Golden Horse Roller Skates - Street Magic vs Street Diamond (What's the difference?)

This random video is to explain the difference between the Golden Horse Street Magic and the Golden Horse Diamond models of roller skates.
TL;DR:
Both are great skates - the difference really just comes down to build quality and level of support vs comfort. The Diamond seems to be a slightly better build quality but doesn't have as much cushioning inside the boot. The Diamond also seems to be more supportive, but it's difficult to tell because they're not broken in.
The skates I feature in this video are:
GOLDEN HORSE STREET MAGIC
- Compound frames with 360° trucks, 8mm axels, and imperial (US) toe stops
- Golden Horse white LED indoor wheels (dyed)
- Custom dyed boots in size 5C
GOLDEN HORSE STREET DIAMOND
- Vanguard frames with 8mm axels and imperial (US) toe stop threading (they have jam plugs in the video)
- Golden Horse 58mm 82A gold wheels
- Pinkish beige boots in size 5C with wide toe box
Have any questions about how they compare? Let me know in the comments.

Thank you for this. I know it's a little older but this is exactly what I was looking for today. 😊

Thanks for the review. I have been looking for reviews for the diamond skate, to make my decision.

Awesome! I'm glad it was helpful. I really love the Diamond and the vanguard plates are 💯 worth the money.

Thank you for review cause I am exactly as you: I hesitate between two. I would like diamond with vanguard frame but a question for you. You have taken diamond with vanguard… why did you not take the noble model or maven ? Ankle support is to stiff ? Thx

@shainanacion6106 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, the ankle support was way too stiff on the Noble. I considered the Maven, but they were so similar that I decided to go with the Diamond since it was less expensive.

Great review, thank you so much. I'm on GH overload at the moment and CANNOT decide which one to go with. This was SO detailed and highlighted almost all of my questions. How do you like them so far? Any preference?

@shainanacion6106 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for the feedback! I definitely had a lot of questions myself before I got them! I like a slightly stiffer boot, so the Diamond is probably my preference. It's hard to compare them since the plates are so different though! Those vanguard plates are amazing! Unfortunately I'll be selling both pairs, since they're a bit too small for my feet after skating on them a few times :(

@@shainanacion6106 Hi, Thanks for your video! It's super informative. I have wide feet and find alot of skates just aren't wide enough so I have custom Vans. I heard these GH skates can be wide if customized but now I'm wondering if they are wide enough if you are having problems. Do you mind me asking how wide your feet are? 🙃

I got the diamonds with the plastic plates and after a while if they aren’t responsive enough I’ll have my local rink switch out the plates for atom pilot falcon. I am wanting to learn freestyle artistic skating like you do and wanted a better boot than the impalas I have. I have my heart set on it and I’ve loved rollerskating for a while and I got a skate I could use just for strolling and to learn some transitions and tricks.

That's awesome! They're a great upgrade from the Impalas so I hope they're more responsive and fun for you!

Great job on the dyeing of the street magic! Which dye did you use?

@shainanacion6106 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I used Angelus suede dye in burgundy. It was a little tough to find someone who would ship it here to Hawaii, but I finally got it from Etsy.

@michaelb2685 Жыл бұрын

I really would like to know how you got them for that price? With that plate all the GH skates I see are over $600. Care to share where you purchased them from?

Hi, thank you for a very good review! Any idea of the weight? And are the van guard plates heavier than the fiber compound plates?

@shainanacion6106 2 жыл бұрын

I asked Appelusa and she said the vanguard plates are definitely heavier than the compound plates.

Hello, thank you for your review! In your opinion is the street magic better than the moxi panther?

@shainanacion6106 2 жыл бұрын

Great question! They're both good skates, but I prefer the street magic. The memory foam padding makes them more comfortable and the Moxi Panthers unfortunately come with plates that sit low to the ground so you can't use 65mm wheels with them.
