The Lakai Staple was originally released in 2001, and was an immediate team favorite. The Staple has been updated to today's standards, and given colorways inspired by three of Lakai's riders who made the originals look so good: Rick Howard, Marc Johnson, and Mike Carroll.

Once again the Lakai Staple has become an instant team favorite. Lakai riders Rick Howard, Marc Johnson, Mike Carroll, Vincent Alvarez, Sebo Walker, Jon Sciano, Yonnie Cruz, and Tyler "Manchild" Pacheco were given the new Staple to test on a day in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles.
