masterpirate13 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 These definately aren't your run of the mill nike v12's. I know he wore a vapor XX last NHL season. I didn't look to see when we wore these. Does anyone have any guess as to what these are? They look structurally like the Vapor 10's. Naslund skates its the picture in the top row all the way to the right...

Vapor#42 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 may i ask as to why Markus Naslund would be wearing Vapor X skates ? why not Nike V-12 or Vapor XX's that asthetically look like Nikes.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cavs019 708 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 Because vapor 10s, not X used to be top of line and IMO, are better than every skate on the market today. Bertuzzi and Hossa still wear them as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbyun04 7 Report post Posted September 4, 2005 i think at burnaby 8-rinks where the Canucks practice I swear I thought he changed his skate to flexlite 12s..... we also know that his stick isn't an apollo it's a v12 woodie from europe customized to his liking of course.. big thread about that a while back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Vapor 10's with the grey and black design with the triangle's cut out in the steel of the blade? If those are the ones you're talking about, they are fantastic - Great skate!

Andoy 5 Report post Posted September 5, 2005 In addition to the dressed up Vapor 10s i think he also uses those old ICM holders. I know Jovo uses them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andoy 5 Report post Posted September 8, 2005 why are naslund's make up of v-12's so different than what kovalchuk has? Is there really any reason? The only reason i can think of is because Kovalchuk uses Vapor XXs dressed up in nike whereas Nazzy uses Vapor 10s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason i can think of is because Kovalchuk uses Vapor XXs dressed up in nike whereas Nazzy uses Vapor 10s. I thought the reason kovalchuk's got specially done was because he was wearing the vapor 10's and not a newer model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andoy 5 Report post Posted September 9, 2005 I swear i thought it was the other way around...Anyways i dropped by the rink near my place and the canucks were having a practice. Yes, Markus Naslund wears what appears to be Flexlite 12s but they look a little different, they look alot more like Flexlite 9 skates w/ ICM holders if you ask me! I'm not saying that they are but I guess Nike made the swoosh sign on his skates much bigger and of a diff color so that we'll be able to see it better.

jbyun04 7 Report post Posted September 16, 2005 k now i don't know if he's playing tricks by switching skates all the time *credit to nucks forums*does that really look like a pair of flexlites? I think they look more like Eastons crossed w/ Vapors?? Is that the Flexlite 12 but looks like Flexlite 9 sort of one you were talking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
