Just reading this thread has me drooling...any shops in NJ do the FBV? I know sharpening can be an artform, but is it as easy as the video makes it seem?

White laces....complement the white logo's and white streaks nicely BTW...are those blue and black 120" and waxed by chance?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that maybe he bought them used and that he had absolutely nothing to do with putting LSP's on.

Spree & Darkstar Splendid job! Those are absolutely gorgeous. I'm feeling inspired to order up my own (in different colors though). If you don't mind me asking, how much of a premium was there for the custom work?

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.

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).

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

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...:)
