The Black Gator Gold colorway pairs a black upper with gold accents and gator-textured detailing for a shoe that stands out without being loud. Classic material blocking and functional tech paneling allow for maximum breathability right out of the box with zero break-in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat sets the Essex apart is the one-piece toe design fused with 3D printed lateral texture — adding durability exactly where your shoe takes the most abuse. The dual purpose eye-stay construction uses lace-saving tech that reduces material build-up around the lacing area for a cleaner, lower-profile fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe PARA-MOUNT™ outsole uses dual density rubber that delivers cushioning rivaling a cupsole while keeping the flexibility of a vulc. Each hex pod in the tread moves independently for 360-degree flexibility and maximum board feel. The DELUX-LITE™ sockliner is designed with a deep heel cup for stability and contoured arch for all-day comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlack Gator Gold colorway with textured detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOne-piece toe design with 3D printed lateral texture for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDual purpose eye-stay with lace-saving construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInstant break-in — comfortable right out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePARA-MOUNT™ dual density vulcanized outsole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHex-tread pattern with independent pods for board feel and grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDELUX-LITE™ sockliner with deep heel cup and contoured arch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaximum breathability through functional tech paneling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Lakai:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lakai Limited Footwear was founded in 1999 by pro skateboarders Mike Carroll and Rick Howard — the same duo behind Girl Skateboards. After 25 years as one of skateboarding's most respected independent shoe brands, Lakai entered a new chapter in 2024 under fresh ownership with pro skater and content creator Luis Mora as co-owner, keeping the brand skater-owned and rooted in the culture. From its origins to today, Lakai's mission has stayed the same: shoes designed by skaters, for skaters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LAKAI","offers":[{"title":"9","offer_id":44990764679304,"sku":null,"price":92.16,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":44990764712072,"sku":null,"price":92.16,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":44990764744840,"sku":null,"price":92.16,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":44990764777608,"sku":null,"price":92.16,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0368\/9876\/6984\/files\/lakai-essex-skate-shoe-in-black-gator-gold-vulcanized-with-3d-printed-texture-and-para-mou_normalized_preview.jpg?v=1779292858","url":"https:\/\/parksideskateshop.com\/en-ca\/products\/lakai-essex-skate-shoe-in-black-gator-gold-vulcanized-with-3d-printed-texture-and-para-mount%e2%84%a2-outsole","provider":"Parkside Skateshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
