Skate shoes are unusually cheap right now, and a few deals actually stand out
From a 59% Lakai drop to the Last Resort AB CM002 Mid at $84, here are the shoe deals worth your attention this Monday.
This week's price tracker is dominated by footwear, which isn't always exciting news, but a handful of these cuts are deep enough to actually matter. We're talking 40 to 59 percent off across brands that range from cult-classic IPath to newer players like Hours Is Yours and Last Resort AB. Most of these appear to be clearance-style reductions rather than short promotional windows, so they may hold for a bit, but they're worth moving on if anything below matches your setup.
Shoes: Lakai Mod — 59% off
The Lakai Mod is down to $35.00 from $85.37, which is a 59 percent drop and puts it among the cheapest name-brand skate shoes currently tracked on the site. Lakai has been a core skate shoe brand for decades, and the Mod sits in their lineup as a workhorse silhouette built around board feel with enough cushioning to survive longer sessions without beating up your feet. At full price it was a reasonable buy; at $35 it becomes hard to argue against picking up a backup pair.
This is the kind of shoe that suits street skaters who want something slim and functional without overthinking it. The price point also makes it low-risk if you skate hard enough to burn through soles quickly. At this discount, you're essentially getting a quality skate shoe at budget-brand pricing.
Shoes: IPath Cats Low — 52% off
The IPath Cats Low is sitting at $47.50, cut from $99.95 for a 52 percent reduction. IPath occupied a specific lane in skate footwear, leaning into minimal construction and a low-profile silhouette that kept things close to the board. The Cats Low in particular is a compact, no-frills design that doesn't load you down with unnecessary padding, which makes it a natural fit for technical skating where you need to actually feel the deck.
IPath never had the mass-market footprint of a DC or Emerica, which means these don't turn up everywhere. If you've been curious about the brand or you skated them in an earlier era and want to revisit, half price is a reasonable entry point. The durability-focused construction means they should hold up through regular use even at this price level.
Shoes: Asics Japan Pro MT — 40% off
The Asics Japan Pro MT at $69.00, down from $114.95, is probably the most interesting product in this batch from a category standpoint. Asics is not a legacy skate brand, but the Japan Pro MT is built as a genuine skate shoe with low-profile construction, minimal padding, and a direct board feel that the context describes as rooted in Japanese manufacturing quality. That combination of Asics' build standards applied to a skate-specific silhouette makes it a genuinely different option compared to the usual lineup.
At 40 percent off and landing under $70, it's worth considering if you've been skating the same two or three brands on rotation and want to try something that approaches shoe construction from a different angle. The lightweight, low-profile spec means this is pointed at skaters who prioritize feel and precision over impact protection, so keep that in mind if you're doing a lot of heavy-impact stuff.
Shoes: Last Resort AB CM002 Mid — 30% off
The Last Resort AB CM002 Mid is down 30 percent to $84.00 from $119.95. Last Resort AB is a relatively young brand that came up with a lot of credibility behind it, and the CM002 Mid reflects their general approach: functional, stripped-down design that prioritizes durability and board control without chasing trends or loading the shoe with unnecessary tech. The mid-cut construction gives you a bit more ankle structure than a low without turning into a high-top.
Thirty percent off a Last Resort AB shoe is a solid find given how rarely this brand discounts. At $84 you're still in mid-range territory, but you're getting a shoe that punches above its price in terms of build quality and brand ethos. If you've been on the fence about trying the brand, this is a better entry point than full retail.
Shoes: DC Court Graffik SE — 50% off
The DC Court Graffik SE is at $37.50, halved from $74.95. The Court Graffik is one of DC's most recognizable silhouettes and has been in rotation long enough to be considered a genuine classic in the skate shoe canon. The SE designation typically marks a special edition run, though the specs here point to the same reliable support and grip that made the original a long-running staple for street and park skaters alike.
At $37.50 it's one of the lowest price points in this entire roundup and lands below what you'd pay for most no-name skate shoes. If you want a recognizable, proven design with enough support for everyday skating and you don't want to spend more than forty dollars, this is a straightforward answer to that question.
