Skate shoes dominate this weekend's biggest drops, starting at $32.50

From Lakai's Newport at 59% off to the Adidas x ADWYSD collab at half price, this weekend's deepest cuts are almost all footwear — and a few are genuinely worth grabbing.

Most weeks the price drops are scattered across categories. This weekend they are almost entirely shoes, which makes sense given where we are in the calendar: late summer inventory needs to move before fall product hits shelves. A handful of these deals are noise, but a few stand out for the combination of how deep the cut is and how useful the shoe actually is. Here are the five worth paying attention to.

Shoes: Lakai Newport — 59% off

The Lakai Newport is sitting at $35, down from $85.37, which is a 59% cut. That is the deepest percentage drop in today's list by a meaningful margin. Lakai has been making skate shoes since 1999 and the Newport sits in their catalog as a low-profile, boardfeel-forward model. The context here is a shoe built around daily usability rather than maximum padding or a signature pro's specific preferences. Low-profile means your foot sits closer to the board, which most street skaters find preferable for feeling flip tricks land clean.

At $35, this is essentially the price of a meal out. If you have been skating in beat-up shoes and putting off replacing them, this is a reasonable moment to stop doing that. The Newport's reputation is as a dependable everyday shoe, not a hype piece, which means it is the kind of thing that just does its job across whatever you are skating.

Shoes: Adidas x ADWYSD Always Pro Model — 50% off

The Adidas x ADWYSD Always Pro Model Black/Semi dropped to $60 from $119.99, which is exactly 50% off. This one sits at a different tier from the $35 shoes. ADWYSD (Always Do What You Should Do) is a UK streetwear label that has built a following through limited collaborative releases, and this collab with Adidas brings elevated materials into a shoe that is described as built for technical skating. At $60, you are getting into a shoe that was priced at the top of the mainstream skate shoe market at full retail.

The Black/Semi colorway is clean enough that it works outside of skating contexts too, which matters if you are buying one pair of shoes and wearing them everywhere. The construction is geared toward technical street skating, so if your sessions involve a lot of skating flatground and trying ledge tricks, this is a reasonable fit. The 50% discount makes it competitive with mid-tier shoes that do not bring the same material quality or the collaborative context.

Shoes: New Balance 508 Brandon Westgate — 56% off

The New Balance 508 Brandon Westgate lands at $35, down from $79.55, a 56% reduction. Westgate's name carries real weight in skating. He came up through Element and put out parts that were defined by raw power skating: big rails, large gaps, hammers on east coast terrain. A signature shoe built around his input is going to reflect that background, which implies something durable and supportive rather than ultra-minimal.

New Balance Numeric has earned genuine credibility in skate footwear over the past decade, partly because they came into the market later and had to earn their place on merit. The 508 being described as lightweight and responsive alongside Westgate's durability-heavy skating background suggests a shoe that tries to split the difference between protection and feel. At $35, this is one of the better-value entry points into the NB Numeric lineup if you have been curious about how their shoes actually skate.

Shoes: IPath x Magenta Cats Skateboarding — 50% off

The I-Path x Magenta Cats Skateboarding is at $55, down from $109.95, also 50% off. This one is interesting for reasons that go beyond the price. Magenta Skateboards is a French label with a specific identity around creative, art-forward skating, and I-Path has always operated at the more considered, craft-oriented end of skate footwear. Hemp and natural materials have been part of I-Path's identity for a long time, and this collaboration brings both brands' aesthetics together.

If you care about the culture around what you skate, not just the functional specs, this is the deal on the list that has the most character. The shoe is built around quality construction and comfort focus, and $55 for a collab with two brands that have genuine scenes behind them is a fair price. It is also just an unusual object. You are not going to see many other people wearing it, which is its own form of value.

Wheels: OJ Double Duro Chubbies 56mm 99a/95a — 34% off

The one non-shoe deal worth flagging is the OJ Wheels Double Duro White Gum Chubbies 56mm 99a/95a, down to $39.99 from $60.99, a 34% drop. The dual-durometer construction is the spec that matters here: 99a on the outer contact surface for grip, with a softer 95a inner layer for rolling comfort. That combination is specifically useful if you are skating rougher ground or mixing street and transit skating, where you need wheels that do not chatter over every crack.

56mm is on the larger end for street skating but makes sense if you are skating spots with deteriorating ground, doing any transition, or cruising between spots. OJ has been making wheels long enough that the Chubbies line is a known quantity rather than a spec experiment. At $40, you are getting a legitimate setup upgrade rather than a budget compromise, and the gum colorway ages well as the wheels wear down.
