Aside from using “Head Banger” in The Flare last year, there was zero foreshadowing of Lakai’s upcoming EPMD collaboration. While Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith may not be the first rap group that you think of when connecting music to skateboarding, they do have 15 solid video hits on skatevideosite.com‘s song search, many of them classics. The duo’s first appearance in Underworld Element’s Skypager [1993] is enough to cement their legacy in skating. No word on an official release date for this as of yet. But we’re excited about it none-the-less. Have a look at the Instagram tease below.

UPDATE 12.17.18: This collaboration wouldn’t be complete without a skate edit set to an EMPD track. Griffin Gass handles business (pun intended) to “I’m Housin'” off Strictly Business below.

UPDATE 12.10.18: EPMD is hosting a release party in Los Angeles for its new Lakai collaboration on Wednesday. Check out the details and additional product images below.

UPDATE 12.04.18: The below closer look at Lakai’s upcoming EPMD collaboration highlights the fact that it’s centered around the Strictly Business album from 1988, which makes it an instant classic in our book. We’ll continue to update as more details emerge.

Etnies dropped “The Aurelien“, the first pro model shoe of Aurélien Giraud.

Aurélien’s pro shoe model is available in three colorways, grey/light grey, tan/white, and black/white.

These shoes have an STI Performance Level 1 insole, System Flo2 for air circulation, a hidden toe cap for longevity, elastic tongue straps for a secure fit, a rubber outsole for durability and grip, and padded tongue and collar lining for comfort.

Aurélien designed and tested the model to meet the demands of his high-impact skateboarding.

At the age of 6, Aurélien won the V7 Teenage Tour, but it was not until he won the Tampa AM in 2015 that he gained recognition from the worldwide skateboarding community. He represented France in the 2020 Summer Olympics. He joined the Etnies team last year.
