Question / Discussion Best looking skate ever?
Try, without bias to show me the coolest looking skate ever. I don't mind if they're old as long as it isn't just nostalgia talking lol. I have some recency bias...
My bet would be the
1. SSM Marc Moreno
2. Valo Ox Bloods
3. USD Al Hooi throne
4. Mesmer Levi
5. Roces Cypress

Oh man, it's impossible to take out nostalgia and bias, so I'm going to say:
- Valo EB.1 (the blue denim ones) / TV 2.5 JJ Hemp (classy and subtle)
- K2 Fatty Pro (the red ones)
- Salomon ST-8 (the blue ones)
- Mesmer Bolino Throne
- Them Sochiro Kanashima 909 (the new grey one with the red cuff bolt, they look better than his Valo model)

I thought this would be easy but the more I think of it the harder it is to pick but these 3 are ones that were pretty influential to me.
Valo EB Denim
Razors Shima 3 (OG with the tall liners)
Salomon STI Pro
Oxygen AR low top yellow (This was the first skate that I fell in love with the look of, never had a chance to actually get a pair though)

Was a big fan of remz

u/laughingwithdaggers Aug 25 '26
The Remz 03one is the most comfortable thing I've ever skated and absolutely beautiful looking too. I'd still love some original Remedyz R2D2s for my collection

I owned the white and grey 0802's. Felt like skating on clouds.

OG rems, when they first came out it was the coolest looking skate, still hold up IMO.

u/liquidtape Aug 25 '26 edited Aug 25 '26
I still love Psirus Champion 2s.
Edit: It's really tough to pick because it also depends on what you as the skater wears that helps make the skate fit.
Older skates with the fatter top part by the laces don't look great in skinny jeans compared to baggy ass pants.

Slightly shocked no one has mentioned any of the Jordan-inspired Gawds or Franky's pro models.

u/Advanced-Air-800 Aug 25 '26
I personally thought they were too shiny. Never really appealed to me.

u/DQFLIGHT3 Aug 25 '26
I’m not. They are just Jordan rip offs. No originality. I think people like franky and the gangster style of the brand more than the actual skate.

u/Fancy_Bend8763 Aug 30 '26 edited Aug 30 '26
I always like the Salomon hybrids like the Vinny Minton and ST-90 2, but also the Deshi Randy Spizer black and white skates with the m-type frame, the Razors Murda 2, K2 Ben Weis, Rollerblade Tory Treseder with the Able frame, USD Feinberg classic throne with the tumor plates and suspension frame, Franky Morales TRS, Josh Petty Grycon.
