So do they after 3D automatically assign the right size (7,5 D or EE) and also adapt the volume of the skate? Or do you have to manually tell them about it?

They automatically assign it based on the scan. My right is an 8.5 D, my left is an 8.25 D.

Has anyone done the CCM 3D scanner to get a custom pair yet?

That’s how mine were done. Really awesome system. Biggest reason why they fit so nicely even before heat molding.

Got it, thanks.  Are there any differences other than the holder setup between your "regular" pro order and a retail AS1?  And interesting on the notch - it looks kind of out of place but I get what you're saying about having a pry spot.  

The first thing that noticeably jumps out to me is the tongue, but that's because I was given about 10 different options to choose from. Other than that, I'm not too sure what differences there are between mine and the retail version. I've got a friend that works at a LHS and is going to be heading to a massive demo day soon, so he's been tasked with finding out. I'd imagine there's a slight difference in weight too, based on previous pro vs retail offerings I've used. That's just pure speculation though.

@sbisson91 those look phenomenal.  Are they a custom order? Also, in your pic it looks like the steel isn't quite fully into the holder - is that just from not having it tightened back in all the way?  Holder definitely looks interesting. 

Not so much a custom order as just a regular pro order. I work for a hockey team, so occasionally I get little benefits like this.

The Step Steel is fully in the holder. It was designed to have a little notch out of the back so if you need help getting the blade out when you unscrew it, there's space to insert a little pry option there.

Nice. Was the XS holder a special order or are all AS1's coming with it? Purehockey's product pages for both senior and junior show the SB Black runners with SB4.0 holders.

The XS holder is just for the pro options. Like was mentioned earlier, it isn't coming to retail, yet.

I got my AS1's yesterday and out of the box they feel phenomenal. I absolutely love the fit.

The XS Holder is really easy, if a bit more finicky than the LS Edge holder at first, but I prefer how the SB holder pitched my foot, so overall I'm a fan.

Just had my buddy who works at my LHS do some frankensteining for me with my skates. I had issues with RBZ's breaking down waaaay too easily on me, but I loved the SB+4 holders, so I had them put onto my Bauer one.7 (which is an extremely underrated skate in my opinion). Love how they feel.
