I can only tell you that if you have seen different images of the skate of different designs, the current design is the one with the eye shaped "window" on the outside without the plastic wear guard (the 2 silver strips) behind the toe box. Also as far as colour customisation goes, they are not offering the same areas as before. Now you can customise the previously mentioned window on the outside and the diamond shaped area at the back of the skate. The reason given for this was durability issues. If you. Google search for images you can see examples of this. I got a pair recently and they are going great. I didn't care for the insoles though and put some Superfeet in them. I would love to get true custom insoles because of my really high arches but there is no where here that I can get them. I have to say that it is a good idea to bake them at a shop with really attentive staff that know what they are doing. The skates have very thin padding as they are supposed to fit the exact shape of your feet so you want to get the staff to really press the boot in all around your feet to get rid of any excess space. I had to do a bunch of adjustments at home with a hair dryer and a a clamp because the staff at the lhs were too busy to give it the attention needed.
