The Lakai Manchester Lean from the Fall/ Winter 2014-15 collection. This is the slimmed-down (Lean) version of the people's choice Manchester. While still retaining the classic Manchester silhouette the Lean has been stripped of some of its padding to give it a leaner more fitted feel & fit. Seriously low fat footwear! 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.
