CARLISLE AIKENS shows what it REALLY takes to make a LIVING as a PRO SKATEBOARDER | Diaries

Carlisle Aikens Never Thought He'd Be a Pro Skater - or a Model. For the latest segment of 'Hypebeast Diaries' the skater and model reflects on his rising career, while already pondering “what’s next?” Carlisle Aikens often wonders “why the f*ck am I here?” finding himself in intimate settings with Rihanna and A$AP Rocky or backstage with Pharrell and Brent Faiyaz. “I’m a grown a** man on a skateboard,” the 24-year-old laughs.
Aikens signed with Next Management a little over two years ago, cementing his commitment to modeling, and contributing to a larger amalgamation of the skate world with the high-fashion ether. Now, Aikens doubles as a devoted skater and a prominent face in the fashion space, and for the latest episode, he showed us just how he does it.

You guys did such a great job capturing that what it REALLY takes to make a LIVING as a pro skater is to get a modeling contract.

[@colemanwilliams8717]

nah word i laughed looking at who the skater was LOL

[@chillen9109]

he’s more of a model than a skater, should’ve gotten someone like louie

[@sadboiindigogaming124]

@@chillen9109he still is a pro skater and is good asf and Louie is definitely in a different dimension though

[@namcox40]

For real, it seems with all these skater model videos they focus only on the fashion shit, I mean makes sense though it’s called HYPEBEAST

[@mauhuff]

@@colemanwilliams8717why’d you laugh Carl is valid asf. Dope skater.

Good dude 🍻

[@andygreatfield]

Fool said grown ass man? He's 24. There's a lot of growing yet to do yet. Probably won't figure that out until the modeling career dries up. Until the high fashion quasi skate trend disappears from popularity. Any fkn day now please Lord help us.

[@luckymanham302]

@@sadboiindigogaming124 thank you for letting me know. If he’s on Chocolate, he must be a real one.

[@theatangle]

Big Sean a skater now ?

[@ohsnowball9486]

He should skate for like hopps or something chocolate deserves better

[@drids.]

His skating style seems really forced. Almost like a fake steez. He seems to be a good person though, that’s all that really matters to me.

YOU CAN TELL WHEN SOMEONE CHANGED STYLES ITS BIG IN SKATEBOARDING COMMUNITY #BEYALLSELFS

[@crimnvL]

its a business nigga

[@johnharrison3719]

@adidasskateboarding @PeteEldridge sir , i would like to nominate @CarlisleAikens for the next adidas superstar pro high colorway. This young man has inspired all of us with his skateboarding, remember the pandemic and who was out there still putting in work , this young man held it down and represented skateboarding so well during a pandemic that Chocolate gave him a pro model, so please consider this guy he deserves it. What happened to HosePeeters he was killing it in the pandemic too. ❤❤
