    These were one of the first pairs of shoes I got when I got back into skating not too long ago and they’re still in my top 3 in terms of skating shoes. I even landed my first kickflip in them because the flick on it was so good! And they were comfy as hell the outsole insole combo is the reason I was able to skate after an Achilles injuries so many good memories with this shoe!

      Hey wow, these were my first pair of skate shoes after not skating for 17-18 years. I really liked them too. I also got a pair of Atlantics that were awesome as well. I would definitely buy another pair of those and these.

      @@crkrcksteady the Atlantic is Vincent’s pro shoe, right? Always loved his approach to skating. My local had a grip of Lakai, éS, and Emerica drop for the new season. The quality difference of today’s Lakai models versus the Flare era are night and day.
      Regardless, I landed my first kickflips in Mike Mo’s pro shoe. They were barely around before he left for DC. But god damn, the combo of flick, comfort, impact protection, and boardfeel puts them right up with the DC Mike Mo and Etnies Marana for being tough as nails while feeling perfect for a cupsole model.

    These shoes are seriously some of my favorite shoes I’ve skated. The only problem I had was durability. By the end of the third week I had started to get through the out sole fully and had a blowout on my right shoe. Granted, I go through shoes very quickly, but even something like the Michelin maranas from etnies last me almost two months

    I've been skating for 20+ the cambridge is definitely one of my favorite sk8 shoes of all time.
    Solid, long lasting comfort, with a look that bridges the gap between old school and new.
    As for the fakie inwardheel; it's just you. I'm a heel flipper and I love this shoe. Never had a problem with any of my heel tricks.

      Just talked about this with my buddy last night. I will take a brand new shoe and rub the toe of the shoe (where I typically flip the board) across grip tape several times to get that nice transition. It kind of hurts knowing that I'm taking away several skate-sessions away from the longevity of the shoe, but my flip tricks are too grippy and hard to get a consistent flip with thst defined, new edge.

  • @matthewayres1104
    @matthewayres1104 3 роки тому +6

    I skate Lakai pretty regularly and it seems that the low ankle protection is a pretty common issue in a lot of their shoes. I’ve even managed to bust my ankle open from my ankle making contact with the nose / grip over and over. It’s annoying, but I still like all the other aspects of their shoes. Next up on my list to buy from them are some high tops 😂.

Mid top design so it gave my scabbed up ankle some time to heal 😂. I think you should give them a try, they are incredibly durable. I’ve got about 5 months on them and they are holding up well.

    10/10 review. And, there aren’t any dislikes. Hell yeah, man. I’d love to see a mid version of these puppers. Also, you’re more chilled out and better articulated than other videos. Love the vibe of the entirety of the review. Keep up the amazing work!

    i love the cambridge shoe, but i agree about the low heel collar area, i also would add one of the loops on the heel to help put on the shoe. I like the way the shoes feel on my feet, and i find them very aesthetically pleasing. I completely agree with literally everything you said in this video XD
