In 1993, Mike Carroll and Rick Howard thought they might have a better
formula for a skateboard company - one that made products the team would
be proud of and kept an atmosphere that was supportive and motivating.
While it was a risk, they felt like they owed it to skateboarding and
skateboarders to take that risk.
In 1999, facing a similar situation in respect to footwear, Mike and
Rick introduced Lakai Limited Footwear with the same dedication and
pride they have always invested into their skateboarding and the
Girl/Chocolate brands. Simply stated, they are “The Shoes We Skate”.
