorway in the lakai spring '19 catalog. any other tennis players out there? remind you of the nike zoom vapor 9.5 tour? (and for that reason i kind of think it's the best colorway out of the bunch ;D)

And people wonder why core skate brands are struggling... $35 is less than what it costs for shops to buy these wholesale, I bet.

95 is steep, 80 would've been better but maybe too cheap for tony/a "tech" shoe

riley's shoe is 70 for reference, guess we'll see if ppl don't mind the price...

Just bought a pair. Have not had a chance to test em out, seattle rain is no fun..

I ended up getting a pair as well, fit is pretty good but they are a bit stiff straight out of the box. I think they'll loosen up nicely after a couple of skates. The only thing I'd change is a bit more padding in the collar, I'm pretty pedantic about heel lock.

 all in all first impressions are good.. plus the box is cool.

I would say yes, though they are fairly narrow in the midfoot area for me. The length is ok.

They have a similar feel to DC Tiago's as those are snug in the mid foot area for me as well. I wear size 12 in SB fat tongue Dunks, Kyle Walkers and Tiago's and bought 12 with Hawks. I couldn't try them on either. They are stiffer out of the box then all the aforementioned shoes.

Another thing, if you have a high arch they may feel funny due to the narrowness in that area.

Yeah, c'mon Shuh - don't suggest exactly what he inquired about, that's a clear path to being kooked into oblivion on here. How dare you show him a black and white suede version of the shoe when that's what he wanted.

all three of those Lakai catalogs for this year are pretty solid. cannot wait for those Atlantics to drop!! the black/white for most models is something every company should do. and a lot of their silhouettes are clean, if not similar. Newport, Flaco 2 and Cambridge all look appealing to me. i kinda prefer the Manchester over the Sheffield design.

i tried the Bristol a few months ago and it had horrible fit, like the worst heel lock i've ever experienced on a shoe fully laced up. i just think the insole was too thick for the shoe. but i traded them in for some canvas Manchester Lean deadstock and those have turned out to be nice.
