Japanese top-seeded amateur skateboarder Kyonosuke Yamashita has finally landed a new opportunity to ride for one of the best core skate shoes in the business. Lakai Footwear officially welcomes the 18-year-old to the family.
"Kyo has been skating flow for us in Japan since he was a little kid." Lakai wrote. "In 2018 we took a trip to Tokyo, and at the age of 13 he skated a demo with us."
They added. "We knew he had it. Fast forward 4 years, and we are stoked to officially welcome him to the family. Keep your eyes peeled for lots more to come from young Kyonosuke."
After spearheading and showcasing Yamashita's skills and abilities in the Battle At The Berrics 12 contest, many-core skate companies are now eyeing his talent. He may instantly receive a promotion as a professional skateboarder soon.
Congratulations to Yamashita for another victory as the newest rider for Lakai.
