This is like DVS 2.0  :'( :'( :'(
I think this is for 6month and LAKAI die :'(

[EdLawndale]

Was having a convo with someone today about where Bastien sits on the GOAT ranking, in terms of style, and we watched that Paris contest where he destroyed. I would put him comfortably 20-30, maybe somewhere in the 15 to 20 range.

Rickk Mike VA Griff and Riley would have inspired me to buy Lakai. now, not so much.

Bunch of randoms and Bastien. Not gonna lie, was cool to see some properly filmed Bastien clips. He's on it. Still surreal this though.

[counter spell]

Do I think Bastien can single handedly bring Lakai back?

No.

Am I gonna watch footage they put out?

Yes.

Will I buy Lakai due to either of the above?

Unlikely, but I will watch this train wreck and Bastien's clips.

yeap, the same over here

actually tried many different models of them at a local shop in the last few years, never bought any cause prices were stupid for the quality they have

past team member shoe models on the sale rack felt cringy

[Colin Robinson]

As I said earlier, Bastien deserves better

[doyle]

I'm surprised Kyonosuke isn't still on. Didn't he come up with the Luis Mora guy who seems to be in charge/involved now?

[TwisT]

the Lakai skateboarding team, a global team of skaters representing competition, cultural diversity

As someone who has constantly ragged on brands for having 6 versions of the same dude. I also cringe when I read shit like this.

I don't think these dudes can anchor a team. Skill is irrelavent

Does he really?
Wonder if he'll get a pro model, that would be interesting.

so you're saying they're Fully Flawed?

yeah but kyonosuke actually came up

[manuduncan]

Kyonosuke will prob be put on by someone through his primitive connections. Even bro flow from Nike/new balance/cons is better than being fully on lakai

Always thought him and Cody Chapman were too good for late era lakai anyway

Totally - I had just assumed that he was Luis Mora's "in" with Lakai and he would stick around as the main rider. Glad he's (likely) not, though!

[Candied cigarettes]

Nah

[SATORI]

I can't stop laughing about how all of this has played out. It is also funny how good Bastien still is at skating.

He'll be throwing full cab flips down fisheyed stairs for another while at least.

[Dooky-shoes]

Bachinski and Cody mac to be announced soon.

[lucascbn]

Is Kyo still really on? He's not on the team page linked above

Nah

Bastien's still got it. He's regularly posting heavy clips at MACBA and still looks good on a board, but as far as "deserving better", dude shot himself in the foot more than once.

[DCLegacyBestShoe]

About what I expected lol. I wish they atleast did some OG reissues before digging the grave.

[Taffy Lee Fubbins]

Lakai has fully entered the GnR 'Chinese Democracy' era. Outside of the Flare logo, there's not really any identifying traits of the brand anymore, and I dunno if Bastien is ready for the role of lead guitar.

[gumsole]

Can anyone tell me when a "2.0" version of a brand actually worked? So far the ones I can think of were/are complete disasters.

He was in some Fastbreaks in some IG footy I watched the other day, that would be a good fit.

This news doesn't affect me

[h00man]

does any shoe "rebrand/relaunch" ever work out?
