Our Inline Warehouse staff has chosen the best aggressive/street skates for 2025
based on comfort, ease, and value. We've thrown in a couple of staff favorites as well.

Comfort: 9/10

USD has a great way of making high-quality products affordable and a part of their standard. Even in their lower-end team Sway Skates, the USD Basit Dual-Fit Liners that come inside of them feel premium with a neoprene toe and an ample amount of well-articulated padding. The pro-models have even nicer liners that are now becoming more and more personalized by the pro-rider with some residuals going straight to the skater. Making them limited edition, more desirable and they are all heat-moldable.

Ease: 9/10

The Sway’s have a very forgiving shell that allows you to get in and out of them a bit easier. There are also a few options for closures with many having a velcro 45-degree strap and some just the adjustable cuff straps. Underneath the soul plates have a large grinding surface and the Kizer Fluid V frames have a nice hook to their central grinding area but the Kizer Fluid IV Frames (that come on the USD Sway 58 XXIV skates) have an even deeper groove and anti-rockered setup out of the box. Either way the frames are strong and slippery with injection molded glass fiber reinforced plastic.

Value: 10/10

USD definitely did not cheap out on these skates and it’s one of the reasons why we love them so much! They were originally just supposed to set a new standard as an entry-level aggressive skate. As more skaters and the pro’s on their team enjoyed them so much, they decided to put a bit more effort into them. There is no part of the skate that is low in quality, other than potentially the Velcro strap, however, it makes them easier to get on and off and it’s easy to replace.

Comfort: 10/10

The Iqon AG Skates and boots all include an IQON x MyFit Prime liner which are removable and heat-moldable. The AG10 and AG15 both include heat-moldable shells with carbon fiber hybrid and Kevlar reinforcements being used giving you a fully customizable feel.

Ease: 9/10

They all include standard lacing that goes into the liners, and most include either a Kizer Supreme buckle or velcro straps that are of course very easy to use. Getting into the skate is simple but it's just not as quick as we'd maybe like them to be. The AG10 and AG20 have velcro 45-degree straps but the AG15 come without them. They are all very lightweight with durable materials that also makes them easier to use.

Value: 7/10

To be honest, they aren't cheap! They aren't our best value choice for a reason, but their quality is justifiable. The carbon fiber hybrid makes them feel weight-less as well as essentially unbreakable. They also use protective TPU and microfiber to ensure their durability and free to use 3D printing protectors that you can create at home.

The AG10 has the most elite design with a fully carbon boot with a lightweight carbon base that is flat so that you can adapt them to your urban setups. They are the first ever aggressive boot to feature a carbon cuff, and it is height adjustable.

The AG15 skates have a more old school feel and look with some leather and nylon uppers. The most affordable model is the AG20 with glass fiber reinforced plastic that is hand-lasted and injected with composite materials to strengthen them.
