Slime Balls Wheels OG Slime Green (60mm/78a)

The Slime Balls Wheels OG Slime Green (60mm/78a) are a nod to the vibrant skateboarding scene of the 1980s, offering both performance and a touch of nostalgia. These wheels feature a 60mm diameter, making them ideal for cruising and maintaining speed over various terrains.

The OG Slime Green colorway is complemented by the classic Slime Balls graphic, a design that has remained iconic in skate culture.

Slime Balls emerged during the 1980s, a period often regarded as the heyday of skateboarding. As a brand under the NHS, Inc. umbrella, which also houses other notable names like Santa Cruz Skateboards and Independent Trucks, Slime Balls quickly gained popularity for their bold designs and high-performance wheels. The brand dared skaters to stand out with loud graphics and bright apparel, capturing the rebellious and vibrant spirit of the skateboarding community. Today, Slime Balls continues to produce wheels that resonate with both seasoned skaters and newcomers, maintaining their legacy of quality and distinctive style.

NHS, Inc., founded in 1973 by Richard Novak, Doug Haut, and Jay Shuirman, has been a cornerstone in the skateboarding industry. The acronym NHS represents the surnames of its founders. Starting as a surfboard business, the company expanded into skateboarding, leading to the creation of several influential brands. Slime Balls, as part of this family, has benefited from NHS's commitment to quality and innovation, ensuring that their wheels meet the demands of skaters across generations.
