2008 Mission Product

The Boss boots are amazing. I put them through one quick bake and then after about an hour skating they felt as good as my 9500's did after many hours, blisters, and bloodied socks. On my feet, they feel lower cut than the 9500's. I don't wrap the laces around the top and still have plenty of stability while enjoying good foreword flex. They are also very light. As near as I can tell these are my dream boots.

The Vanguard design is tremendous, I also did not try the WIcked line last year, but I really cannot imagine anyone having trouble breaking these in. I understand that some people have unique foot structures which would seem to create headaches no matter what boot you try.

Look foreword to these, they will be worth the wait.

Are the new models out? How did you get a pair? I am anxiously awaiting these as my PF10s have had enough.

Well a friend of mine in the proshop got the prototypes. He said that they will be out in october

[SCATMAN 33]

can this be confirmed?

Looks as though great skate is listing more skates than originally listed here.

[bbquakes5 0]

Yah, but they don't have the Boss skates on there.

I would guess that the Wicked 5 would have decent durability. Although if you are determined to spend less than $300 it might be worth the wait for the '08s to come out. Then you could get the 08 $300 price point model (assassin I think or maybe the Lieutenant) or get the Wicked 1 for around the same price.

Dont think the LT or assasin are the price point skates. I think the skate lines will be as follows from best down:

Boss

LT

Assasin

Soldier

& should have another 2 or so like the 3500 and 1500.

Thats what I think though...

Boss

Lieutenant

Assassin

Soldier

DSX

CSX

BSX

SX - Adjustable skate only kids

i was just about to make the comment "if only justin were here." lol

those new mission look real good. Thinking LT. or possibly Boss when they come out... Lt.'s have the 608's vs. the 688's compared to the wicked three's from last year

[bbquakes5 0]

Justin, the Boss are going to be released in October right?

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

Yes

[bbquakes5 0]

I'm pretty sure that the Boss are going to be $549.99 instead of $499.99 for previous top end skates.

[SCATMAN 33]

you pay for what you get though :D

So what's up with the Mission brand wheels coming out in October too?? Did Mission buy someone out?? Anything interesting about the wheels or are they single-pour urethane on regular wheel hubs??

F~F

[cougarscaptain87 12]

im 99% sure that when i was at the 2008 product demo that the mission reps said that hyper was making the mission branded wheels, i believe the prototype still had the hyper logo on the hub, as for how many pours i believe that it is a price point single pour wheel.

hey guys,

I noticed that great skate.com had a size 12 listed but not a 13. I am assuming that mission will also manufacture a size 13 and great skate is just not carrying that size. Can anyone confirm that. I have my eye on the lt. and would like to purchase them from my lhs. thanks.

[Justin 1933 134]

Yes Mission makes size 13

i felt those gloves at statewars....

they felt so good.

IM deffinently getting myself a pair pretty soon.

the luitenents were the best it felt like to me, though they didnt have as much protection as the bosses did.

justin, is there a link for the new website yet?

[oldtimer72 0]

With the new Boss skates the retail version shows the Hyper wheels as they are supposed to be great wheels but how come in the Narch pics the mission players are all or most are using other wheels I think they are the blue and white RR hornets on most? So does that say something about the Hyper wheels?

[kovalchuk71 212]

Sponsorships? Personal Preference? I know I wouldn't want to take a chance on wheels I have never used if I was playing in a national tournament.

It's because the blue skate that I photoshopped is so much better than the green. :P How can you skate on green wheels knowing that blue would make you look so much better?
