Where the Wild Things Are was first published as a children's picture. The book was adapted into a film by Spike Jonze who is known for his unique vision.
The book has now gone from film to sneaker as skate brand Lakai has created a pack inspired by the film. The pack includes the Lakai Pico and Guy Hi, both built in grey suede and canvas with Where the Wild Things Are graphics.
You can pick up both sneakers at shops that carry Lakai, such as UK based Flatspot.
Here are three new releases from Lakai limited Footwear.
Mike Carrolls sneaker, the Carroll Select Hi, comes with a mix of black suede and nubuck on the upper with white vulcanized sole and white logo on the side panel.
A bit more powerful in terms of color is the Guy Mariano Hi which has a red suede upper with structured leather towards the back. The grey and black hits add up to the overall look pretty well.
Last but not least is the lowtop Manchester Select. Again a bit more of purist designed this sneaker comes with brown suede for the upper, white sole, black sockliner and orange hits on the back and tongue.
All three are available at select Lakai retailers and at Stil-Laden.
Pro skater Mike Sun will next year get his very own pro model sneaker with Lakai Limited Footwear. However Lakai has just released the "Mo Knows" Pack for Sun, which includes the Manchester Select in black suede with red accents and the Commerce LK in black suede and teal accents.
Vienna based Stil Laden has the Manchester in stock.
