Lakai just dropped a new XLK shoe - the Pacer. Looks like a redesigned and beefed up Howard Lo.

I watched a sample pair of these tear right over the lakai logo, I'll go look in the trash to see if I can get a better picture.

I think the $75 price tag is a little aggressive for this shoe. But that's just my opinion.

the sole is a little aggro as well....gross

Loving my MJ's, I've gotten 3 pairs in a row.

Hated these joints though, they died after a session and a half.

I tear all of my shoes in that exact same spot from heelflips

ill_Murray · « **Reply #605 on:** April 16, 2015, 01:01:42 PM »

^ I haven't done a regular heelflip in years, this hasn't happened to any other shoes for me.

Uinta High · « **Reply #606 on:** April 16, 2015, 02:54:47 PM »

Ill_Murray - that's crazy! What an odd place to have all that wear without heel flipping. I am kind of torn too on this shoe. And like Heritage posted, sort of looks like an updated Rick model shoe.

My Camby Mid (I posted last page) I just turned to pure dust. Shredded them to nothing over 3 or 4 sessions. But it was on a brand new board with a fresh sheet of griptape and they are also canvas so I didn't expect much.

I was hyped for this shoe but after seeing them on feet the other day i think i'll pass... They were all deformed and looked like a potato, i didnt like the shape of the toe too at all (it looked too roomy). Oh and they remember me this in those photos:

oyolar · « **Reply #608 on:** April 16, 2015, 04:14:00 PM »

To be fair, those were only samples so they could be better now.

And I don't know if I would really call those dead. Although they do look pretty beat for a couple hours.

I think that's the biggest thing to remember here for sure.

The damage to the shoe outer was annoying but the whole shoe warped out of shape.

oyolar · « **Reply #610 on:** April 16, 2015, 08:45:54 PM »

Ah, warping that fast is a huge problem. I don't tear through shoes fast, so I've dealt with them warping out of shape mainly and it's the worst.

yatallfreak · « **Reply #611 on:** April 16, 2015, 11:00:15 PM »

Those new Owens with the hyperscreen on the toe look so good that feels like such a huge improvement cause it looks even better and should skate even better. Have been wanting to get some Lakais lately definitely gonna wait for those to come out

Those brown slipons are sweet.

I have a pair that I wear around and I'll skate them if I'm just headed to the store or something but they feel pretty flimsy.

On the other hand I've seen this dude skating like 3-4 pairs of them in a row lately so they can't be too bad.

They're super comfortable and fit a half a size big for me.

HASHTAG · « **Reply #616 on:** April 23, 2015, 08:38:46 AM »

I got myself a pair of the Owen. Never skated a slip-on. Could skate them right away, no breaking them in or anything. I didn't skate in them for more than a few days because I realized I wasn't a fan of slip ons. It feels weird looking down and not having laces or anything.

how do they fit? Are they really snug or do they slip around a bit because theres no laces?

Has anyone had any luck contacting Lakai about a defective pair of shoes?

I had a problem with a pair of Carlo's where the pad in the heel kept moving around, like it wasn't glued to the insole. Contacted them, they got my info and address and everything, then nothing. Ended up tearing the things out and throwing some Dr. schools in. I haven't bought a pair of Lakais since.

They're very snug, I'd say. I like the fit way more on the Owen over the Vans Slip-On.

Randozzi · « **Reply #620 on:** April 23, 2015, 07:19:09 PM »

Owens fit a half size big, normally skate 9.5 but the 9s fit perfect.
Really like the pair i had. First pair of slip-ons and i dug 'em.
But, as other said they are thin.

yatallfreak · « **Reply #621 on:** April 23, 2015, 08:10:15 PM »

Anyone try the Fura or Parker?

Durndle · « **Reply #622 on:** April 23, 2015, 10:11:53 PM »

just a word of advice for the Griffins, buy a half size up they run small.
anyone find manchesters cheap online? all the ones I've seen are from the old factory in china and I'm worried they're going to be defective like they were 4 years ago

Just skated two pairs of the jon sciano anchor Fura, really enjoyed em. if you're tough on shoes then shoe-goo the stitching around the ollie part because if that comes apart it makes a gap between the toe cap/tongue and the sidewall and makes the fit of the shoe feel terrible.

I skated a pair of the olive furas when they first introduced the shoe and i didn't like them, the sole felt too heavy and the suedes stretched out too much. With every new drop of a shoes i can see small improvements in quality.

snaked plissken · « **Reply #624 on:** April 27, 2015, 06:26:33 AM »

The owens are some of the best shoes i've skated. I mean, i've only skated them for about 6-8 hours so far but they still look untouched. awesome!

The Riley pro models look really nice. There are a lot of tasteful details

Randozzi · « **Reply #627 on:** April 29, 2015, 03:49:15 PM »

Agreed, at first i wasn't too keen on it but the more i look at it the more i like it.

oyolar · « **Reply #628 on:** April 29, 2015, 05:19:07 PM »

I know people were stoked on the Lakai X DQM Owens, so here's a link to order them from Uprise in Chicago if you can't get them at your local shop: http://www.upriseskateboards.com/product_detail.cfm?CatID=2&PID=11572

I think you get free shipping if you spend more than $75. These are slightly under that, but maybe with tax you can still get it?
