Lakai Howard High Top

To perfect his latest signature shoe, Mike Carroll jacked some cues from Lakai teammates Marc Johnson and Rick Howard’s kicks and incorporated them into one super skate shoe. This Howard High-Top model couples the superior ankle support in Johnson’s shoe with the understated aesthetic of the Howard Select. Carroll also threw in “Lakaitning,” a technology that reduces the weight of the shoe for all you lightweight riders. WWCD (What Would Carroll Do) can be seen on the tongues to represent Carroll’s involvement in the design, not to be confused with those W.W.J.D bracelets that the weird religious people—and Allen Iverson rock with on the regular.
