Skate shoes dominate today's drops, plus a deck and wheels worth knowing about
Lakai, Converse, Last Resort AB, and OJ Wheels headline today's deals, with shoes clearing out at prices that are hard to ignore on a holiday weekend.
Holiday weekend pricing has pushed a cluster of skate shoes down to ranges that make stocking up genuinely reasonable. The shoe deals are the obvious story, but there are a couple of hardware picks buried in the list that deserve attention too. We pulled out the five that have the most going for them beyond just being cheap, and broke down why each one matters at its current price.
Shoes: Lakai Mod and Lakai York — 59% off
Both the Lakai Mod and the Lakai York are sitting at $35, down from $85.37 apiece, which is a 59% drop. That is the biggest percentage cut on the list today, and the flat $35 price point on both makes this worth mentioning in the same breath. Lakai has been a core part of skate shoe culture for a long time, and their catalog generally leans toward shoes that prioritize board feel without stripping out all cushioning. The Mod skews toward versatility across spots, the York toward a cleaner silhouette with a classic, low-profile build that tends to hold up well over daily wear.
At $35, you are not being asked to take a risk. If you have been curious about Lakai's fit and feel but have not wanted to commit at full retail, this is the window. Grabbing one of each colorway to rotate through is not a crazy move at this price, since shoe rotation genuinely extends the life of both pairs by giving the foam time to decompress between sessions.
Shoes: Converse Fastbreak Pro — 56% off
The Converse Fastbreak Pro is at $35, down from $79.55, a 56% cut. The Fastbreak Pro is one of the more interesting crossover silhouettes in skate footwear because it pulls from basketball shoe construction, which means the low-top profile is built around lateral stability and a thin, relatively flat sole. That translates to good board feel and a responsive underfoot sensation that skaters who prefer minimal padding tend to seek out.
The tradeoff with this type of shoe is that you are not getting a lot of impact absorption for heavy landings. If you skate mostly flatground tech or park setups where you are not eating long drops regularly, that is fine. At $35, the Fastbreak Pro is worth trying even if you are not sure it is your preferred construction, because the entry cost is low enough that finding out it is not your fit is not much of a loss.
Shoes: Last Resort AB CM002 Mid — 32% off
The Last Resort AB CM002 MID in Olive/Grey/Black is at $75, down from $109.95, a 32% discount. Last Resort AB is a relatively young brand but has built a reputation quickly for thoughtful construction and a clean aesthetic that does not feel derivative. The CM line is their core street shoe offering, and the mid-top version gives you more ankle coverage than the low, which matters if you are skating spots where your ankles take more lateral stress, think rougher pavement, gaps, or anything where a rolled ankle is a realistic outcome.
This is the most expensive shoe on the list today, but it is also the one where the construction quality is most likely to be noticeable. The Olive/Grey/Black colorway is understated in a way that works with most setups. If you have been putting off trying Last Resort AB because the full retail price felt steep, $75 is a meaningfully better entry point.
Wheels: OJ Double Duro Chubbies 56mm 99a/95a — 34% off
The OJ Wheels Double Duro White Gum Chubbies 56mm 99a/95a dropped to $39.99 from $60.99, a 34% cut. The dual durometer construction here is the main spec worth understanding. The 99a outer layer provides grip and a smoother ride over rough surfaces, while the harder inner core keeps the rebound and roll speed up so the wheel does not feel sluggish. At 56mm with a chubby contact patch, these are on the larger end for street skating but make real sense for anything involving rough ground, mellow transition, or cruising between spots.
The gum colorway is not just aesthetic. Gum compound wheels tend to perform well on a variety of surfaces and show dirt less than white-only urethane. If your usual skate environment involves anything less than pristine pavement, the extra diameter and softer outer layer are going to be noticeable quality-of-life improvements over a harder, smaller street wheel. At $39.99, this is a solid hardware deal on a day when shoes are doing most of the heavy lifting in the discount list.
Deck: DGK x Bruce Lee Legend Red Foil 8.5 — 47% off
The Embark Skateboard Shop DGK x Bruce Lee Legend Red Foil 8.5 is at $49.95, down from $94.95, a 47% discount. An 8.5 inch deck sits in the wide-but-not-massive range that skaters running bigger trucks and shoes tend to prefer. It gives you more platform underfoot, which is useful for transition, manual pads, and anything where foot placement stability matters more than quick flip response. It is not a deck that fights you on technical flatground tricks either, it just requires a bit more commitment to flick.
The DGK x Bruce Lee collaboration is a specific collectible piece within DGK's catalog, and the red foil graphics hold up on a deck that you might actually skate rather than wall-hang. Nearly 47% off on a collab deck is unusual. If you are in the market for an 8.5 and do not want to pay $90 for a graphic deck from a shop, this is the straightforward answer right now.
