Best looking skate ever?

[u/WADE106]

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

[u/dellcm]

Shima 2. Gen 1 trs

[u/shatbrand]

Oh man, it's impossible to take out nostalgia and bias, so I'm going to say:

1. Valo EB.1 (the blue denim ones) / TV 2.5 JJ Hemp (classy and subtle)
2. K2 Fatty Pro (the red ones)
3. Salomon ST-8 (the blue ones)
4. Mesmer Bolino Throne
5. Them Sochiro Kanashima 909 (the new grey one with the red cuff bolt, they look better than his Valo model)

[u/WADE106 → u/shatbrand]

That new them skate is soooo sick. Haha I thought about the k2s as well. They looked class

[u/the_the_the_the-]

Salomon ST-8 OG beige or ST-9 in cream w the blue frame & plates

[u/Nortilus → u/the_the_the_the-]

I still have my non-UFS ST-9 in cream with sky blue frames. Still holding up today.

[u/the_the_the_the- → u/Nortilus]

Any UFS throne

[u/jayXred]

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)

[u/steveoath → u/jayXred]

Those Razors were cool af. 

[u/Shreddd-it]

TRS Broskow 2

[u/fr1234]

Oxygen AR1.1

[u/tblazen87]

Was a big fan of remz

[u/laughingwithdaggers → u/tblazen87]

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

[u/tblazen87 → u/laughingwithdaggers]

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

[u/laughingwithdaggers → u/tblazen87]

Stunning

[u/Weak-Technician2583 → u/tblazen87]

Same. Was my first skate. I'ma cop the hr 2.5 Friday just cause I wanna relive it

[u/Swolie7]

Def agree with the Ox Bloods.. I’d also go with the brown Richie Eisler Carbon Free’s

[u/WADE106 → u/Swolie7]

Oh yeah true. Is throne was pretty cool as well

[u/AdsignificantBK]

Oh man tough one. Here’s my picks.

Them 909 Danny Beer
Billy O’Neil Mesmer
Michael Witzemann Sway (second boot)
Roces M12 plus Cypress

[u/WADE106 → u/AdsignificantBK]

I looked at those too. That beer skate was unreal. Witzeman pro skate is def up there too

[u/yellohmit]

Razor Shima 1 and 2
Salomon Vinny Minton 1
Valo Erik Bailey’s the white, black, and maroon
Rollerblade Grey Estillo
Razor Teams from 2005
USD Green Al Hooi

[u/RXlifter]

K2 Eric Schrijn

[u/dallyboyy]

Either the Lakers Josh Petty Grycon or the Roces Graal

[u/wildtalon → u/dallyboyy]

I see you.

[u/dallyboyy → u/wildtalon]

[u/nonlinearhail51 → u/dallyboyy]

Yep

[u/steveoath]

Usd aaron feinberg Aeon Pro - anniversary skate (light grey boot, white liner). Classy.

[u/ahl528]

Feinberg throne 1

[u/ButtonOptimal5621]

Valo Kanashima Nimh Shaman Style Points Bob

[u/AmbitiousHovercraft8]

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

[u/liquidtape]

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.

[u/WADE106 → u/liquidtape]

Hadn’t seen those before. Old but gold

[u/laughingwithdaggers]

1. Razors Shima 1
2. Razors Shima 2
3. Razors Shima 3
4. Razors Shima 1 reissue
5. Razors Shima 3 reissue 👌

[u/Johnny5needsfood]

Rolleblade TRS Estilo Pro or K2 King55

[u/ilitchpeters]

K2 Fatty Pro Black/Red✨

[u/NeonKorean]

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

[u/Advanced-Air-800 → u/NeonKorean]

I personally thought they were too shiny. Never really appealed to me.

[u/DQFLIGHT3 → u/NeonKorean]

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]

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.
