    Are those the new fanatic socks also?

    MACH Skates launched in Europe on June 10th along with the Nexus SYNC Sticks...

    It's not, unless they bring out something that isn't in the bookings or catalog

    It's not a Vapor stick year

    It certainly helps bring it closer to the boot specs of the 2XR Pro, still not quite as premium, which is intentional and reflects in the pricing and specs. The 3X Pro is an amalgamation of the 2XR Pro and 2XR. If you can get the 2XR on sale, the chassis and wheel makes it a no brainer alone.

    If you're after pro spec and hardware, try to snap up a pair of the 2XR Pro Skate while you can

    My first thought was the KOHO Core Beam

    No, it's a standard supportive tendon guard. Edit: It says so on the image shared.

    Seems to be the answer, makes way more sense than a lake in Kazakhstan
  10. steve66
    Yes. but can't share just yet

    If you're struggling to find your size in stock, drop a store a message, sizes can always be ordered in from True EU. New Missions will be in UK shortly, hopefully rinks will be open once they do.

    You're correct that he is wearing them from the graphics on the heel and tendon. But, I don't have a better image to offer at the moment, just saying that he's not the best player to focus on to get an idea of what the 100K Pros look like...
  13. steve66
    Reilly isn't the best guy to be looking at to get an idea of how the 100Ks will look, most of the branding and colour pops are covered by his shot blocker additions

    Glad to hear your questions were answered, i'll be sure to get the services listed online, appreciate the feedback!

    Good to have you back reviewing JR!
  16. steve66
    I heard a few had moved into other categories

    Seen the new Mission skate samples and the new catalogue, so they're not going anywhere yet... perhaps just a streamlining of the operations, and makes more sense to have the skates on the Bauer site to be seen by more eyeballs.

    We asked at the EU TRUE helmet launch in the MIPS factory Stockholm, they answered very carefully to not imply exclusivity. It would make sense for MIPS to be in multiple helmets for their licensing model as with multiple helmets in other sports. However, given what you mention, if another company chooses to implement MIPS is another question... So for now it's exclusively in TRUE through choice of other brands not using it, not because there is a deal as originally mentioned.
  19. steve66
    I don't think MIPS is exclusively in TRUE, it is for now, but didn't think there was an exclusivity deal there.

    Quite a few lines have been launched in Europe first recently. Supreme Skates and Stick line, Supreme Goal, New CCM Super Tacks had an early release too here

    The finish looks decent on the first batch of TF7 and TF9, better than a lot of the custom skates, hopefully that continues. Will be interesting to see how they fit on customers, the lasts seem to vary from one size to the next and between the models. Not had chance to bake any yet.

    If you haven't already listened, there is a good interview with Andy Sutton on the '31 thoughts' Podcast hosted by Jeff Marek & Elliotte Friedman. You can find it on your usual podcast service, look for the 'How to Create an NHL Bubble' episode, and scrub through to 1:20:20 Direct link to episode: https://podcast.sportsnet.ca/31-thoughts/how-to-best-set-up-an-nhl-bubble/ Andy outlines how he acquired Verbero, the direction he wants to take it, some of the custom offerings and IPs they want to go after, and some of the people now involved in the product R&D.

    I've only just got around to this episode, too many podcasts on the go... but I thought it was a really interesting discussion with some interesting insight into the direction he's looking to take the brand. It will be interesting to see how the custom strategy and IPs work out. If you've not yet given it a listen, something interesting to fill your time with...
  24. steve66
    Still see the CCM iteration of it around every now and again

    I guess it depends how seriously people still take covid when they return to sports. If you want to protect yourself, or help prevent any possible spread by reducing the spread of droplets from sweat, coughing, sneezes might be a simple addition to the bag. The Schutt splash shield has an interesting simulation model
