i agree, so many people bought the one90s and the xxx's that i dont think they are going to buy these skates so soon. i like the one90s a lot beter then the xxxx

Seriously, how much can these skates be an improvement over the XXX or the one90s? I just don't think we need new skates coming out every half a year. I believe the current lines of skates available in the market are already amazing and these new skates coming out might not even offer any improvements, just a way to make us drool over the new "look".

They're not just adding a new skate(well, an updated version) for no reason. NBH carries 2 completely different lines of skates(3 if you include the Flexlites). They added a new supreme skate in the one90, and hadn't introduced a new Vapor since the XXX. The 40 is coming at a really good time for us from an LHS's view as we are beginning to run low on 30s.

with the xxxxs, will the xxx be out of the lineup or what

Um...the XXX came out two years ago.

No more XXX...the XIX will be the XV, and I forget the other ones...

Because new products sell better than old ones.

I suppose they'll update the looks on the other models in the line as well?

Yup.

I agree....if the price is right I may try to pick up a pair.

On a side note, do the XXX's punch out well (and stay punched out)? I have to punch out any skates I have because of my cursed feet.

[Cavs019 702]

In my experience the punch held for the life of the boot.

[furlanitalia 1]

My buddy has wider feet and had to get a second pair of xxx's when his wore out cause he couldn't fit in a one90. So yah xxx's punch out well.

[Fletch 219]

Thanks guys :)

No. I'm sure I could if I wanted to though.

i like them a lot. they arn't the prettiest things, but they will probably please you when you see them in person. ive felt them and they are extremley light

[Wolfpack_1986 146]

looks like more guys are getting them now, noticed Eric Staal was sporting a pair

[D3nZ 0]

Alot of the players on Team Canada are sporting them for the junior tournament.

[Wolfpack_1986 146]

im curious to see how the mainstream NHL goes with them... many chose to remain in vapor XXX's instead of the One90. while i realize its a different skate, presumably the XXXX will have a different feel from the XXX.

maybe we'll see XXX's dressed like XXXX's, but for all i know the only change they did was more padding, which you could have done through custom options.

[mojo122 530]

Changed the toe box/cap also. Can't tell from pictures, but I'm curious if any change was made to the tendon guard to make it more flexible, similar to the One90?
