Vapor X:60

[tooomey 1]

I saw the 2009 bauer cataloge and the new top of the line Vapors are being called X 60??? What Happened to 50??? The pics were not in color, anyone got info or pics on the new model?

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

Look closely, there is a 50.

......as I scratch my planned trip to go buy XXXX's off this weekends to do list. :)

[tooomey 1]

Yes but the 50 is not the top of the line. Correct?? The 50 is more like the 25??

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

Correct. Should clarify - X50 doesn't replace 25, it's a new model. X40 replaces 25

Is it picture time yet? So these are the new 'BaUER' skates?

[tooomey 1]

Yes the new bauer vapor line with no swoosh.. I saw the catalogue but nothing was in color im sure someone here who works at a shop can post a pic..

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

You think your LHS was the only one to get one with no pictures? They're all like that.

Trying to make it JR-proof. LOL

Anyone know anything about them? Are they going to move towards the tech of the ONE95s or stay with the same type of Vapor fit?

[Jarick 5]

I hope they stay with the Vapor fit, they're the only skates I fit into.

PICS????

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

Might as well just say it now - there won't be pictures of the skate. It will be worn at pro, but you won't be able to tell. It won't be in the catalogue, and when I see the skate I have been told to leave my phone in the car. They want to be secretive with the product, hence the "JR-proof" comment when it comes to the catalogue.

Jarick - it will fit like a Vapor, but not necessarily the last one. It's 60 for a reason.

Man, talk about building up the hype....

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

Exactly.

[shooter27 116]

Geeze, is this a pair of skates or a set of nuclear launch codes we're talking about? They're still going to be a skate and look like a skate regardless of the colors or graphics package. Is there really anything that radical they can do to tweak the look anymore?

[stick9 890]

Kind of a two part question. If the X40 replaces the X25 with the X50 and X60 being new models. Will the X40 be re-branded to remove the Nike name? If so will we see NBH branded X40's on closeout?

[Rustyhole 1]

i believe it means... x40 replaces XXV; x60 replaces xxxx

x50 is new

there is no x25 hence no nbh x40's, maybe see xxxx's on closeout however

Correct. Any new models from this point forward will have Bauer branding, not NBH.

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

They're all new skates - nothing is crossing over. "Replace" means it is at that old skate's price point/spec level.

It is called marketing. Apple and so many others do it, too.

Should've made them invisible then.

aka. X60's dressed as Vapor XXXX's? and JR are they going to save these for a holiday launch next year? or will this be summer 2009?

[JR Boucicaut 3797]

Spring 2009

[jbyun04 7]

Spring 2009

I'm going to guess that it will be an amped up "continuation" of the old Vapor 10s.
