Lakai Newport XLK with new deck.



Love how Newports look, hate the way they actually perform. The regular Newport is such a shitty shoe, I'd advise everyone here to never buy them. Seeing Lakai turning it into a cupsole was a very pleasant surprise, and so far they perform MUCH better than normal Newports.

Tip for people looking to get these: these fit narrow as FUCK when you first wear then, but break them in for a few days and they'll do the signature Lakai loosening and the fit becomes much better. I'd say TTS.

If you have Lakai Manchester XLKs, these Newport XLKs feel like a less puffy version of the Manchester XLK.

picked up a pair of the green ones as well (I prefer the green colorway) and can confirm they are incredibly comfortable and TTS.

Got the royal ones because they were mad cheap, and I have to say it's one of the best fitting shoe adidas has made in a long time.

How do these fit? I wear a US 10.5 Suciu ADV and US 10.5 Superstar Pro, was interested in copping a black pair of Copa Nationale but they seem tight from the looks. Should I go a size down or the same?

I had the tyshawns before them and these fit longer than the tyshawn.....but only a bit! If you have a rather narrow foot you could go half size down otherwise i'd say TTS

This will be the last time I bring these up, so I'll post it here.
I'm currently skating counterfeit Dunk HI after 4 sessions. My main complaint is the fucking laces. But they came with 2 sets. Other than that, I'm impressed they didn't fall apart or tear up. IDK if the toe is supposed to wear how it is. I think it may be softer than what it's supposed to be, but I don't know. Board feel is fine. I was skating some #NB 212 and they're a vulc shoe that feels amazing, but for a standard cup, this is good. I've skated worse shoes that cost more. No holes and the stitching is holding up. $56. Tounge says nike dunk low

Thanks for the update, people sleep on fakes. But these have held up pretty well. May see me at my local with some "off white" dunks or something soon

Best shoes out. Great flex and cushioning. No foot pain after a session.

Damn the grey really does look good there, with the red covered by pants.

Some K3-esque eS Evants on right now 8) I like them and the sole actually grows on you if you weren't feeling it at first. They are mad comfy! (1/2 size up for anyone interested)
They just dropped a couple more colorways on the site, including an all black one, which helps hide the sole  ;)

I've been skating the white pair too, but mine have a blue insole. Did you swap the green ones in?

Bought these Cons Academy highs at a shop yard sale thing this weekend and have em a shot this morning. They felt great, good board feel and my ankles feel safe.

His white pair are samples that’s why they have the green insole.

Really impressed with the quality. Not sure if I'll skate them just yet but they feel like they'd be great.

Maybe biased because I've had the best few sessions I've had in a long time in these but wow. Gives me a reason to check the puma outlets near me which is a sentence I never thought in my life I would write out. Some low leather lows in white I had took a beating as well before these.

First DC's I've had since around 2004(?) when I skated a pair of Ryan Smith's.

Kalis vulc. Surprisingly comfortable, although I did swap in an Emerica G6 insole. I've been on strictly cupsole shoes for skating the last 10 years or so, but with the G6 insole these feel like they'd be pretty good. Really stoked on how they look.

No. They are retail version. I only wear the white ones as chillers. Yeah, I swapped the insole for green on the white leather pair. The OG color of the insoles are blue.

I skate in FP game changer insoles so I never use stock insoles in skate shoes.

These came quick. Quality on the sole feels much better than a regular blazer , much better than a normal GT
