The Lakai Telford Low Roman Hager is a Special Edition that reinterprets one of Lakai’s most structured silhouettes through the personal vision of the rider. This is more than a color update. The Wild Dove Pewter Suede upper, Black Gum outsole, embossed “Hager” heel detail, and custom leopard-pattern insole create a model with strong narrative identity. Despite its distinctive aesthetic direction, the technical foundation remains uncompromising. Built specifically for skateboarding, the Telford Low delivers structural stability, durability, and controlled performance in a timeless low-profile silhouette designed to handle demanding sessions.
Performance
At its core is Lakai’s durable XLK cupsole, engineered for impact absorption and long-term structural support. The signature “pod” tread pattern enhances grip consistency and board contact, promoting stable control during technical maneuvers. Compared to vulcanized constructions, the cupsole build provides increased lateral stability and impact protection, ideal for repeated landings and high-impact skating. Despite its supportive structure, the shoe remains lightweight and flexible, offering comfort straight out of the box.
Functional Construction
The Wild Dove Pewter Suede upper reinforces high-wear zones for abrasion resistance under real skate conditions. The Black Gum outsole complements the design while maintaining reliable traction. The embossed “Hager” branding at the heel adds exclusive identity without compromising structural integrity. The low silhouette supports natural mobility and board control, while the overall construction balances durability, support, and long-term comfort.
Technology Applied to Performance
The XLK cupsole is designed to optimize durability and absorb repeated impact while maintaining structural stability. The pod tread configuration improves pressure distribution and grip consistency against grip tape. Together, these elements create a balanced setup that merges protection, control, and responsive boardfeel for demanding skate sessions.
