Vincent Alvarez on Lakai

After working on the skateboard brands Girl and Chocolate skateboarders Mike Carroll and Rick Howard formed Lakai Footwear. Lakai was to follow in the footsteps of Girl and Chocolate and whilst creating skateboard product create an environment that would motivate and support skateboarding. Lakai may not be a brand that immediately springs to mind but they have been running since 1999 and within the skateboarding fraternity they are well respected and produce some of the best shoes around. Here at sturban clothing we are not doing the shoes but willing to support core companies we are stocking a few select Lakai t-shirts for your buying pleasure.

Torey Pudwill, Mike Capaldi and Matix Clothing

Matix Clothing are super psyched to announce two new Am additions to its Team, Mike ”Mo” Capaldi and Torey Pudwill.


Mike “Mo” Capaldi grew up in Simi Valley, CA. Born in 1990, Mikemo started shredding when he was 9, after riding his brother Vince’s board around the ol’ garage. Mikemo advanced rapidly and 6 years later is riding for Girl Skateboards, Lakai footwear, Matix clothing, Royal trucks, Mob grip, Filmore wheels, Diamond accessories, IG Boardshop and Skatelab.


Torey Pudwill, aka T-Pudz, was born in West Hills, CA and transplanted to Simi Valley not long afterwards, this shredder began winning C.A.S.L. contests at the age of 11. Since then Torey has combined his tranny skills and street knowledge to a whole new level. Torey spends most his time shredding with Matix team rider Mike Taylor, Scuba Steve, Giovanni Reda, and Matix flow rider Lamar Hemmings.
