Anyone know anything about these skates?

Recommended Posts

Those were in Nike's very first line they put out for retail. Never tried them, but it was a while ago. I'd say 5-6 years ago, but It could be longer.

I had Air Accel Elites. They weigh more than just about any skate I can think of offhand. They soak up water like a sponge too.

Those skates were junk when they came out. My friend bought them cause he thought they would be good since they were Nike, but then they killed his feet and were just awful. Speaking of Nike though, are they releasing any new equipment this year or are they sticking with the V12 skates, Apollo stick and the same protective stuff?

i think gretzky had a similar pair like those

That's what he wore at the end of his career.

They may be the heaviest skates in recent memory.

The first generation CCM 952 weighed a ton too, the ones with the seperate front and back composite soles and rubber pieces on the side of the skate

back in atom i wore those. they took about the whole year to break in! The only reason they sold was because Fedorov used them and they looked cool.
