In 1993, Girl Skateboards was born when fellow skaters Mike Carroll and Rick Howard felt they had the right answers for a skateboard company. Their goal was to create products that the team would be proud to wear day in and day out as well as keep a positive environment conducive to success. This risk turned out to be a great reward. However six years later in 1999, the fledging duo took another step and filled a void in the skate footwear world with Lakai. The end result was a roster of shoes which embodied their "The Shoes We Skate" mantra.
A look at the 2007 Holiday Collection provides a glimpse of what Lakai has created for their latest collection. Within the releases, you will find some interesting concepts. The Strike Force Pack takes inspiration from within the World War fighter plane era. The Telford and Coda (an all new model) have been given a military inspired theme with the use of some interesting designs. Lakai also teamed up with the creative outlet The Quiet Life to produce a collaborative pair of Belmonts and MJ Selects which enabled The Quiet Life to display their creative direction. Other models previewed here included a collaboration with Blueprint Skateboards for skater Danny Brady with an all weather MJ-3 rounding out the styles. Check your local Lakai stockists as these should be available at shops soon.

One of Nike’s latest projects was the release of the Tech Pack. The Tech Pack embodied Nike’s mentality to continually innovate and push the boundaries. The Tech Pack featured more casual styles with the backing of their high-tech processes. All of the patchwork seen on this M65 was created seamless and allowed Nike to flex their technical prowess with their ultrasonic welding methods and taped back construction. The jacket itself also features minimal stitching. The finished product is an extremely functional 3 layer laminate jacket which has both waterproof and breathability qualities. This jacket is currently slated as only a friends and family exclusive.
