Frankenskates Laboratory

Build YOUR
Skate.

You imagine it. We compatibility-check it, assemble it, examine it, and bring it to life.

Precision Crafted

Every build is mounted and adjusted as a complete machine—not tossed together as a box of parts.

Built for You

The skate is the creature. Your choices are its DNA. No two experiments need to be the same.

Choose the machine

Two laboratories.
One obsession.

Quad conversions and UFS inline systems follow different mechanical rules. Our compatibility engine keeps each build coherent without limiting individual expression.

The colorful skate is the main attraction.

The Laboratory stays black, white, chrome, and steel so your creation can own the room. High-top Vans conversions are becoming part of the visual language we are building here in Phoenix.

Regional skate cultures inspire the catalog—California Sliders, Chicago JB, Detroit Snappers, St. Louis Truckers, UK Converts, and whatever comes next—but the final machine remains unmistakably yours.
