Preferring the security of MJ’s high top, but appreciating the simple aesthetic of the Howard Select, Carroll was quick to solve one of his longstanding dilemmas by morphing both shoes to create this Howard High Top. He even threw the flare on the side, once again flexing his marketing genius as well as significantly bolstering retail brand recognition with one simple move. Finally, Lakaitning™ sole construction makes this one of the lightest high tops in the biz, certifying it as a “Carrollsend” for sufferers of chronic ankle soreness worldwide.
