Because whether you like it or not people are not fucking with Lakai like they used to, they lost their vibe and hype.

are you a belieber? who cares about vibe and hype.

Is this really a question? I hope you are not on the Lakai marketing team!

I'm saying people should buy stuff based on whether they like it, not on vibe and hype. Unless you're a confused teenager who can't think for himself.

I understand that and in a sense you are right but it simply doesn't work like that, people aren't feeling the same way about Lakai as they used to do. Also, whether we like it or not the pre-teen and teen market is the biggest and they are not reaching them like they used to do.

Lakai is still Mike and Rick, and that's good enough for me.

I'm saying people should buy stuff based on whether they like it, not on vibe and hype. Unless you're a confused teenager who can't think for himself.

And this is why I have not bought it. However, some of the movement behind the brand could have changed that, as I feel that Lakai really has not given me any reason to even want to buy their stuff.

Point being, I skate in Huf's, and have been since 2014. Once Dylan and Reider got on, the line changed up, I was into it. And, I can promise you that when the shop I used to work at got their first waves of Huf, I would have never thought about touching them. But, as time went on, the design changed, they put out more content, etc. So I like it to the point that I feel beyond obliged to buy it. There are some other shoe brands out there that I see, and I like the models. But I don't know if I would like them when I put them on. I'd almost feel guilty. I skate what I do as the team is great, and again, the product quality is there. So if Lakai could do something, which would call for a pretty large revitalization, they could certainly have more folks excited. Right now, in my area, it's DC's and Vans. Period.

They don't look that bad. I'm just not into current shoe trends. In fact, every few years, I find myself hating every shoe on the market based on looks. I will stick with griffen xlk as long as they make them.
