In 1999 Professional skateboarders Mike Carroll and Rick Howard introduced Lakai Limited Footwear and started to make waves within the skate shoe world. They started with the intention of making skateboarding shoes, not basketball shoes disguised as skate shoes. Maybe that is why Eric Koston joined back up with his friends at Lakai or maybe it is the company slogan...the shoes we skate. I do not know what it is but they have sick looking shoes this season and they are only getting better.
