In May 2004, the first ever co-brand shoe with Girl Skateboards is released, paving the way for several more notable collaborations. Among them, The Art Dump, Dominion, Wrench Pilot, The Quiet Life and Where the Wild Things Are Series. In May 2005, Guy Mariano joins Lakai after a long hiatus from skateboarding. Jesus Fernandez also joins the team, as well as Brits, Nick Jensen and Danny Brady, who were dubbed as The Royal Family. In September 2005, Alex Olson, son of veteran pro skateboarder Steve Olson, becomes Lakai's first amateur in almost five years. After months of speculation Eric Koston joins Lakai in May 2006.
