Quintin 16 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 Maybe a Vector "OvechBLING" edition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sogaduch 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 yeah his vectors look sick, when he was in toronto I went to a pro skate he was at and it was amazing seeing him play on the ice with you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyprlte 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 the new vector skates will look like that except the 3 lines on the side of the boot will be chrome aswell. The Epro holder will also be black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 We're not sure if that is going to be for just Ovechkin or the retails are going to be like that. My guess it's an one-off for him, which is an idea I've mentioned before. Signature skates for certain players, like basketball shoes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything is better than the blue they have now and if you're going to use a guy to be a billboard, sell what he's wearing. Shop owners are going to go nuts if they don't offer an AO skate. How many people asked about mirrored visors after he started wearing them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3804 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 Well, that would be the thing - you would have to stock the signature skate in addition to the regular retails. It means more skus, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 Or they could offer them only through one really big internet dealer and make everyone happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many people asked about mirrored visors after he started wearing them? I'm going to go nuts if he's wearing a skate other than the Blue 10.0. We booked that skate with the whole promotional "OV" package, so if he shows up wearing something else, sales of the "blue" model will tank. Luckily for me, I don't have too many left. Still, I'll be pissed if they have a "October surprise". Next year bookings will be severely reduced! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're going to hear from me, Mr. Yup, damn sneaker companies, bastages, ALL of them (NBH and New Balance included). I will no longer book/stock more than 1 deep. They are really discouraging retailers from wanting to stock their product out of fear of obsolesence within 3-4 months of receiving the product.Honestly, I really don't need to sell hockey equipment, I can make the same amount of money I do now sharpening skates and selling t-shirts and accesories. Selling hockey equipment is a crapshoot, no guaranty that end of the year you will make a profit on it. At least with tape, I know "white" will still sell.
