90's Skates

Recommended Posts

Thought I'd put a old school question out there.

What you favorite old (and I mean really old) skate model?

652, 752, 1052

3000, 4000, Comps, Comp 5000 that sort of thing.

I loved my CCM 652 and 1052

What do you think?

For the young guys, Vapor XXX was sweet too

It's a toss up between my CCM Tacks 652s or Bauer Supreme Custom 4000's. I think the Tacks looked way cooler, and were what my favorite player Chris Chelios wore back in the day.

i had some 752 Kevlar tacks - non pump model.

they were great - when i came back to the sport - i literally spent hours/days trying to find a pear in my size hoping i would find something..

no dice :(

CCM 752s where my first and serves me long and well and probably my favorites from back then.

Also liked the Micron Mega Air 90s had for awhile.

I ended up going to 952s, sold them and got 1052s which lasted me for years(with a few years off from hockey) right up until I bought some Reebok 11K whites which then lead me to my current Makos, which are my all time favorites!

Micron/Mega Air 90. They ruined them when they changed them to Bauer's. 

Bure seemed to think so as well.

I might not have the memory or product knowledge from back then, but if I am not mistaken the Micron Mega were manufactured under CAN-STAR (same with the Daoust around that time?) which I believe at the time encompassed Bauer as well, so technically the Air 10-90 Bure wore were Bauer. Again I might be wrong.
