The Lakai Griffin has become a firm-favourite with the Lakai team. This tastefully simple design has a seamless clean toe construction with perforation detail at the base of the tongue to increase breathability. Hidden midsole 'crating' adds an extra layer of shock absorbtion & the woven label on the tongue lends the finishing detail. Lakai is a Torrance California located skate shoe manufacturer that enjoys a rich history in skateboarding. Founded by professional skateboarders Mike Carroll & Rick Howard in 1999 Lakai is built on the dedication & pride they have always invested into their skateboarding & the Girl & Chocolate brands.
