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.
