New '08 RBK Skates

[Patrick67 1]

The 9k looks like somthing the Imperial Guard from Star Wars would wear... I actually like it!

Oh i dont know about them, nice enough looking boot. Thing that puts me off is the wheel set up and the chassis with its high centre of gravity

[TBLfan 25]

i think it just looks very shallow and high because of the open-ness of the holders. I haven't seen them in person, let alone tried them on so that's honestly just a guess.

[kovalchuk71 212]

The boot is probably just as deep as te 9k ice boot. Dont worry.

[phantomowner27 20]

Those look great! Looks like it's almost a flat wheel setup?

Yup, it's the Tri-Di Lite - less filling.

After I think about it, they look spiderman-ish.

looking at the wrong pic. the black and red ones. not the gray and black web slingers. I agree those ones look like they just came off the hobgoblin after he and spidey went a couple rounds.

i like,looks sharp,they look very light also.the frame looks small on the boot,no.

Holy schamoly!!! Those are probably the most beautiful skates I've seen in a long time! Much better in the looks department than the initial picture posted in this thread. Does anyone know what the specs are on these things?

[Aussie Joe 0]

Anyone else think the frames remind you of the 9KO "holey" section of the OPS?

[jmiro 55]

anyone know the price tag on these? Is the Whole line going to look like this? Anymore pics?

The 8K had medium gray where the red is and the 7K had blue.

[JGraz15 53]

Sprungster or anyone else, do you know if this is what the next ice line will resemble?

Morphed the skate with a pic from the sprung thread to see what it might look like:

[phantomowner27 20]

blacked out sprungs would be the way to go!

[OhMyGodImOnFire 0]

I agree, a white sprung is NOT the way to go. A black probably, maybe a red.

[Sprungster 5]

I agree, a white sprung is NOT the way to go. A black probably, maybe a red.

I'd like black with shiny and flat texture sections like the boots, and red hardware same color as the stripe. Maybe some red foil accents on the frame someplace. Foil's one of the only things that stick to this stuff.

And the same wheels are no problem with me.

Hey Keith, This may be a dumb question but what do you mean by foil?

Hot metallic foil stamping. Like different colors of chrome, heat stamped onto the surface. But they make flat finish foils too. Even any pattern you want, like repeated logos and that kind of thing.

i wonder if rbk will come out with a roller goalie skate

highly doubt it, although that'd be pretty sweet. hopefully there would be room for toe ties for once.

black sprung/red fuzion mini core wheels........

rbk should just go with that and dump the other design all together

[trogdor 0]

heelll no the mini core fuzions are crap and although you might think that chassis is weak its alot stronger than the other chassis you see they tested these things like crazy... the wheels are questionable tho
