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.
