Welcome to Lakai Limited Footwear Spring 2008 Collection, your complete guide to
what we feel is one of our best collections ever! A tall claim? Sure, it may seem like one, but
read on and you’ll see there are many reasons for this unabashed excitement.

Reason number one, our Pro Dominion LE pack, which is by far one of our favorite series
we’ve put together to date. Instead of the traditional co-branding approach we’ve become
accustom to taking with pro LE’s in past seasons, what we’ve done this time around is apply
our “Dominion Series” framework to Koston, MJ, Carroll, Howard, Biebel and Mariano
pro styles to create what we’re dubbing our “premiere” series for Spring ’08. For those of
you unfamiliar with our “Dominion” shoes of old, the general premise is to apply some aspect
of a team rider’s life or personality to a preferred shoe by using specialized graphics,
applications and color ways. And as you will see on each Pro Dominion spread, we have
also merchandised a great deal of this season’s softgood and accessory offering with this
series. Lot’s of attention to detail with this stuff, so you might want to suck down a double
latte to bump your alertness up a notch before diving in.

Next on the docket is the introduction of our new “Recycled” category. We realize “New”
and “Recycled” is a complete oxymoron, so allow us to clarify. This new category will focus
on processing leftover / discarded upper materials and sole rubbers that would ordinarily
be considered factory waste for reuse on styles of our choosing each season. Although
this ultimately means that each and every shoe in the Recycled Program will likely never
be identical, it is our hope that your starting and continued support of this program will
allow us to help do our part in reducing global waste impact going forward. If the “green”
approach isn’t your thing, there’s also another way you can look at this – every single Recycled
shoe will be it’s own, one-of-a-kind, limited edition color way! It’s a win / win situation
for both shoe gurus and tree huggers alike!

And where would we ever be without Mike Carroll? In addition to skateboarding, Mike has a
unique outlook on just about everything, especially shoes. Almost always, what Mike envisions
as an ultimate shoe design becomes somewhat compromised by the time the finished
product hits the shelves. Not this season though! The name “What Would Carroll Do?” pretty
much says it all for this series – a Howard Select / MJ-3 hybrid, an OG Manchester and
his Carroll 4 – all done his way. Spring ’08 is your one-time opportunity to get renditions of
these three styles exactly how Mikey likes ‘em, so don’t blow the chance.

Although hard to believe, it doesn’t end there folks. We also have a new French Connection
pack, four new amazing styles, a new sole construction called Lakaitning™ that is sure to
get you buzzed, ridiculous amounts of recolors, and a softgood / accessory assortment
that completely fortifies this already unprecedented line. With this collection and the help
of this book, Spring 2008 is yours for the taking, but you’re no dummy so get out there and
do what you do! Thanks for your support.
