Lakai Manchester Men's Low-Top Skate Shoes, Vulcanized Skateboard Sneakers

The Lakai Manchester is the low-profile option in the Lakai line - a slim, lightweight low-top for skaters who want as little material as possible between their foot and the board. The upper uses a minimal panel layout. Fewer panels means fewer seams to split, and the shoe breaks in faster than a heavily-constructed skate shoe. The flexible rubber outsole is cut for traction and quick flick without feeling sticky. A cushioned insole handles impact from landings while keeping the stack height low, so you keep the board feel the silhouette is built around. The low-top cut leaves the ankle free for flip tricks. Good for: technical street skating, flip tricks, ledges and flat ground, cruising, and everyday wear. Standard US men's sizing, cut slim through the foot. Lakai is a skater-owned footwear brand.

• Low-Profile Build: The Manchester is cut low and lean, so there is very little material between your foot and the deck - which is what skaters mean when they talk about board feel.
• Abrasion-Resistant Upper: The Glacier Grey White upper uses a deliberately minimal panel layout, which means fewer seams to split and a quicker break-in.
• Grippy Rubber Tread: The flexible rubber outsole is cut for traction and quick flick, holding its grip on concrete, skatepark surfaces, and painted ledges without feeling sticky or slow underfoot.
• Cushioned Where It Counts: A cushioned insole absorbs impact from landings while keeping the overall stack low, so you get protection on drops without losing the board feel a thin shoe is supposed to give you.
• Lightweight for Long Sessions: The low-profile build keeps overall weight down, which makes a real difference over a two-hour session, a long walk, or a day spent on your feet moving around a city.
