Skate shoes are getting hammered on price this week, plus one deck deal

From a $35 Nike SB Bruin High to a 40% cut on the Anti-Hero Eagle Horse Pill, here are the five deals worth your attention this Saturday.

Shoes dominate the price-drop list right now, and the cuts are steep enough that a few of them are genuinely hard to ignore. We pulled out the five most interesting products from today's data, factoring in brand relevance, how much you're actually saving in dollars, and whether the shoe or deck has a real use case beyond filling a bargain bin. One non-shoe made the cut, and it earns its spot.

Shoes: Nike SB Bruin High, 59% off, now $35

The Nike SB Bruin High is sitting at $35, down from $85.37. That is a 59% drop, and $35 for a Nike SB high-top is about as low as these realistically get anywhere. The Bruin lineage is a proven one: the silhouette has been around long enough that it stopped being trendy and just became reliable. High-tops in general split opinions in skateboarding, but if you skate transition or you just want the ankle coverage on stairs and rails, the extra height is functional rather than cosmetic.

At this price point, there is very little risk. Even if the fit is not perfect for your foot shape, $35 is roughly what you would pay for a mid-tier insole upgrade. If the Bruin High fits you, this is an easy call. Worth noting that the colorway is not specified in the listing, so check the linked retailer before committing if that matters to you.

Shoes: Adidas Busenitz Pro, 50% off, now $42.50

The Adidas Busenitz Pro Crystal White/Crystal is at $42.50, cut from $84.99. The Busenitz Pro has been a consistent street skating shoe for years, and its reputation is built on a low-profile construction that keeps you close to the board without sacrificing durability. The minimal build means less material between your foot and the grip tape, which translates directly to better flip feel and pop feedback.

Fifty percent off puts this well below what you would normally pay for an Adidas SB-tier shoe. The Crystal White/Crystal colorway is clean and versatile, though it will show wear faster than a darker option, which is the usual tradeoff with white shoes you actually skate. If you have been skating the Busenitz Pro before and know it works for your foot, this is a straightforward restock at a very fair price.

Shoes: Last Resort AB VM003 Canvas Hi, 50% off, now $45

The Last Resort AB VM003 Canvas Hi (Cracked Black White) is down to $45 from $89.99. Last Resort AB has built a reputation quickly by focusing on skate-specific construction without overcomplicating the design. The VM003 is a high-top canvas shoe, which means it will breathe better than a leather or synthetic upper but will also wear through faster if you are grinding the side of the shoe regularly. Canvas high-tops tend to be lighter than comparable leather builds, so the trade-off is comfort and weight versus longevity.

The cracked black and white graphic is a nice detail that does not read as gimmicky, just textured. At $45 for a Last Resort AB shoe, this is notably below where these typically sit at retail. If you have been curious about the brand but hesitant at full price, this is a reasonable entry point.

Shoes: Hours Is Yours Herman 3, 40% off, now $56.95

The Hours Is Yours Herman 3 lands at $56.95, down from $94.92. Hours Is Yours is a brand that does not get talked about as much as it probably should, and the Herman 3 sits at a mid-tier price point that often gets overlooked in favor of cheaper options or more recognizable names. The context on this one points toward solid ankle support and impact protection, which suggests a shoe built for heavier skating rather than a minimalist board-feel-first approach.

If you are skating bigger stuff, gaps, or anything where you are regularly absorbing hard landings, a shoe designed around impact protection at this price range is worth serious consideration. The 40% cut brings it into territory where it competes directly with much simpler shoes that offer far less construction. That is the story here: you are getting a more capable shoe at a price that does not reflect the spec difference.

Deck: Anti-Hero Eagle Horse Pill, 40% off, now $48.95

The Anti-Hero Team Eagle Horse Pill Deck is at $48.95, down from $80.95. At 8.4 inches wide with a popsicle shape, this is a deck aimed at skaters who prefer a wider platform, whether that is for transition skating, larger feet, or simply a preference for more foot coverage on technical tricks. Anti-Hero is a well-established brand with consistent construction quality across their lineup, and the popsicle shape means this is a general-purpose deck rather than something specialized.

Forty percent off a team deck from a brand at this level is a meaningful discount. Decks in this size range typically sit in the $75 to $85 range at full price, so landing one at under $50 is a legitimate deal. The Eagle Horse Pill graphic is classic Anti-Hero territory, busy and irreverent, which will appeal to some and not others. The construction is what matters, and at 8.4 inches this is a solid platform for anyone skating medium to larger trucks.
