Lakai is a footwear company based in Torrance, California that creates shoes designed for and inspired by skateboarding. Lakai was founded by professional skateboarders and Girl Skateboards co-founders Mike Carroll and Rick Howard in 1999. The company was formed after both riders left DC Shoes. On May 1, 2006, Eric Koston officially signed with Lakai after leaving éS Footwear at the end of 2005 after choosing not to renew his contract when éS owners Pierre André and Don Brown declined to give Koston part ownership in the company.http://www.twsbiz.com/twbiz/features/article/0,21214,1190200,00.html Lakai will release two Koston pro model shoes in the 4th quarter of 2006.
