Lakai Q1 2023

[close]

Seeing how Crail is going strong on reviving Royal, I'm not surprised that Fourstar is next on their list (and that's good!).

Seeing those Mods, I can't help but think of these. Probably because of the toecap.

I'm a little surprised fourstar is up next. I thought they shut it down because it was mostly Koston and Mariano's thing and when they left Crail they cut all ties. (I think right when they left Mariano also stepped away from royal)

The only similarity between than Vans shoe and the Ishod is brown. What the fuck you all on about?

[close]

Looks pretty similar to me. But I wear glasses and I’m not a style icon like @Rafael and @Sk.A.T.A.N

What’s similar about it other than the colorway?

[Frank]

those zavahs look pretty good actually. i also don't get the ishod comparison. they look rather like club c/killshot/440 type shoe to me. it must be the colorway and -blocking. the paneling is pretty simple.

my comparison: they look like the lovechild between gilby lows and fairlanes

[pizzafliptofakie]

I feel like every couple pages there's a big battle about shoes that look too much alike because they're the same color and they're both shaped like something a human being would wear on their feet.

hahaha, yeah true.

100%.

Those Gillettes are so weird. I wonder how they look in black? Maybe better? They definitely seem unique to me. I actually thought they were a new Li-Ning model when I first saw them before I made the Globe connection.

You guys are so fucking annoying about resemblance stuff

[yourfuckingdad]

Ugh I thought we were done with this era. The telfords would be sick without the heel logo.

Cream Mod Cups are sick.

These ones make me think of what those k-swiss skate shoes would've looked like with that 3 piece toe
I don't know about durability though

Giving me wetsuit vibes

Lakais with the Lakussy

[hobochimp]

I just feel bad for lakai riders at this point. Like free shoes is cool and all, but that means you have to wear lakais

What is going on in that circle on the heel?   I thought it was a picture of a part of a strip of bacon

I got heavy Burger King logo vibes

Is Greg Lutzka now designing for Lakai to bring to life what was once suppose to be his K-Swiss pro model?

[lydius]

Mod Cup feels like a bloated take on the Puig. Why is the toe so bulbous

Best shoes on the page

[Doosh215]

There's Fourstar apparel in that catalog at the bottom too. This is hitting me right in the nostalgia. As soon as they come out I'm getting a pair of the fourstar Telford lows and a pair of these Flacco 2's.

[Doosh215]

I don't know why that posted so many times my bad

[TwisT]

I had those Mariano’s

Bring that era back. Bring back the Lakai race logo series too. And those ice creams with the beepers on them!

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Mod cup doesn’t look *that* bad, if any other shoe brand dropped it, half of you would be gagging over it! I’m all for more tech-inspired cupsoles so props to them for not trying only push generic vulcs on us in 2022

These look like 4ce shoes. That said, I don't hate them.

Just remember before you support nu4star that Koston and Mariano apparently got fucked by Crail over 4Star which was their thing

Def more of a Checkers / Rallys vibe for me.

Those do-over figgys look better than his second shoe, by far. I wonder if Emerica plan on doing G6 runs on other models, a Laced G6 would be cool.

the original laced on the g6 sole would be sick, the romero laced not so much

[fulfillthedream]

those new lakai's look interesting. i gotta give it to them for doing something different. i love hidden laces and wish it was more common. i recall around the early 2000s, a lot of eS DC Osiris had this feature.


 also is fourstar making a come back? they have the IG page up with no updates since 2018. I always liked the brand and still have a ton of there clothes.

True. The original laced had that piping detail that gave it a kind of charm. Even though it would blow out, I liked it. Something about them getting rid of that and slapping romero's name on them made me not want them anymore.

Laced OG6.
Then have a line of OG models upgraded to G6 soles.

But not like how es does it.

Even the boat shoe looked sick. Raymond Molinar made that shoe look so good.

Crazy the only dude still on CONS in that squad is Baca. Everyone else ate their own balls or poop or whatever.

KA too, i think? Hasnt he been on sporadically for like 20 years
