it seems like there are no nhlers wearing these. No that it matters that much but is it because they are not a quality skate? or other...

thanks

Theres a few out there. Datsyuk and Marchment come to mind immediatly. It's not they are por quality, but just that most guys are so biased to Bauer/CCM/Graf skates they won't venture to different companies. Also the Razor Blades holder is garbage.

most NHl'ers switch their holders anyway. i cant tell you how many CCM's or missions or even grafs that have either lightspeeds or customs on them

He mostly used the 2003's, but i also saw in one game that he had 2004's on. He also uses the Razorblade holders.

My guess is the look has something to do with it. It's a loud skate.

ARe they the same as the 2003 but lighter?

I agree with Jr's reasoning, they look god awful.

i'd was looking at them the other day, they have a similar quarter to the vector pros (the metal meshy stuff), and they feel lighter, seems like they'll be more durable too because theres less random bits of plastic stuck to the boot

The 2004s have Easton's version of perf steel, a different quarter wrap, a metal matrix(?) compared to a carbon outer sole, a microfiber rather than suede liner, and a smaller tongue like the Vector Pros. Fit is the same. I haven't heard any feedback from the 2004s yet. Oh, yeah, the new Z-Air Fusions weight in at 867 grams in a size 7. Little FYI.

I actually prefer the looks of the 03 Comp Airs over the new 04 models. I love the feel of the 04's though, they're very nice skates. Plus, with the deal that they have right now, with the free Si-core stick, how could you lose? Well, other than losing $370 out of your wallet.
