Lakai

Lakai is a Torrance, California based footwear manufacturer that creates shoes designed specifically for skateboarding. Professional skateboarders (and Girl Skateboards co-founders) Mike Carroll and Rick Howard founded Lakai in 1999, adopting the name from a shortened version of a nickname Mike Carroll was partial to at the time (it’s a long, tricky story, so we’ll spare you the details).
