The sneaker world is definitely a very competitive one although there are definitely certain areas that are much more competitive than others. Probably the most competitive would have to be the basketball shoes, although the skateboard sneaker companies have been known to be very competitive against each other as well. There are of course the few companies that really dominate the industry and then there are the ones that are trying their hardest to break through into their own fame. These smaller companies have been making use of the collaboration to help them to do just that and we are going to look at the latest example of that today. This is the new DQM x Lakai Pico Everyday Pack.

There will be three different shoes in total that make up this pack and they will include gray, navy and black. Suede and canvas will be used on the uppers.

While Lakai isn’t one of the shoes that we usually talk about when discussing skateboarding shoes, usually opting for shoes from Vans or the Nike SB line, that doesn’t take any credit away from the company. The fact is that Lakai has been releasing really nice looking skate shoes ever since the inception of the company and although they haven’t enjoyed as much success as some for the bigger players they are still a very worthy contender.

This new version of the shoe will feature a nice and colorful upper that will really help these shoes to stand out. The majority of the upper is sky blue color which is fitting because the bottom of the upper features a white, cloud-like design. The upper being made out of suede really adds a nice touch and a little bit of pink thrown in there as well adds a nice touch.

It’s too bad that these sneakers won’t ever see the light of day, with Eric Koston moving on from Lakai, but maybe you might be able to get your hands on some that will end up being very valuable later on. The 3 colorways were supposed to be red suede, black suede and tan/purple suede.

Lakai’s success in the skate shoe world is due to the fact that they keep it real to the true skateheads. They rely on good styles and not gimmicks to push their products.
