White Rbk 9k

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

The reason why it is a "test run" is because they want to see if it is worth putting them out on a grander scale.

Will I ask for a pair? No. That skate won't fit me unless it is custom.

The race is on!

Cant wait til they get here......I think they are sharp as hell.

Bet you paid through the nose. Buying in Canada is a killer. Probably should've waited til it came Stateside.

It really wasnt THAT bad......A little premium, but thats because there was NO discount...

Ive never understood that. The dollar is strong up there. Last time I was in Banff, I brought home shitloads of stuff.

just got back from work today and I saw the 9k whites and the 10.0 SE, lots of people buying them today..

It's not really that big of a deal, the 9ks are white and the vectors are black with a special shade of yellow laces which I wouldn't mind snagging for myself someday somehow :P

Just got a pair from the hockey shop.

did you read the post? That's not the same "special" shade of yellow. Obviously any fool can get a set of yellow waxed laces.

seriously guys, are the 9k white THAT hot?

I mean the reg. 9k all black is IMO a very good looking skate.it make you more dark! lol..

I can't decide if i should buy all white or black.

It's different, and that's the allure. I mean, GW's are pretty rare and all, but if the original 9K were made in white, and they made a "Special edition" in black (kinda what they did with the V10.0 SE, if you think about it) there'd still be the buzz.

i think the whites look alot better... they look real sick with black holders too.

[TBLfan 25]

I think the new vectors look worse than the original 10.0. But the white 9Ks look amazing. But I've always liked skates with a lot of white on them... I might prefer some black holders on them though.

[BigT 4]

so if these skates do well enough now, they will be released in the US at a later date?

I don't like a lot of the great whites that are out there, but I did like my old CCM 795s and I do like these. I may have to see if I can track down a pair in Toronto when I'm up there next weekend.

i think the only nice white skate were the graf great white that it..

when I see these rbk, i can't say they are ugly but the would just look better if they had a graf logo on them.

I actually rate products by the actual quality and not by the logo. Call me crazy.

as happy as i am that reebok is listening to their customers about this skate (or at least they are so far)

if they start mass producing this skate - then no one will want it anymore.

i like having rare/special things that not everyone else has.

i think some of these companies should come out with limited runs of a particular version of a skate and then not make anymore - like with this skate make 1000 of them and mark them all x out of /1000

its kind of like with cars - they only make a certain number of ferrari enzo's and then no more - regardless of the demand

Totally agree with you on your post.

I don't think mass-production will effect sales... although a limited run will better suit the manufacturer.

In conversation with the guys in my hour last night 4 people (including myself) were amped on the thought of white 9K's... the other 9 guys thought white skates were haggard..

so it's really not everyone's cup of tea. I like the 9K just as it is... and if I didn't already own a pair, I would have ordered the whites already. I'd like a pair, and I have some money laying around that I've been sitting on while I'm out of work... who knows, if I find a new job soon, I'll grab a pair.

[pat19 0]

i dont think mass production would affect sales but they wouldnt be nearly as cool if everyone had them.

[Krog7d7 0]

I'd say there's only a handful, in comparison, of us who would want the white skates as those who would want/prefer white.

It's take a special breed of player to WANT and appreciate the white skates.
