Mike talks about the birth of Lakai and resurrecting The Staple.
The Lakai Staple was originally released in 2001, and was an immediate team favorite. The Staple has been updated to today’s standards, and given colorways inspired by three of Lakai’s riders who made the originals look so good: Rick Howard, Marc Johnson, and Mike Carroll.
Once again the Lakai Staple has become an instant team favorite. Lakai riders were given the new Staple to test on a day in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles.

Mike Carroll and Sean Malto hand deliver artist Marcel Dzama his new Girl Skateboards Studio Series.
Known for working in a wide range of media, Marcel Dzama creates collages, dioramas and large-scale polyptychs that depict fanciful, anachronistic worlds full of humans, animals and hybrid creatures. His work, which looks like something you might stumble upon in an antique shop, has not only been published in McSweeney’s, the bible of David Egger’s generation of writers, but it has also appeared on the album covers of “The Else” by They Might Be Giants and “Guero” by Beck, as well as in the music videos for songs by Bob Dylan and the Department of Eagles, and now a set of Girl Skateboards.
The Girl Skateboard Company proudly presents the Studio Series, featuring an evolving group of internationally recognized contemporary artists. The selected works aim to expand upon the traditional expectations of skateboard art, by featuring artists more commonly associated with contemporary art galleries and museums. The Studio Series bridges the gap between skateboarding and some of our most creative friends.
Another one for the ages. Carroll, Ishod, Malto, Rickk, TNT, Brophy, Bledsoe, Puig and Gerwer thru Denmark and Germany.
Mike and Jake round it out with just about everything in the final episode for Weekend Buzz.
