Who is SK8 M8S?
We are a roller skate apparel brand based in London, UK. Funny enough, we we’re never meant to be a clothing brand for roller skaters, far from it actually, but the ‘SK8 powers at be’ had other plans.

What do we do?
We make custom roller skate garments, for skaters of all levels and ages. The youngest roller is 5 and oldest in her 70’s. All our garments are designed & made to order, by hand, in-house.
This isn’t exactly ‘a design your clothes’ kind of brand. We have specific designs like our Classic # line that feature your name (or chosen text) and SK8 No. on your back with a choice of two skate slogans. In your chosen colour-way. The Classic # line are our most popular garments, featuring; the classic reflective Hoodies (video above), Classic Tshirt (image above) & also available in a crop top and Sweater.
However we also have a SK8 quote collection & accessories all available featuring your unique SK8 No. and colour-way. Note; You will need to claim a SK8 No. before you order, to avoid your order being cancelled.
the limited drops
A few times a year we release limited edition pieces, which we call Limited drops or drops (all drops are limited by default). These pieces can be anything; a hoodie, a jacket or a bag. Often requested directly from skaters. These drops are only available for a limited window of time. To get early access to drops, sign up to our mailing list “Bi weekly bearings" or follow us on Instagram, for public release.
What is a SK8 No. (skate number)?
A SK8 No. is your unique three digit identity (000-999). Once you’ve claimed your SK8 No., it's yours for life. It will be on every garment you purchase from us. You can change the text on your garment any time you order but your SK8 No. is permanent. If you would like to claim one, please be sure to claim & wait for the confirmation before your order (it’s super quick) as this allows us to allocate it correctly on our end, making sure it’s linked to the right person. Orders with a SK8 No. that has not been confirmed will be cancelled.
Gifting is big thing amongst skaters (it might just be SK8 No. skaters). A lot of orders are gifts, so yes you can claim a SK8 No. for someone you care about but remember once it’s claimed, it cannot be changed.
but… You don’t need a SK8 No.
We know what it’s like to feel like you don’t quite belong & we pride ourselves on being a space that welcomes and celebrates all types of skaters, of all ages (we have kids garments too).
Although the SK8 No. is what makes us SK8 M8S and we hold that in high regard. We also understand that it’s not everyones vibe or maybe the SK8 No. you wanted has already been claimed, that doesn’t mean that you can’t grab something too.
All our garments and accessories (including Limited Drops) are available with and without a SK8 No.
We even redesigned our Classic hoodies & t shirts so that their is version without a SK8 No. we call it NSNR (No SK8 No. Required). So you can grab one for yourself or surprise a roller in your life with something truly unique.
