Skate shoes dominate today's drops, but two non-shoe deals stand out

From a 56% slash on the Westgate 508 to a dual-durometer wheel deal, here are the five price drops worth your attention today.

Most of the deals live right now are shoes, which makes sense given mid-summer clearance cycles. The depth on some of these discounts is real, not cosmetic. A few brands are moving older colorways to make room, and one or two of these are sitting at prices that genuinely change the calculus on whether to pull the trigger. We also have a wheel deal and a deck deal in the mix for skaters who need more than footwear.

Shoes: New Balance 508 Brandon Westgate — 56% off

The New Balance 508 Brandon Westgate is down to $35.00 from $79.55, which is a 56% cut and the steepest discount in today's roundup by a significant margin. Thirty-five dollars for a collaborator-designed skate shoe from a brand that has been taken seriously in the skate market is not a price you see often. New Balance entered skateboarding with credibility partly because of who they worked with, and Westgate is not a minor name.

At that price, the risk calculation is almost inverted. Even if the shoe ends up being a backup pair that lives in your bag, you are not losing much. The context notes a lightweight, responsive feel, which points toward a lower-profile construction oriented around board feel rather than maximum impact cushioning. If you skate street and want something that does not feel like wearing boots, this is worth a look at $35.

Shoes: Adidas Forum 84 Low ADV — 50% off

The Adidas Forum 84 Low ADV sits at $59.95, down from $119.90, which is exactly half price. The Forum 84 silhouette borrows from a basketball shoe with significant cultural history, and Adidas adapted it for skating by reinforcing high-wear areas and adding more flexible padding than the original construction would have used. Low ADV positioning means this is the performance-oriented version, not just a lifestyle shoe with extra branding.

Fifty percent off on an Adidas skate shoe at this price point is the kind of deal that fills a gap in your rotation. It is described as versatile across street and transition, which tracks with a cupsole-adjacent build that gives you support on impact without completely deadening ground feel. If you have been curious about the ADV line but did not want to pay full retail to find out, this is a reasonable entry point.

Shoes: Last Resort AB CM002 Mid — 30% off

The Last Resort AB CM002 Mid drops to $84.00 from $119.95, a 30% reduction. Last Resort AB is a Swedish brand that came up through Polar and surrounding circles, and they have built a reputation for shoes that prioritize function without layering on unnecessary material. The CM002 Mid specifically is described as no-nonsense, designed for durability and board control, which aligns with what people who wear them tend to say.

Thirty percent is not the flashiest discount in this list, but the brand commands enough loyalty and the base price is high enough that getting it to $84 matters. Mid height gives you more ankle coverage than a low, which some street skaters prefer when they are doing anything with significant impact on landings. If you have wanted to try Last Resort AB without paying full price, this is probably as good as it gets for a current model.

Wheels: OJ Double Duro White Chubbies 54mm 99a/95a — 31% off

The OJ Wheels Double Duro White Chubbies 54mm 99a/95a comes down to $39.99 from $57.99, a 31% drop. The dual durometer construction is the functional story here. You have a 99a outer layer, which is hard enough for good rebound and pop, bonded to a 95a core that absorbs a bit more vibration. It is not a gimmick. The idea is that you get more grip when the outer layer flexes slightly on rough pavement without sacrificing the snappy feel you want on smooth surfaces.

At 54mm, these sit in a range that works for both street and park without feeling sluggish. The chubby shape refers to a wider contact patch, which adds stability at speed and smooths out rough ground a little more than a narrower profile would. If you skate spots with variable pavement quality, or commute on rough concrete before hitting a park, the Double Duro concept is genuinely practical rather than just a marketing angle. At $39.99 for a set, this is a solid time to try them.

Deck: HUF x Thrasher Meltdown Cruiser Shaped — 30% off

The Huf x Thrasher Meltdown Cruiser Shaped is at $69.99, down from $99.99, a clean 30% off. Cruiser-shaped decks have a wider nose, a more pronounced tail kick, and generally a more symmetrical or directional shape compared to standard popsicle street decks. That geometry makes them easier to push around on, more stable for carving, and a bit more forgiving if you are riding mixed terrain. The HUF and Thrasher pairing gives it some pedigree, though what matters most is the shape and whether that suits how you skate.

At $69.99 for a complete-ready cruiser deck from two brands that have been in the scene for a long time, this is a reasonable grab. Cruiser setups are cheap to build out since you can run softer wheels and looser trucks without needing anything exotic. If you want a second board for getting around or a more relaxed skate that is not about hammers, this deck at this price makes it easy to pull together a functional cruiser setup without spending much.
