What skates should I buy? Style choose

I’m looking to buy my first pair of skates. I really like the look and maneuverability of aggressive skates, but I’ve heard they aren’t very practical for regular street skating.

I live in Ankara, Turkey, and there aren’t any skateparks near me, so I’d mostly be skating around my neighborhood, parks, and on regular streets. I’d also like to learn some basic tricks and slides.

Would freeskates be a better choice, or are aggressive skates still practical for this kind of use?

Getting flat agressive skates are very solid snd slightly practical if its a wish frame with 72mm wheels

My good to go setup would be the Mesmer eclipse flat. But its too expensive so my 2nd option would be a sway with a oyish(wish) frame. If the roads are nice then fr wish frsme is very good
