Shoe deals dominate this week, but two deck drops are worth your attention
Half-price DCs, 40%-off Emericas, and a pair of Polar p9 decks at $60 — here are the five deals actually worth clicking through on.
Most of this week's biggest drops are shoes, which makes sense given where we are in summer clearance cycles. A lot of what's listed is mid-tier stock moving out to make room, and the discounts are real enough that a few of them deserve a closer look. Two deck deals snuck into the top of the list as well, and at least one of them is interesting for reasons beyond the price.
Shoes: DC Court Graffik SE — 50% off
The DC Court Graffik SE is sitting at $37.50, down from $74.95. That is a 50% cut on a shoe that DC has been building variations of for a long time. The Court Graffik line has a reputation as a workhorse, nothing flashy, reliable board feel, adequate support for street use. At full price it competes fine. At $37.50 it is genuinely hard to argue against buying a pair as a backup or a beater.
This is the kind of shoe you buy when you know you are going to be skating rough concrete for the next few months and you do not want to destroy something you actually care about. The price here removes most of the hesitation. If your size is available, this is the most straightforward decision on the list.
Shoes: Emerica OG-1 — 40% off
The Emerica OG-1 is down to $56.95 from $94.92, which puts it at 40% off. Emerica has a long track record of building shoes that prioritize board feel and durability over lifestyle aesthetics, and the OG-1 sits squarely in that tradition. The name signals exactly what it is: a clean, proven silhouette without a lot of added bulk. That matters if you skate a lot of flat ground or ledge work where feedback from the board actually changes what you do.
At $56.95 this lands in a range where it is competing with budget options that do not perform as well, which shifts the value calculus considerably. If you have been skating something thicker or more padded and you want to try a more responsive shoe without spending full retail on it, this is a reasonable entry point into what Emerica does.
Shoes: Last Resort AB CM002 — 30% off
The Last Resort AB CM002 dropped to $73.95 from $105.64. Last Resort AB came out of the gate with a clear design philosophy: minimal construction, technical focus, nothing on the shoe that does not need to be there. The CM002 follows that logic. It is built for skaters who want to feel the board, not skaters who want protection from it.
Thirty percent off still leaves this as the most expensive shoe on the list, which means it is not the deal for everyone. But if you were already considering a Last Resort AB shoe and the original price was the sticking point, this is the window. The brand's positioning in the technical street space is legit, and $73.95 for what they are making is meaningfully better than $105.
Decks: Polar Skate Co. p9 construction — 33% off
Both the Polar Skate Co. Klez Zawisza Hong Kong p9 and the Polar Skate Co. Family Affair p9 are at $60, down from $90. The p9 designation matters here. Polar's p9 construction uses a different build process from their standard decks, and the $90 original price reflected that. Seeing both drop 33% at the same time suggests a retailer moving through inventory rather than a temporary sale.
Polar has been one of the more consistent brands in terms of deck quality and pop retention over the past several years. If you have skated their standard construction and liked it, p9 is worth trying at $60 because that price removes the usual premium-tier hesitation. The Zawisza pro model and the team Family Affair graphic appeal to different aesthetics, but the construction question is the same either way.
