Skate shoes are stacking up deals right now, led by some deep cuts
From a 59% Lakai markdown to a Beetlejuice collab deck at 27% off, here are the five price drops worth paying attention to this Monday.
This week's recap is almost entirely shoes, which makes sense given where we are in the calendar. Summer stock rotations push shops to move older colorways and models fast, and the numbers reflect that. The deepest cut on the list is nearly 60% off, which is the kind of discount that usually means a model is being retired rather than just going on sale. A few decks snuck into the mix too, including a collab worth mentioning for reasons beyond the graphic.
Shoes: Lakai Mod — 59% off
The Lakai Mod is down to $35 from $85.37, a 59% drop that puts it at the kind of price where you buy a backup pair without thinking too hard. Lakai has been making skate shoes long enough that their construction philosophy is well established: relatively thin, boardfeel-forward builds that appeal to technical street skaters. The Mod name implies a lower-profile silhouette in line with that tradition.
At $35 flat, this is essentially a clearance price. If the sizing works for you, the math is simple. Shoes in this price bracket from a brand with Lakai's skate-specific history are rare, and this kind of markdown usually signals the model is being phased out rather than restocked.
Shoes: Adidas Copa Premiere — 56% off
The Adidas Copa Premiere lands at $35 as well, down from $79.55, a 56% discount. The Copa name comes from Adidas's soccer heritage, and the skateboarding version of that silhouette typically carries over the clean, low-profile leather upper that made the original a crossover favorite in skate. Copa-lineage skate shoes tend to be slim and cupsole-adjacent in feel, with minimal bulk.
The appeal here is obvious for anyone who prefers a cleaner look on the board without paying a premium for it. At $35 from a brand with real distribution infrastructure, this is a no-brainer if it fits your foot shape.
Shoes: Emerica Wino G6 Slip-On — 40% off
The Emerica Wino G6 Slip-On drops to $44.95 from $74.92, a 40% reduction. The Wino series has been Emerica's go-to for skaters who want a stripped-down, lightweight shoe with good boardfeel. The G6 designation refers to Emerica's sixth-generation cupsole construction, which the brand has refined over years of input from their team. A slip-on version of that platform means you are getting the sole technology without a lace system, which some skaters prefer for low-to-the-ground feel and quick on-off.
Cupsole slip-ons are a specific tool. They suit skaters who skate a lot of flatground and low-impact street, where the sole responsiveness matters more than ankle support. The G6 sole has a solid track record, and $44.95 for that underfoot quality is a legitimate value.
Decks: Welcome Beetlejuice x Showtime 8.5" — 27% off
The Welcome BEETLEJUICE x Welcome Showtime on Popsicle in Black/Purple Dip at 8.5" is at $55 from $75, a 27% drop. Welcome has built a consistent reputation for collab graphics done with real care rather than slapped-on licensing, and the Beetlejuice partnership fits their aesthetic: weird, maximalist, visually dense. The 8.5" popsicle shape is versatile enough for street or park without committing to a full wide format.
The practical side is that 8.5" works for a wide range of skaters, particularly anyone who skates transition mixed with street and wants a little extra platform underfoot. At $55 the price is competitive with standard catalog decks, and you are getting a graphic that will not look like everyone else's setup at your local spot.
Bearings: Quantum Metallics Grey Reds — 27% off
The Quantum Metallics Bearings in Grey Reds come down to $32.95 from $44.95, a 27% cut. Steel construction with a Reds-grade rating puts these squarely in the mid-tier bearing category, which is the range most skaters actually live in. Reds-spec bearings are known for a reliable break-in period and consistent roll without the maintenance demands of open ceramic bearings.
Bearings are a consumable. They get wet, they get dirty, and eventually they need replacing. Stocking up on a mid-tier steel bearing at a discount is exactly the kind of practical move that saves you money over the course of a year. $32.95 for a set with this spec profile is a reasonable price to pay for peace of mind on fresh hardware.
