The last pair of Lakai's I had were the Guy Mariano Models, And they felt like I was wearing 2 Left SHoes...Atleast sk8ing Vans, Nikes Etc, Are consistent with the comfort/feel ETc. Finding them at clearance prices makes sense to me.
I think Roger B. was mostly aiming his commennt towards Lakai, And not towards all SK8er owned Shoe companies (Specially with MJ & Kelly being next to him)....A heat of the Moment type comment.
Royal is Crap (Backwards set up Fury's Turn better), 4Star is/was Crap (BEst Team and Dope Look, But Total Shit quality control!!) Lakai was dope at one point, & has turned into XJ900 STatus.
Its definitely a slippery slope, With C-rob, Still riding for Chocolate....I give him/them props (NIneClub), For even bringing up that Subject!!
in the Long Run....They all get Publicity & there wasn't any Low Blows
