That is more or less what I've been told. This is wonderful. Definitely going to be my next skate.

One can hope. I know they're offering half sizes in the Mako, so I'd imagine they'll have different widths available too.

Home oven - flip the skates over half way. That's how the MLX skates were made to work.

While I appreciate you reopening the thread, if you feel that this is too early to be discussing the skate you can certainly lock this down again. It's close, the colors are a photo negative. The highlights will be orange, not red. It's really as close to an MLX skate as it can get. Upgraded. I have it on good authority that the molding capability of the skate will be on par with the MLX... which is all I need to know about the skate.

Where'd that come from Harv? If you look closely, Gonchar's skates have a silver wrap/binding on the lower quarter. Yours and the last picture in my post have black wrap/binding.

Rather than clutter up the gear sightings thread, I figured I'd condense all the information we have so far into one thread. We'll be seeing actual pictures and information soon enough, but for now here's what is known so far: Back in November 2011 Easton buys MLX and names Dave Cruikshank the Chief of Speed of Easton's Speed Institute: http://www.eastonbel...speed-institute This created a lot of speculation about a new Easton/MLX skate hybrid. To this point, it's still unknown how much MLX tech is going to be integrated into the Mako skate. There is speculation of course, but the question a lot of people are asking is will the same fit and molding capabilities as the MLX skate be integrated into the Mako skates. Rumor has it that it will be on par with the MLX skate... which is great for those that have flat feet and unusual feet type. Though I doubt the customer service some people enjoyed with MLX will be available with such a large company such as Easton. That said, until actual facts are released though this is all speculation. The only actual solid fact we know is that the skate is in its final design. Here are some pictures. Personally, I like the design. It looks like the flexible tendon guard still exists - however in the last picture it at least looks like it might be removable. I can't tell if that's a screw or if it's just for show. A new holder design is making an appearance as well. At first glance the boot looks extremely deep too, which is great news for that audience. Dave Cruikshank with what appears to be a prototype. Please feel free to add any information you have, questions, etc etc. Easton is on this forum, but I doubt we'll get any actual facts until the holiday catalog comes out or they start posting actual real pictures of the skate.

Those are some sweet eagle pads. I have never seen those before. Sweet pick up.

Very nice pickup. Stealths are awesome sticks. Shanahan or Lidstrom?

That is really really really cool, JR. Definitely one of the more unique things I've seen on here.

Yeah. Ebay and Craiglist have had some nice finds for me lately.

The white one has a brother now.

Those are some beauty skates. Too bad they don't fit me correctly.

I still regret having to sell my pair of 1350's. I think that was Easton's last attempt to keep him in their glove. Though, that is pure speculation, I haven't the faintest idea the story behind those. They look bulkier than the previous gloves. Same with his black Warrior's, they look bulky in some way. It is a bulky glove, don't get me wrong, but bulkier at least visually than I'd seen in the past. The pair I have now is more in line with his gloves from previous seasons ('07 and prior). The first pair of the Warrior's I ever saw was the pair TBLfan picked up. Split fingers, non-leather - beautiful. Speaking of, what happened to him? He kind of dropped off.

One off's, based on the old Easton 9500. Unobtainium, basically. First pair of Modano gloves I've seen for sale ever, outside of a pair of prototype black Warrior a few years ago. Thanks, mack. Appreciate it. The gloves are one off's based on the old Easton 9500. After Easton stopped making them for him, he sent one of his last pairs to Warrior to have them reconstructed. There was a prototype Warriro Tufftek version that surfaced a few years ago. TBLfan bought them from another member here, and as far as I know he still has them. Warrior reconstructed the glove for him, it's not a simple logo switch. From what I've been told, they aren't allowed to produce more, even for a limited run for reasons that I can't say in a public setting. Which, as frustrating as that is I do understand why now. The only Tufftek version was the black pair that TBLfan has. His Dallas gloves and all of his Detroit gloves are all non-Tufftek.

The gloves are the final piece to the collection. I might add more of Mo's sticks as I find them, but this is a pretty damn fine accomplishment if I do say so myself. Edit: Resized super sized pic.

14"... jeeze those are in great shape. Well done.

These gloves are now the rarest piece of hockey equipment I will ever own. Going right into a glass case. Might get them signed, might not.

Nice pick up, mack.

Nice. Slaps some Tuuks on those; good to go.

... Are people really that moronic?

Yes.

A large thank you to Darkstar for helping me out, once again. Both times with Eagle. DS, you rock.

My jaw hit the floor.

Those are pretty cool. Nice job.
