What kind of Bauers are these?

[Dennis25 0]

I bought new skates some time ago in my LHS and they guy told me that the skates I picked out I were so called "specials" as these skates were only available in the Netherlands for a certain period.

The skates retailed normally for 249 Euro and are called Vapor Pro's. I wondered if these are also sold in NA and Canada as well and to which "normal" Bauer Vapor's I could compare this to?

They fit (after baking them two times)and skate great (I always buy Bauers) and for my level of play (beerleague) they are more than OK.

The tendon guard looks like the same one from the Vapor XX, maybe a dressed up XX?

Whatever it is i bet its some kind of smu.

special made unit?

Special make up. Its basically a product made for a certain store (think Vapor Shift)

The tongue and outsole seem to be from the vapor XIV and, looks identical to the vapor select 2 almost. Like this one in the pic.

The outsole is identical except for the bit where it says PRO or XIV. The tongue on my skates are black whereas they have another color on the Vapor XIV. For the rest they are quite similar (except for the cost price :-)

What kind of lining is there?

[theWB 2]

As previously stated, it looks equivalent to a vapor xiv. Notice how it comes with the custom plus with stainless. A higher model would have lightspeed(xix) and a lower model would have the molded holder with steel built in(the name of that holder escapes me) like the vapor VIII.

heres a better look of a select 2 skate smu for source for sports. The newer kinds have the same thing but different looks
