Saw the One90

Recommended Posts

i dont think the one90 looks too bad......i dont know if i like the clear holder though. oh yeah and the 8090 is AWESOME!

I wish bauer would of left the supreme series alone. And yes I agree the 8090's look good. The one90 looks like a dressed down nike skate. And the clear crap needs to go.

at the hockey stop in columbus the 8090s are like $280 or so....i guess the chillers were selling XXs for like $170

I have a second pair of the 8090's. After I found out that bauer was doing away with them. My first pair 2 months ago were 380.00 Band R sports and my second pair 229.99 Hockey monkey.

for Scott to change, these are the real deal

I searched to find what skates Scott used to wear... and when I searched "neidermeyer" I found this:

:ph34r:

He's been in CCM's like forever. Looking through getty images, it looks like he wore Vapor XX for one game, and has used CCM's for everything else.

Nice pick of Feds in One90s in today's NHL Gallery up top. Haven't seen him in anything but Grafs since his Nike days.

he may have just been trying them out see what all the excitement is about

That's what you do in practice or a morning skate, not a game.

I remember Jarome Iginla giving Kor skates a 2 game test drive in 2003/2004 so it's not that far outside the realm of possibility.

Yeah this is true. I actually saw Kovy with a pair a couple of week/months ago at a morning skate.

I thought I'd share my Bauer One90/Kor conversation I had yesterday with my friend T who's the equipment manager for an AHL team (one from the Western Conf. West Division)...

Me: so whatta ya think about the One90's?

T: Not good... Still working out the kinks. Skates are like cars, never buy a 1st year model. That and I hate the mother f***ing toilet seat/transluscent holders.

Me: (trying not to laugh) I see... So I've seen and talked to others about the Kor skate. Is the Bauer anything like it? That and have you seen the new Bauer Supreme gloves?

T: The gloves are fugly...... The One90 isn't like the Kor boot at all...thank God. The equipment guy in Peoria has a player wearing them.....God awful.... but the player says they're the most comfortable skates he's ever worn but just a pain to maintain. The skates come with their own tool kit.... if that isnt a red flag.

So there you have it... One equipment managers feelings about the new One90 and the Kor skate. I take it the commercial version of the Kor skate doesn't come with a tool kit but I don't know. T's a pretty funny guy but very upfront about this stuff since he see's it on a regular basis...

Kor will ship shops a kit if the anchors come loose.

I know a couple of equipment guys that bitch about everything that's new or from a different company. Just because they like to whine doesn't mean either product is bad.

I hear you chadd... I personally can't imagine the amount of crap an equipment manager has to deal with and I don't want to.... I didn't mean for the post to sound like an attack on either Kor or Bauer but rather just what it was... a conversation. There's always going to be the next "new and/or big" thing in hockey and I was just looking for some feedback on these from a different perspective than the LHS and the board. Safe to say I wouldn't be bitchin if someone gave me either to have or to try out for awhile...

yeah same here...I wouldn't count out the one90s just because one equipment manager said they suck. i mean look at a lot of "first year models" in hockey that were success.
