My collection of skates...It's really a like a story of goldilocks and the three bears, only a lot more tragic from my wallets perspective. It was time to retire the Supreme 4000's after 15 or so years of dutiful service.

After having been away from the game, I wanted to make I still love it. So I went on the low end with 5K Pumps, but they were too soft.

Once I determined that the 5K was too soft and affecting my skating, I went back to my tried and true brand of Bauer. Little did I know did I know that a 12D from 15 yrs ago is not the same as todays 12D. 12EE in the Vapors fit fine in the store, but I think we all know how this portion of the story is going to end.

That brings me to my One95's. Having spents many hours reading this board, everything started to click on getting fitted. One bake and 11.5D's fit great.

I am personally liking the black laces, and can even envision a black dye job for those holders. Now if I could just play as good as I look...:)

I'm lovin the 4000's, do they have one black holder? If so just dye one of the one95's for reminiscence sake lol.

[aliebe 0]

Yes the 4000's have one black and one white. I had cracked one of the holders, and the shop only had white replacements in stock and I needed it fixed quick. I just never saw a need to replace the other one to have a matched set.

As much as I miss the 4000's, they feel like lead bricks compared to the XXXX's and the One95's.

And the rest of my gear...

Kind of hard to tell, but the helmet is a NBH5500 with stock cage

Those ONE95's look great with those laces. I think more people need to use black, I had them on my Supreme 70's

It's funny that people don't talk more on this site about the durability of those old supremes. My father plays a couple times a week and has had the same pair for a solid 15 years, and besides feeling like they're made of silly puddy they're in really good condition. I feel like a lot of people have gotten serious mileage out of those wheels, and I always felt like they looked sick. Kariya is a good example, I remember hearing dude's got the same skates he used to drop 100 at Maine in like '91.

I would still be wearing them if I hadn't discovered beer in college. My 30 pack abs were just too much for the old girls (same goes for those 5K's).

I mentioned something about this is the original One95 thread. My old man has had a pair of Supreme 5000's for...10 years? at least, and he still uses them for coaching. They're a great skate that has held up well on him.

All those TBL pants make that photo resemble the hockey equipment version of "2 Girls & A Cup".

Agreed... I love black on black.

oh man that pic of the Bauer 4000's turned me on a little. I had those skates like 8-9 years ago and absolutly loved them. Which fit was the most like the 4000's the one95's or Vapor XXXX's?

Here are the wares. Some are the lady's, some are mine.

Here are the twigs. Again, some are hers, some are mine. The top two are for sale, if anyone wants them.

The One95's. They have better depth and wrap. I had to lace the Vapors outside-in through the middle part of the boot to even come close to the feel of the 4000's. I basically was having the same problems as this guy.

My old man still rocks his 5000's twice a week, got to be at least 10 years now. He actually bought One90's, took him about 2 months to actually wear them in a game, used them a few times and just put them back on the shelf in the basement. I'm furious they are one size too small for me.

custom graf skates

[BottlePopper4 0]

english how are these custom? what are the mods on these

english how are these custom? what are the mods on these

[english15x 3]

bought them from some guy in BC. They have the newer thermomoldable tongue on them, not traditional felt. They have holes punched in the tendon guard. Plus I finally found grafs that fit perfect.

[xaero604 0]

You'll love the thermoformable tongue. I used to have the worst pressure points on the top of my feet but these tongues solve that problem.

[english15x 3]

I'm looking forward to skating in them tomorrow. Some guy screwed me online and sold me the same skates in size 8 when I needed a 8.5, but I lucked out and got 8.5 N , which is a plus.

[starsfan71 9]

Hide them from TBL ;)

[english15x 3]

nothing to hide :D

I like grafs

[Fletch 219]

What's the point of the holes in the tendon guard?

[schrempsky 0]

i thought it was a feature of older model skates so you could tie your shin pads to your skates

maybe graf kept it as a type of throwback
