Construction still looks cheap as fuck.
Butt, it is "skater owned"... So let's cream our pants.
You're trying way too hard to be edgy (or whatever the fuck you're going for). The construction on every pair of Lakais I've had (especially the cuspoles) was superb. It probably wouldn't hurt to learn what the fuck you're talking about before you run your mouth.
I can't wait to try the new Guy shoe.
Really? Thanks for your expert analysis.
... I think my first pair of Lakai were these (in a different colourway)
They were actually tough as fuck, but, quite expensive.
2 or 3 years on from that I skated Lakai loads for a few years, because they were really,really cheap. Then I realised they were lasting about half the lifespan of most shoes and they weren't half the cost. Last few pairs, I just burnt through...
Now, when I see Lakai/Girl stuff in general, it just seems cheaply made to me.
Granted, I haven't bought any of their "new factory" stuff. But, a shop I was in the other day has them for $600 (HK) for any 2 pairs, cheaper than one pair of other shoes. I had a look, but they still looked pretty crap.
Sorry for making a judgement based on years of experience.
