Nike Flexlite 12 skates

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone has seen any of these skates left over in any shops or online because i'm looking to buy another pair? I know they stopped making the 12's but i guess it's worth a shot to post it here. thanks for any info on this.

The 12 is now the 20: exact same skate. It's not available in stock in North America, only Europe and Asia, but I believe it can be ordered by some dealers in NA. It's also available as a custom option.

FWIW, the 10 is the 18, the 9 is the 16, and the 2 is the 14 (ie. crap).

There are still places on line selling the Flexlite 18 (formerly the 10). I have a pair (unfortunately ordered them a 1/2 size too large and never used them) and they seem really quite nice. I compared them to an old pair of 10's I saw at the store and they seems slightly lighter and stiffer (but this could have been due to the ones I saw were used; although they appeared in great shape). Cosmetic differences were not significant (logo for instance, slight shading) .

What size are you looking for?

I lucked out and found a pair at a shop in Boston a few months ago. Check ebay, as new pairs in a pretty wide range of sizes find their way up with surprising frequency.

I have the Flexlite 18s (the new 10s) and I really like them. I'm coming from the Supreme 50, so I like the switch. The toebox is wider than usual D width NikeBauer skates, but the heel is still kinda narrow. If you find any Flexlite 20s in the US or Canada, please let me know......

You'll drop about a half size from Bauer to Nike, IME. I fit snugly in a 7.5D Flexlite; a 7.5D 8090 I could barely get my foot into. I'm now wearing an 8D Flexlite as a cheat for a little extra depth (length is merely OK, a little generous), though I never did find an 8D 8090 to try on for comparison.

In Graf 709s I take an 8.5.

I'm close to the same. Wear 8EE in 5090's but 7.5d in Flexlite 12's (very snug though). Toe brushes the caps in both skates. Wouldn't be able to wear 7.5's in the 5090/8090 due to length.

So relatively close to a CCM/RBK in length, then - I needed 9.5 in 8090, but I wear 8.5 - 9 in CCM - 8.5 for a super-snug fit, 9 for a perfect fit - toes touching but not squeezed.
