Spitfire x Ishod Wair Lock In Classic Wheels Just Dropped in 93A — And They're Unlike Anything Else Out There
If you've been sleeping on Ishod Wair's pro model wheels, it's time to wake up. Spitfire just dropped the newest version of his signature Lock In Classic wheels in a 93A Soft Slider formula — and they might just be the most thoughtfully designed skateboard wheel on the market right now.

Ishod Wair Doesn't Do Generic — And That's the Point
Let's be honest: a lot of pro model gear is just a name slapped on something that already exists. A stock shape, a fresh colorway, some new graphics. Done. Ship it.
Ishod Wair doesn't roll like that.
This is the same guy who, a few years back, designed a signature twin tail deck for Real Skateboards — something that had almost no precedent in modern skating. He didn't just put his name on a popsicle. He built something new because he wanted it to exist. That's a different mentality, and it shows up in every piece of gear he puts his name on.
His Spitfire pro model wheel is no different.
What Makes the Lock In Classic Shape So Special?
A few months ago, Ishod launched the original Lock In Classic wheels and they turned heads immediately — because there's genuinely nothing else shaped like them on the market.
Here's the breakdown: the inside of the wheel has a flat "lock in" side, engineered specifically for grinding. When you're on a ledge or a rail, that flat face gives you a precise, locked-in feel that rounder wheels just can't replicate. The outside? A smooth, rounded classic profile. Together, they create an asymmetric medium-width wheel that serves two masters: grinding performance and classic ride feel.
It's the kind of thing that makes you think, why hasn't anyone done this before?
So What's New? The 93A Soft Slider Formula Changes Everything
The original Lock In Classic launched at 99 Durometer — a hard, fast, street-skating standard. Great wheel. But Ishod (and Spitfire) weren't done.
The newest drop brings the Lock In Classic into 93A Soft Slider territory, and this is where it gets really exciting.
If you followed the skateboard world last year, you know the 93A formula caused a legitimate stir. Here's why skaters are obsessed with it:
You can actually skate on rough ground. Normal hard wheels on crusty asphalt feel like you're grinding your feet against a belt sander. The 93A formula is soft enough to absorb vibrations and give you a smooth ride on imperfect terrain.
But they still slide. This is the magic trick. Softer urethane wheels traditionally don't slide well — they grip too much, making powerslides, bluntslides, and noseslides awkward or unpredictable. Spitfire's 93A compound is chemically engineered to still slide. You get the softness without sacrificing that slidey performance that street skating demands.
Your body will thank you. We've interviewed Andrew Reynolds — one of the legends who helped product test and design the Spitfire 93A wheels — and he put it simply: he feels less sore at the end of a skate session. All day long, those vibrations add up. Dampening them matters, especially if you're skating hard surfaces or putting in serious hours.
This Is the First 93A Wheel With the Lock In Shape
Here's something worth noting for the gear heads: up until now, the 93A Soft Slider formula from Spitfire has only been available in classic and radial wheel shapes. Two shapes. That's it.
The Ishod Wair Lock In Classic is the first time the 93A formula has been paired with a Lock In shape. So if you want that grind-locking asymmetric profile and the soft slider performance? This is your only option on the market. Period.

The Bottom Line
The Spitfire x Ishod Wair Lock In Classic in 93A is the kind of wheel that earns its hype. Unique shape. Innovative formula. First of its kind. Designed by a skater who actually thinks about what he wants rather than just collecting royalty checks.
Whether you're grinding marble ledges, fighting through rough city pavement, or just tired of vibrating your feet numb every session — these wheels are worth serious consideration.
