Lakai – Manchester Select (Mo Knows)

Apparently Mike Mo knows shit. Now I’m not saying he doesn’t, but I know shit too, we all know shit, what I really want to know is what does Mo know that others don’t know for him to deserve this amazing title…does Mo Know the answer to this?!

The first Manchester shoe has always had a solid place in my top 5 skate shoes of all times, they were amazing! They are very hard to find these days, but all’s not lost, the Manchester Select is basically a vulc version of its predecessor. The shoe is still very thin and the durable form-fitting suede allows you a certain degree of board feel that only the Manchester can offer! Unlike the Man 1’s, these have shock absorbing insoles and as mentioned before, they come with the ever popular and extremely flexible vulcanized sole. This of course makes the shoe a bit heavier, but you know what, it doesn’t affect the shoe in any way!

Mo Knows what he likes I guess and I can see why these work for him. I have to say I’ve not managed to do a fakie murder flip 5-0 fakie murder out, but I’m sure Mo Knows this is possible, perhaps one day we’ll see one and then we can all say…see, I told you “Mo Fucking Knows Yo”!

Check these out if you like vulc shoes with major board feel, thin construction and tougher than Stu Graham!
