they might not be game ready yet, plus they showed him this morning because they where saying how he had a ankle sprain, dus the reason for showing his feet... he did look tender and grimaced one or twice...

Yeah, I saw them on RDS tonight, they showed a clip of him at practice this morning and he had em... Never saw them in a game tho and I see all games... Looks like those won't hit retail either...

theres nothing sexier then black grafs on black holders imo, too bad the quality went south...

surprised no one90 yet...

holly equipment lando_8, thats allot of budget for hockey, why to black helmets?

I was told that most helmets are modified by players and no longer certified safe to wear. exactly. I got my self this morning a pair of Jofa pants and a pair of white socks! :D I'll post pics later B) i hate you!

Product: Mission Pure S500 Carbon 8E Reviewer specs: 5'11, 215, flat arch, wide forefoot, regular heel Intro As most of you know, I had allot of problems with Graf skates, for those who don't know, hers the post Graf Problem Following this, Justin Hoffman from Mission kindly offered me a brand new pair of S500's to replace my faulty pair of 703's (Nicest thing something has ever done for me). Before receiving the Missions, I started feeling back pain and shooting pain down my leg, this was caused by a herniated disk as what I think is a result of skating on the crooked and modified "Ghetto Style" warranty work by Graf Canada. So after six months of healing and doctor’s treatment and a winter with basically no hockey to watch, I'm back on the Ice for some light skating, no contact or real game action yet... Boot Fist thing I have to say about the construction of this boot is top notch, coming from Graf product for five years, you get use to skates looking crooked and things no being exactly strait of the holders being flush, this skate is so well built, you almost feel like putting em up as a decorative piece in you’re home 11/10 Fit First off, I usually wear no sox in skates but after heat molding these bad boys, I noticed that they got like a half size bigger so now without sox they feel a little too long. The E with is great, no unreasonable pain, for those who want to jump from Graf to Mission, I was in a R. If you buy these, you might want to get the snuggest you can go with before heat molding. They are not restrictive at all in terms of movement but I will need to replace the tongue like Joe Thornton does cause I hate the new style ones like the Vectors and Easton’s (I like it old school) 9/10 Blade/Holder The PITCH system is great, Mission always wants the user to have the option and at the price skates sell, I think that it should be the standard, I have Vibe 2 holder on my rollers and I also appreciate that aspect, I had problems with adjusting them at first but once I figured in out, I was good (I read the manual ) not what I'm use to but great and very innovative. 10/10 Protection No games played so no shots taken but they feel strong, they have to be more protective then my old skates. N/A Weight Lighter than my old skates and these don't seem to retain water so... 9/10 Durability I only skated 3 times on em, about 6 hours and they feel broken in, they look like they will keep there stiffness since after a 2 hour session, they don't get soft or retain water witch was a big problem with you know who.... N/A Conclusion I've been skating in the same thing for the past six years and I'm one of the old school guys that refuse to change my old stuff, that being said, I'm having a hard time adjusting to a new pair partly due to the fact that I'm coming back from injury and my skating and hockey skill as a hole is really not up to my usual standards, so my review of these skates can be subjective... What I do know is that Mission is a first class product and fist class in customer support. Justin Hoffman took it upon himself to fix a problem that was not his and for that I am for ever in dept (He did what Graf should have done instead of drilling my skate). I was already using there Roller Hockey skates and before I got hurt, I purchased a pair of M1 Gloves and M2 pants and I will continue to turn to a company who supports the customer like Mission does and that constantly tries to give the player alternatives and in turn the edge on the competition...

Thats a tought one but I know the guys from the qmjhl will put a order on the new tacks with the white like that... My favorites where the ones Ryan Smyth wears... Unless you be a pro, I don't see that happening unless you got mad contacts... I see some at times on EBAY
