Skate shoes are weirdly cheap right now, plus a collab deck worth grabbing
From a 59% drop on the Lakai Newport to a HUF x Thrasher cruiser at 30% off, here are the five deals worth your attention today.
Most of what dropped this week is footwear, which makes sense given where we are in the summer clearance cycle. Shops are moving out summer stock before fall deliveries hit, and that means some legitimately good shoes are sitting at prices that are hard to ignore. We pulled the five most interesting deals from the current list, skipping anything that felt like a clearance bin grab and focusing on stuff that actually has a reason to exist in your rotation.
Shoes: Lakai Newport — 59% off
The Lakai Newport is down to $35 from $85.37, which is a 59% drop and the single biggest percentage cut in today's list. Lakai has been making skate shoes since the late nineties and the Newport sits in their core lineup as a low-profile, supportive daily driver. The construction prioritizes boardfeel without going paper-thin, so you get some cushion without losing the connection to your deck that makes trick skating feel precise.
At $35, this is the kind of price where you buy a backup pair while you're at it. Low-profile street shoes from established skate brands almost never get this cheap unless a shop is genuinely trying to move units. If you skate street or transition and go through shoes regularly, this is the deal of the day.
Shoes: I-Path x Magenta Cats Skateboarding — 50% off
The I-Path x Magenta Cats Skateboarding collab shoe is at $55, down from $109.95. Magenta is a French skate brand with a strong visual identity and a roster that leans toward creative, flowing skating, so the collaboration here is coherent rather than a cash grab. I-Path built their reputation on quality construction and a comfort-first approach, and the context on this one suggests the build quality carries that tradition forward.
Fifty bucks for a collab shoe from two brands with actual skate credibility is a fair deal. If you care about what's on your feet aesthetically as much as functionally, this is worth a look before it sells out in your size.
Shoes: Hours Is Yours B1 Herman Slip-On — 40% off
The Hours Is Yours B1 Herman Slip-On comes in at $52.95 against an original $88.25, a 40% reduction. Hours Is Yours is Erik Koston and Mark Whiteley's brand, and the B1 Herman is named for Chris Herman, which tells you this isn't a lifestyle slip-on that wandered into the skate aisle. It's a purpose-built skate shoe that happens to have the convenience of no laces.
Slip-ons get dismissed as casual footwear, but a well-made skate slip-on works differently from a Vans Classic, with construction designed around the stresses of skating rather than just the silhouette. If you've been curious about skating slip-ons without going full minimalist, this is a credible entry point at a price that removes most of the risk.
Wheels: OJ Double Duro White Hardline 54mm 99a/95a — 31% off
The OJ Wheels Double Duro White Hardline 54mm 99a/95a are down to $39.99 from $57.99. OJ's Double Duro construction bonds two durometer compounds into a single wheel: the outer contact layer runs at 95a for grip and smooth roll, while a harder 99a inner core provides the snap and responsiveness you want for street skating. The 54mm diameter sits in the sweet spot for street and skatepark use, big enough to roll over rough ground without fighting your setup's geometry.
Wheels are one of those components where the difference between a $40 set and a $58 set is mostly just price, especially once you're talking about dual-durometer tech from a brand that has been making wheels since 1960. If yours are flatspotted or you're building up a new setup, $40 for a technically sound 54mm street wheel is genuinely good value.
Deck: HUF x Thrasher Meltdown Cruiser Shaped — 30% off
The HUF x Thrasher Meltdown Cruiser Shaped deck is at $69.99, down from $99.99. HUF and Thrasher have a long-running relationship rooted in San Francisco skate culture, and the Meltdown graphic series has been part of their collab output for years. The cruiser shape matters here: wider tail, more relaxed concave, and a shape optimized for pushing around and carving rather than flip tricks, which opens this up to a different kind of session.
Cruiser decks at this price point often end up as dedicated street-cruising builds with soft wheels and riser pads, which is a genuinely fun setup to have around separate from your main skating rig. At $70 for a shaped collab deck with real cultural context behind it, this makes more sense than most of the generic cruiser blanks floating around at similar prices.
