Hottest Skateboarding Trends

Quality skateboards will always be in style. But the designs, fashions, and accessories that skateboarders enjoy fall in and out of vogue. What's hot today may be out next season.

Not sure what's in style now? Here are some of the hottest skateboarding trends to guide you:

Retro Plastic Skateboards

Glossy, plastic skateboards enjoyed their heyday in the 1970s. Now these discount skateboards are making a comeback and are among the hottest skateboarding trends. This durable, functional board has a cool, retro design that will make you feel nostalgic even if you weren't around to see the 70s yourself.

Hybrid Skate Shoes

The shoes you wear to keep a good grip on your board may not necessarily look good on the dance floor -- until now. Hybrid skate shoes give you the functionality you need when you're doing tricks on your board and the style you want when you're out with your friends. No need to keep a change of shoes, so you can pack light!

Upcycled Skateboard Jewelry

Show off your love of skateboarding by wearing cuffs and chains made out of upcycled skateboard parts. Ball bearing shells and bolts can become rings, strips of board can be molded into bangles, and other pieces can be turned into pendants and other fun accessories. Show off your love of the sport while also indulging in one of the hottest skateboarding trends of the season.

What are some of your favorite skateboarding trends this season? Share your thoughts on these trends in the comments!

  1. Skateboarding is not for me, I'm a little insecure when I ride one. But I do like watching skateboarders do their tricks. =)

  3. I used to skate board when I was very young with my even younger brother :) We had heaps of fun, goofing around! Back then, our skate boards were made of plastic and not wood and all those acrobatic acts where only for carnivals. We even know how to oil our wheels to ensure the bearings didn't rust or stuck to each other. Now, everything changed! Even the wheels are hi-tech!

    I'd probably wear accessories with a small skateboard as a pendant to remind of my daring youthful days! :)
