LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, as the search for the perfect gift kicks into high gear, LAKAI and Black Sabbath dropped a surprise capsule collection inspired by Riley Hawk and the infamous heavy metal band’s albums, Master of Reality, Never Say Die! and We Sold Our Soul for Rock ‘n’ Roll. Paying homage to the iconic band through footwear, matching apparel pieces, accessories and a skateboard deck, the LAKAI x Black Sabbath collection is now available at retail stores and skate shops and on http://lakai.com/black-sabbath on December 11th.
Considered by many as the best metal album of all-time, Black Sabbath’s Master of Reality influenced Riley Hawk’s third LAKAI Pro model shoe and fans around the globe since its 1971 release. As Riley’s favorite band of all time, the LAKAI x Black Sabbath collection includes design cues of black, gradients, purple and imagery of the band. The LAKAI x Black Sabbath capsule also arrives in four distinct silhouettes: Telford, Owen VLK, Riley 3 and Newport HI.
As a notable wearable collector’s item, the live show imagery on the LAKAI Owen captures the energy of the concert fueled by Black Sabbath’s signature metal golden era.
From his early Shep Dawgs days to his various video parts for LAKAI and Baker, Riley Hawk continues to hold his own as skateboarding royalty. As an “all terrain” skater with a naturally relaxed style, Riley is notorious for shredding any spot or obstacle in his path.
The LAKAI x Black Sabbath collection ranges from $12 - $90. The collection is now available at local retailers and skate shops while supplies last.
