Collab decks, dual-duro wheels, and a wide-board week worth noticing
A 44% drop on a Harry Potter collab, 31% off OJ's dual-duro wheels, and several collab decks worth picking up before they move. Here is what caught our eye.
Most of this week's deals cluster around the 25% mark, which is solid but not exactly stop-the-presses territory. A few things stand out above that noise, though. The Welcome Harry Potter collab is nearly half off, OJ's Double Duro wheels are down 31%, and a handful of collab and pro-model decks from Welcome and Opera are sitting at prices that make them worth a second look even if you were not already shopping. Here is what is actually worth your attention today.
Wheels: OJ Double Duro White Hardline 54mm 99a/95a — 31% off
The OJ Wheels Double Duro White Hardline 54mm 99a/95a is down to $39.99 from $57.99, which is a meaningful drop for a wheel that has a genuine technical story behind it. The dual-durometer construction means you get a harder outer layer (99a) for snappy response and slide control, with a softer inner core (95a) that absorbs a little road vibration before it reaches your feet. That is not marketing language, that is how dual-duro actually works, and OJ has been doing it long enough to get the layering right.
At 54mm you are in the sweet spot for street and skatepark use. Small enough to pop and flick without fighting the weight, large enough that you are not rattling to death on rough pavement between spots. If you are building a setup right now or your wheels are done, $39.99 for a quality 99a/95a dual-duro wheel is a reasonable entry point. This is the kind of deal that does not require you to be a fan of the brand to make sense of.
Deck: Welcome Harry Potter x Welcome Thestral on Widow 10" — 44% off
The Welcome Harry Potter x Welcome Thestral on Widow is the biggest percentage drop in today's list, down to $50 from $90. That is 44% off a 10-inch wide deck, and the width is the part that matters mechanically. Ten inches is a serious platform, built for riders who want maximum foot space, usually for vert, pools, cruising, or just the feel of a big board underfoot. It is not a technical street deck.
The Harry Potter collab angle is what it is. Welcome has done a lot of licensed graphic work and the black and gold foil treatment on this one looks sharp. But the reason to pay attention here is the price. A 10-inch deck at $50 is cheap regardless of the graphic on it, and if you already skate wide or have been curious about going bigger, this is a low-risk way to try it. Collab decks at this discount tend to move, so if the width fits your skating, sitting on it is probably not the right call.
Deck: Opera Evil Eye 8.25 Twin Pop Slick — 25% off
The Opera Evil Eye 8.25 Twin Pop Slick drops to $65.95 from $87.93. Opera is a brand worth knowing if you have not been paying attention. They have built a reputation around quality construction and a distinct visual identity, and the Twin Pop Slick construction here is worth calling out specifically. Twin pop means a symmetrical shape with a kick on both ends, which opens up switch tricks and gives you more flexibility in how you ride the board. Slick refers to the plastic base layer, which reduces friction on grinds and slides.
At 8.25 inches this is a versatile width that works across street, park, and transition without committing hard to any one discipline. If you are the kind of skater who does not want to think too hard about your setup, 8.25 with twin pop and a slick bottom covers a lot of ground. The 25% discount gets it to a price that is competitive with standard construction decks from bigger brands, which makes the extra features feel like a genuine value rather than a talking point.
Deck: Welcome Beetlejuice x Welcome Showtime on Popsicle 8.5" — 27% off
The Welcome Beetlejuice x Welcome Showtime on Popsicle 8.5" is $55, down from $75. Welcome has been putting out licensed collabs for a while now and they tend to move quickly when they hit a real discount. The Beetlejuice graphic in black and purple dip is one of the better-looking ones in recent memory.
The 8.5-inch popsicle shape is a practical choice. Wide enough to feel stable on transition and at ledges, still manageable for street skating if that is your focus. At $55 this is priced below a lot of blank or standard decks from comparable manufacturers, which is the actual point. If you were going to buy a deck this week anyway, the collab graphic and the brand behind it are just additional reasons to pull the trigger here rather than on something generic.
Deck: Violet Lollipop Yellow 8.25" — 29% off
The Violet Lollipop Yellow 8.25" comes in at $55, down from $78. Violet is a Paris-based brand that has developed a following for precise concave, good pop, and graphics that lean more art than logo. The Lollipop shape in their lineup is known for a functional, no-gimmick popsicle cut that skates as straightforward as it looks.
There are no provided specs beyond width here, but 8.25 at $55 from a brand at this level is worth noting on price alone. If you have skated Violet before, you already know whether the concave works for you. If you have not, this is a cheap enough entry point to find out without feeling like you wasted money if it does not click.
