Skate shoes under $75: the biggest discounts live right now
A wave of skate shoe deals is hitting 40-59% off today. Here are the five most interesting cuts across silhouettes, brands, and price points.
Shoes are dominating the deal board this week, and a handful of them are worth actually talking about. The top of the list is sitting at 59% off, which puts multiple pairs at $35 flat, a price point that used to mean clearance rack garbage. Some of these are legacy silhouettes, some are pro models with real skating pedigree, and at least one is from a brand most people forgot existed. Here is what stands out.
Shoes: Converse Louie Lopez Pro 2 — 59% off
The Converse Louie Lopez Pro 2 is sitting at $35, down from $85.37. Converse has been quietly serious about skateboarding for a long time, and the Louie Lopez pro line represents their more technically considered side rather than the Chuck Taylor lifestyle angle. The Pro 2 is Louie Lopez's second signature model with the brand, and Lopez is a skater whose style rewards a low-profile, board-feel-oriented shoe. The silhouette follows that logic.
At $35 you are not taking a gamble on a no-name shoe. This is a pro model from a skater with genuine street credentials, on a canvas that Converse has refined over multiple iterations. If you skate in low-cut shoes and want something that does not feel like a marshmallow underfoot, this price makes it easy to just grab a pair and skate them into the ground without overthinking it.
Shoes: New Balance Andrew Reynolds 933 — 52% off
The New Balance Andrew Reynolds 933 is at $65, down from $134.95. Reynolds is one of the more iconic figures in street skating, and his New Balance collaboration has always leaned into a beefier, slightly padded construction compared to the ultralight direction a lot of skate shoes took in the 2010s. The 933 sits at the higher end of what New Balance has offered in the skate category, and the original retail price reflects that.
Half off on a $135 shoe is the kind of drop that makes sense to act on. Reynolds-style skating tends to demand a shoe that can absorb impact and hold structure session after session, and New Balance running heritage means the cushioning platform here is not an afterthought. If you have been curious about the NB skate line but not at full retail, $65 is a reasonable entry point for a pro model of this standing.
Shoes: Adidas Forum 84 Low ADV — 50% off
The Adidas Forum 84 Low ADV lands at $59.95, half of the original $119.90. The Forum 84 Low ADV is Adidas Skateboarding's skate-specific take on the classic Forum basketball silhouette. The ADV designation in Adidas Skateboarding's lineup historically signals a construction tuned for skating rather than just a lifestyle shoe with a skate-adjacent name. The Forum shape is chunky and relatively high-volume, which suits skaters who prefer a roomier fit or skate in thicker socks.
The original Forum is a 1984 basketball shoe that has had a long second life in skating, and the ADV version attempts to close the gap between that heritage silhouette and actual skate functionality. At $60 it is competing directly with mid-tier skate shoes that were built for skating from the ground up, and the brand recognition and build quality give it a reasonable case at that price.
Shoes: Etnies Marana Michelin — 40% off
The Etnies Marana Michelin is $65.95, off from $109.92. The Marana is one of Etnies' longer-running technical silhouettes, and the Michelin collab version replaces the standard outsole with rubber compounded by Michelin, the tire manufacturer. Michelin rubber is denser and more abrasion-resistant than what you find on most skate shoes, which matters if you skate a lot of concrete or tend to wear through outsoles faster than the rest of the shoe gives out.
The Michelin outsole is a legitimate differentiator, not a marketing badge. Skaters who go through shoes quickly because of sole wear rather than upper blowout will notice the difference in longevity. At 40% off from an already reasonable retail price, the durability argument gets stronger. This is a shoe that should outlast two pairs of standard skate shoes if the construction holds up, and the Marana platform has a long track record.
Shoes: Hours Is Yours Dilo Pro — 40% off
The Hours Is Yours Dilo Pro is $60, down from $99.95. Hours Is Yours is a smaller independent skate shoe brand that does not get the same shelf space as Vans or Nike SB, which means a lot of skaters have never tried a pair. The Dilo Pro is a pro model in their lineup, which at least signals that the design was developed around a specific skater's preferences rather than just filling out a catalog.
Independent skate shoe brands have historically been where some of the more thoughtful construction decisions happen, partly because they are competing on quality rather than brand recognition. Without more spec detail it is hard to make specific claims about what the Dilo Pro does differently, but $60 for a pro model from an independent brand with a genuine skate focus is worth a look, especially if you are tired of the usual rotation of the same four brands.
