Cobra, how are the new Reebok shins? I'll be looking at them at the Hockeyworld sale tomorrow, but an opinion from someone who owns a pair would be nice. Unfortunately I have not been able to skate in them yet...i will Monday. Coming from my old ones they feel like a million bucks, very comfy. Those shinnies are nice. Was thinking about getting them too but I heard they are fairly wide throughout. Is that true? If so it might not be the best fit for me as I have thin legs... Eh, they are a tad wide...but not as wide as they look. If you have ever worn Jofa shin pads of any sort, they are comparable to that. They are a little bit wider than the Eastons, Warriors, and Bauers I tried on though. Thanks for the info. I'll def try them on next time at my LHS. The look pretty sweet

I'm loving the Jofa elbow pads. How similar are the new Reebok ones considering they say they are modeled after the Jofa's? Also, any way to find those under $40-$50 bucks???
-
Def looks better in the follow up pictures though. Nice buy!
-
How do you guys get access to these team sales? Do you have to have a connection or are they open to the public? And how do the prices of the equipment compare to retail prices? Sorry for the n00b question, thanks!
-
That does look like a mission blade weave, very similar to one that I have, but would they actually put that onto a NB vapor?
-
Nice one. Is that the one from hockeymonkey pro stock? Was thinking about ordering it. Aside from the grip did you notice any other difference vs the retail model?

I think he means that they used the last/shape of the discontinued Daoust skates (the ones Gretz wore for years) as a basis for the design of the first series of nike boots. Thanks for that. I missed what he meant there :D
-
Thanks! And didn't realize they used the same material as Air Jordan's. Pretty cool :D What did you mean that they are off of the Daoust mold? And no they're not even close to purple. That picture does have a slight hue to it, but in person they are black and when they reflect light they glisten/shine. I'm actually selling mine too if anyone is interested. Obviously I don't play ice considering the skates are in like new condition. Size 11.5D PM me if interested!

Your right about there being a bunch of similar ones. Yours are the updated ones to mine. And the cheaper ones that look similar which you are referring to were made in Malaysia or China. The higher end ones were made in Canada. Otherwise they are somewhat hard to differentiate. Also the higher end ones had Zoom Air gel packs in the ankles where the cheaper ones were regular stuffing type padding. In terms of weight, I wouldn't call them bricks, but they are heavier than current Vapors and such. The best comparison I could give you is that they are a bit lighter than a high end roller hockey skate...
-
I'm almost positive mine are the zoom air elites. I believe they came out one year prior to the ones you have pictured...
-
These are a throw back. Same skates worn by Fedorov and Gretzky years ago. Incredibly comfortable and love the reflectivity :)

Defintely sucks to have to play with anyone like that. What I've actually noticed is that when I was starting to get back into playin (roller) I was going to open sessions and there were always a few guys like you mentioned above. Thought they were the sheet and so good. As I started getting better and playing for a few teams now, I ran across these guys in real games, and they were all terrible!!! Its so funny to see them during a real game when they can't do anything right but when they are open they act like they own the place and do all these moves. Not saying I'm great or anything but goes to show you that these show-boaters at open and pick up sessions may act like they do because they really suck during real games. Don't get me wrong though, i hate them nonetheless
